The news about RRG from Oleg

If then 1C will be working history from BoB forward and RRG from Korea backwards they will together be able to cover the whole era in a relative short period of time. I sincerely hope that this is the intention.

Hi Viking

You post confuses me

The title is "News from Oleg", but you end with "your two cents"

I can't tell if this is your opinions, or what. can you clarify

Its an interesting idea for RRG to work their way back from Korea, but there has never been a hint of this happening. I'm sure RRG will definitely do something further with the SOW engine after Korea is done, if there is monies to be made. This will depend on sales and how effective the security is to stop it being put all over the net for free.

I think people aren't interested in BoB because it's a tired concept that's been done many many times, ad nauseum.

the interest in "BoB SoW" is in the "new game" engine as well as the "BoB"...as far as I'm concerned the "BoB" is as good a place as any to start the new series...I have a feeling that their are going to be so many new aspects to "game play" (with the new engine) that we will have fun exploring the new "IL2 universe" for a few months...

But if thats still not enough for you, don't fear...I have a feeling that the "add-ons" and "up-dates" will come fast and furious once the "basic engine and game is out"

...I have a feeling we will be seeing the "BoB" in a whole new way.

As long as everyone is speculating, I'd love to see an add on of the air war in China before the arrival of the AVG.

So may different aircraft types on both sides.

From Curtiss, to Fiat, to Nakajima.

Biplanes vs. early monoplanes.

It would be amazing.

Could not disagree more as Im as excited for SoW as any Brit I would imagine although Im extremely excited for the Korean sim and have been since it was rumored.

Im American btw.

S!

I think those in this forum have a more general approach to flight simming, and would be interested in anything that involved flight, from one end of the globe to the other.

However, I think that a more "random" person will be more interested in a conflict that he has direct contact with, through his country, his relatives, his schooling, whatever, than another conflict. Once he's hooked on flight, he might fly anything, but what will make him pick up that box in the first place? Will it be a picture of the famous p51 (maybe he's seen a real model somewhere) or a more obscure chinese model?

Even within the flight community, the servers are an interesting demographic. (note: this is by no means a hard and fast rule, I fly all theaters and I know many others do). Let's take the "full switch" servers, purely because that's what I know. The western crowd flies... the Warbird servers, both western in nature, and Warclouds, western front. Many Russian servers see the light of day, mostly about the eastern front. G1 (G2 being about the Pacific), ADW, NullWar, the WarForFields that I fly on is ETO and populated mostly by Russian pilots, etc.

There are obvioulsy many exceptions, but on a general level, that is a trend that I see.

It's not right (or clever) to see a whole country in terms of the vocal nationalist few, but to think that all interests span all fronts is naive. People in America will have more of a connection with an American war, and that helps. It all depends how much that matters. For the older pilots who've been flying for a while, the flying might matter much more, but that is not the case for everyone. Maybe a young man (or woman) who has talked to a relative who owns an American built plane, or heard stories from WWII from a relative, or seen an American movie about American pilots or some such, might hold a particular interests in the events that he has had contact with, using the planes he has heard of, in the battles he's learned about. That's only natural. Let's not blind ourselves, much as we'd like it to be only about flight. Oleg still has numbers to consider.

That said, the more areas that are explored, the better. My interests lies more with the early war stuff, like the Spanish Civil War or the Battle for France, but I'll buy anything with a good flight model. I'm eagerly awaiting KOTS, BOB, RRG's sim, Black Shark, Fighter Ops, etc.
