Here I disagree . SOW it’ll be an entirely new game, of a completely different class. Much can be done to refine Il2, but, like you, I’ll be happy of any improvement Daidalus will do.

One thing i cannot understand is this, if we do get the 4.09 patch which we assume is going to be free then who is paying the staff at Daidalus? Surely they aren't doing it for the love of the sim, especially when SOW is allegedly knocking on the door. Of course if they are doing the 4.09 patch and then hope to release paid add ons later then they must know something about SOW that we dont otherwise it would be financial suicide to get involved in a project that is soon to be superceeded. So the big question is, who is financially supporting Daidalus?

Noone.
And yes,we're doing it because of "the love to this sim".

I don't know where from you people are managing to dig up such yellow news.

I take it your part of the Daidalus team? Oleg has already stated that you have worked on the project for 8 months + 2 months testing and you plan to continue support with free add-ons after 4.09. I'm sorry but that really doesn't make sense to me, surely its a conflict of interests unless of course SOW is a lot further off than we already feared. If what you say is true, then big respect for spending 10 months of solid work for nothing, you should become a modder! Unless of course you already are?

sorry, i can´t help it but i think your posts are sounding so negative.
It seems that your glass is always half empty and not half full.
One doesn´t have to search a worm in every apple.
Why can´t you be as content as the majority here and enjoy the possibility of the soon coming 4.09 final?

think positive!

Because Tree needs to find a reason for SOW being cancelled.


He lives for that outcome it seems.

So, your answer to my question is that i live for SOW being cancelled.
Well I have devastating news for you ElAurens, 'The World is round'!.

My glass is fine thanks buddy, now releax guys, this is a forum its primary function is to ask questions and share news etc, I have done just that, the question i have asked is a little awkward i grant you that but that does not make an unvalid one. If i am way off track i'm sure somebody in the know will point me in the right direction. There must be someone else here who 'thinks outside the box' , i'm sure i am am not alone. The question still stands.

If I understand, you are suggesting that Daidalus people are gambling on SOW failure to sell other add-ons for Il2. In my opinion it is highly improbable.
I see other three possibilities:
1) Someone is paying Daidalus people’s work, and only time will tell if it’s good or bad business.
2) Nobody is paying them, and they are people willing to work for free to keep going a game that has exhausted its commercial value, a thing already happened for Red Baron, to cite a case.
3) Daidalus and 1C have reached an agreement which is entirely their business.

No i am not suggesting anything of the sort, i am merely stating that it seems very odd for daidalus to be working for nothing on a project that is going to be superceeded next year by SOW, surely it is a conflict of interest for IL2 to have continued development when Oleg is allegedly about to release SOW. Obviously i have hit a nerve somewhere because Bulgarian is threatening to have me banned, good luck with that one.
