+1, 2013 at the earliest.

There is still a chance that a publisher forces it out in 2012 in an unfinished state because economic crises which influenced CloD release is not over yet. Is it good or bad? I think it is still better than closing MG like MS did with their MSFS studio once.

We can only hope that Euro and USD do not collapse before we have the game engine in more or less working condition. The rest can be done by modders in the long run.

2013? ....wow that actually a generous estimate from the whinge massive.

the BOM engine will be the same one that a patched COD will use......won't it? if it was a whole new engine surely it couldn't be merged (I am talking as a complete layman I know)
so really all they are working on should be the game content....3D models, maps etc.....not a whole game from scratch.....surely? and that surely 'must' happen within this year.

You are a dreamer.....

Well probably the area that will take the longest is the models specifically the cockpits I am still mesmerised by how good they are, hopefully they will one day be fully functional so we have to do realistic engine start ups.

if to put out early in an unfinished state mean like CoD, and again start to pray them for a patch and thanks everytime they will give a new info like now? I pass, MG can close and Ilya can find a new job in my opinion, i don't care...

They would have to find someone to bankroll them in the meantime. Imagine giving another 8 million to MG based on their last efforts (!)

2013 sounds like a reasonable timeframe for a reasonably polished product. Although I'm thinking circumstances will instead demand a somewhat half-arsed product for 2012, with a lolly scramble to plug the gaps in 2013.

IMHO, this is pure economics...Even if they fix COD , they will have to give for free the patches, the hotfixes and all the new features promised in the initial release....We did buy un unfinnished product...
But by putting all their efforts on a new game rather than the planned Add-On( whatever theater) based on what was done on COD, and sell it as a new sim, they will be able to get some new fresh money. New release at Xmas 2012 makes sense then....
Then, after, maybe, they will retrofit some of the new features in COD.
Its the only sensitive way to go....

Salute !
