Il-2 Sturmovik Battle over Britain very close to release

We do have a special relationship with Oleg because he IS the only one making a sim like this. We, well I at least, want it badly and we have to put up with the fact that it is taking a long time. If anyone else had brought out a comparable sim in the meantime we would probably all be playing it and saying "SoW delayed? So what?" Its a two way street.

My personal bottom line is I am getting fed up waiting for it and I'm not the only one. But we have no choice except to wait.

I think for me its the lack of updates thats most annoying, yeah i know we get some pictures and some video if we are lucky every week, but in truth of late they have been fairly dull. What updates i would like to see is a monthly report from Oleg letting us know where the project is at, maybe an estimated release date or news of a website or some news on what problems they are having, obviously some video footage of 100+ aircraft being attacked would be good but this may well be a long way off. Its Christmas 2010, and we still havent seen the game running properly with mulitiple aircraft, we have no dedicated website and no system specs, hopefully we will see a release next year but it does seem we are still a long way off. Oh and Zapatista, get those shorts of yours in the oven buddy.

Really?

Oleg is the only large budget games developer I have ever come across who
has given dev updates every week for such a long time. Also for such a long
period before release. Remember those pre-pre alpha shots?

With other developers you get a blog post from someone in the PR
department every few months and a promo video without any real content a
few weeks before release.

I think you have been spoilt!
