Thanks Oleg for putting some minds at rest. Obviously most here understand that developing a Flight Sim of this calibre is a great challenge, we know you guys are working hard and doing your best. I hope no one is yet having to sleep under their desk?

P.S

I have told my Wife not to expect to see me much on the Week End of the 25th

... looks like the release will be delayed at least in the USA ...

This is the email an american customer has just received :

"We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on February 05 2011. The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

"IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover"

I imagine that the in-shop (boxed version) release might be a bit later than the download (time taken for printing and shipping to Amazon etc.).

So despite the fact that the man behind the game itself posted a few rows above you that it wouldnt get delayed you keep referring to amazon etc? ....

I ordered the game at Ubisoft Canada, not the boxed version, I couldn't find the boxed version, so the indicated date is for the download version.

The fact that Amazon in the US makes a difference between a release date and an arrival date shows there probably is a mixup here...

he's referring to amazon because Amazon is referring to UBI which is the publisher for 1C... UBI has the last say as to the release date even if 1c has completed development for the 'march release'... UBI could be delaying shipment to the west for marketing reasons... its always a possibility.

Hey Oleg! As I'm sure you know a lot of people already said thanks for the update on release date.

But really, thank you! Or .. Spaziba Спасибо!!

It means alot to the community to stay in touch with the developers, and vice versa!

I have pre-ordered your simulation, and recommended it to every collegue, friend and person I know who is interested in flight simulation. I think I have convinced around 30 people already to keep an eye out for this about 10 have pre-ordered
