I was a little inquire into term and the time needed for the game development. I do not know whether it is true, that Oleg developed IL-2 for about 10 years. Something tells me that a eliminate the bug's still take a long time. At best, we can expect SOW BFB for Christmas next year.

I will be very surprised if it will happen before.

Seems a bit excessive. I remember 4 years being mentioned somewhere, which seems more reasonable.

There's a lot of talk about a supposed huge number of bugs that still need to be fixed, but I have no clue where this is coming from. Certainly not from the devs. Anyway, as explained above already, currently the publisher aims for a release in spring.

In fact, IL-2 is the law for me , unfortunately, is not optimized with multi-core processors, which is understandable according to the age of the game..

I guess you mean multithreading? Any game can profit from multiple cores, if you run an adequate OS like Vista or Win7.

Not true. Many programs force the use of one core.
IL2 appears to use two of my four cores when I graph it.

Publisher aims for a release in Spring?? Which publisher would that be then? Theres no chance of a spring release, I would say we would be very lucky if we got it by next September.
