What disappoints me is the lack of communication on the 'Official' forum :(

Have you found that statement yet?

It is interesting how the UBi Zoo carries on with no news for ages, except second hand information that is posted here first. The game is still available for sale all over the world, so there will always be newbs getting into the IL2.

The collaboration between the Oleg and UbiSoft may be tentative or non existent at this point for all I know.

Regardless, those of us loyal to the author and not the distributor are on this boards.

Oleg, has been good out about responding every month or so. The postings he makes are better than anything I've read on ORR in years. Oleg is available to us on these boards and one a month or once every couple months he responds, which is fine with me. We know there is progress being made.

As far as being disappointed with UbiSoft... Ubisoft has their own band with their own instruments and they aren't interested in playing our songs.

I am still waiting for Feuerfalke to show me this statement that Oleg made. Feuerfalke seems to know most things in here, i really hope he hasn't fallen on his sword on this one.

I'm also sorry to hear that your search-button doesn't work. In your names I reported it as a bug to the forum moderators. You know I'm always willing to help.

Well, as I posted before, I've posted links to these sort of statements a couple of times before. On the funny side, it took me 3 seconds with my working search-function to find at least one of the threads. There was another statement in an interview, but you wouldn't read or care anyway, so I save my life-time to post that link - 3 seconds wasted for you kiddies was enough IMHO:

"Ubisoft has all the rights for IL-2 Sturmovik series. They are the publisher of these games outside of Russia, CIS countries and baltic states... The release dates depend on our Western partners and their plans, so sometimes we can't give an exact answer to this question."

It's about the deal with the new publishers BTW. As you all know, because you are such wise men and so well informed grown-up forum members, updates on SoW stopped just a few days prior to the announcement that all new titles will be published by other companies, except for IL2 and SoW, as there was an existing deal with UBISOFT before. Of course for some of us this fact is either completely ignored or simply a case of odd coincidence....

Please, don't act as an offical spokesman of 1C, Feaurfalke. It really makes me sick.

If you are angry with 1C you might find it enlightening to look into the history of ubisoft with Il2 and the problems they have caused for this game over the past 6 or 7 years.

Awe, come on, Galway. It's sooooo much easier to flame a single person instead of such an abstract thing like as a company! You don't even need to think about what is going on, when you can flame a single forum member, who keeps quoting those statements. Just look at the responses to my post. Nobody even cares what was stated there, just everybody blows skyhigh, because I posted that link. LOL. It changes nothing. They just want to bash somebody because they act like little children, who want candy NOW and it takes a lot more than that to see that there is more to it, than bad ole Oleg torturing his customers, who really, really, really deserve that information, because they just want it soooo much.

What surprises me, though, is the fact that MysticPuma himself is falling back in age to a point where he can't make up his own mind any longer. A man who saw a lot more of BoB than most of us, who talked to Oleg PERSONALLY and quoted him, that there would be news, as soon as they COULD post news and UBISOFT finally decided to officially announce the title. That's what really surprises me about it.

The other statements about the problems with releasing infos (from Oleg, too) are in the OMR-Sticky, btw. IIRC it's just around the point where Oleg quoted me and agreed with me, that the forums really DO have much in common with him driving in his car, his children on the back seat...

And JFYI 1C forums is only the official forum for 1C, not for MG. As you can see in the forum description, this forum is even just for IL2, not for BoB. And some other interesting news about the comparison of BoP and BoB that was stated wrongly again and again: BoP is not published by UBISOFT, but by 1C and Dynamic Systems. Another engine, another contract, another story completely.

False promises, as always.

Me too. I'm so tired of seeing every bloody thread polluted by his boorish commentary. I think I'll take a break from this forum for a while....
