Those are some very old development shots.

Very old.

I'd actually like to see Oleg make some money on this sim, he's bloody well earned it. (and it's the only way we will get more content too)

Edit: I'm not even sure that everyone here is arguing about the same bloody thing! I don't even think that there is anything to argue about to be honest.

+1

Hopefully he’ll make enough money to keep the sim growing for at least the same amount of time as IL-2. (My sons only 6 at the moment – by the time he’s 12 I doubt I’ll be able to compete so that gives me at least 6 years where he’ll think I’m an ace pilot )

Still it's obvious that at this point of development we will get what we are given by the developers and there is not a lot that we can do about it. The initial release is probably beyond the point of major changes (hopefully???).

It is extremely hard to objectively criticise what we cannot see. And we will not get to see it until it is released and we’ve had a chance to play with it.

Out of 'customer loyalty' (Quite frankly I have enjoyed everything that Oleg and Co has thrown at me since I got Pacific Fighters – I tried the IL-2 Demo when it was first released but my PC was too slow at the time) I will probably buy the game as soon as it is released.

If I get half the enjoyment out of SOW that I’ve got out IL-2 it will be money well spent!

Cheers
