Ah, so moaning and complaining endlessly about the release date is now considered "respectful" That makes complete sense.

No ones moaning or complaing we have respectfully asked, simply presenting a fact that SOW will not be released this or next month is not moaning or complaining either.

Moaning and complaining is what you do after every post i make, obviously you cant help it being a woman but please try a little restraint. No offence of course honey.

So release will be at year 2015, when will pass 75 years form BoB. And it will be enough time to do all, that must be done to complete this sim. And in 2015 users hardware will be enough to handle load which SoW will produce
Just joke... just joke... Let's be patient.

Well considering the request list from everyone and his grandma ranging from the right text on tyres to folding chairs with the correct color im gonna be suprised its ever released.

To me the SOW image hurri pilot does not actually look all that different from the historical pictures produced of the hurri pilots in the 2-bladed propped hurris in the flight line on the ground.
That picture clearly shows many of the pilots sitting quite low in the pit while others are higher up. Sure the angle is different but the fact remains that the "lower seated/shorter" pilots are clearly seated much more "deeply" in the pit than others.
The other picture of the hurris flying in line-abreast also shows many of the pilots behind the one in the foreground to be seated at approximately the same height as the SOW screenshot.
Two options and/or options: 1) the additional height added by sitting on the parachute has not been implemented (yet), and/or
2) the adjustability of the seat height has not been implemented (for this image).

Either way, what a mountain out of a mole hill!

It may be same situation like with 'Rise Of Flight' and 'DCS Black Shark', when 2 sims had to fight for the market.

It looks like new DCS A10 and BoB will have approx the same release date.

And it will be funny to the madness if we will get 'Flight' from Bill at the same time. It is already represented.
Especially if we will remember almost 10 year old story about total fail of the CFS3, and who is responsible for that

"Tucker Hatfield" = CFS3 fail leader

He went over to MSFT after "Red Baron", and somehow sold his way into a complete redo of an otherwise great sim, CFS2.

With all the bickering that goes on over the smallest of details...it makes me wonder if Oleg and crew are feeling "more" pressure to deliver a "near perfect" flight/combat/sim?

It makes me wonder if they decided to push the date (& not worry about) back because they where afraid of the negative reviews over a game that felt "unfinished"? Maybe they feel the community would rather have a game that was "right" as apposed to one that needed to be "patched" to correct a bunch of "little stuff".

Lets face it...at this point expectations are running pretty high, at this point people are expecting to be "impressed" with the final product.

p.s. I hope that no one if offended by my OT ruminations...

That would be a very scitsophrenic and ecstatic time that would need some kind of a vacation but I doubt BOB would let me enjoy A10 that much.

Since i play IL2 only for 2 months i dont know how it is there.

Will there be real steam smoke from the steamtrains in SoW BoB i mean real dynamic smoke?
