Was Oleg Maddox too far ahead of his time?

Luthier did some of translating for Oleg and helped with the Q and A.

Oleg showed us a bit of video and some screen shots of what they had done so far...spitfire cockpit, new weather and clouds...some new features.

Oleg looked very excited about SOW-BOB as it was called, as did everyone who saw the presentation...i know i was.

So yes...23rd November 2002, and it was slated for release in 2006 i think he said, but im not 100% on that.

Thanks, furbs. I didn't realize he had a side room show for BoB/CoD.

What was pretty cool was when Oleg started the Q and A, the first guy to speak said "I dont have a question Oleg, i just want to thank you for making Il2" and everyone just stood up and gave Oleg a round of applause!



I wonder if the same thing would happen with COD?

Do you? do you really wonder? or do you actually wonder how many people that comment will really aggitate?

personally I think if Cod hadn't been binned and further development through BoM etc had continued then yes, absolutely Luthier would have taken big applause in a similar situation.

So was I, and I'm also 100% sure we will never know, hence the reason I asked my question.

Well ok, I suppose it is evident you do miss the obvious quite often so I will have to accept that.
