Just FYI, SOW is not dead

That's what you get, when somebody fell asleep on his Tarzan-Comic again.

Xtreme low level flying here?

I guess they'll stall and hit the deck soon....

We can only hope.

And back to the topic of this thread

Feuerfalke I think you are right, but it still does not answer why the updates has been so erratic in coming forward.

It is also curious that we have had two long waits for updates and when asked when they would appear, the answer was that they would be given within one week. This gives me the notion, that asking for updates will weald a result (offcourse within reason) And the key is also asking not demanding

I can understand that the Maddox team is working so hard, that they forget the updates and forum members. This also makes the erratic posting from them understandable..

They do not forget. And repeated asking does not insure answers. Oleg's dedication to the community does and if at all, the tone in this forum is rather contra-productive. Remember, for each wrong statement they made hoping to be able to give us something, further increases this bad behavior, thus of course makes it harder to decide to post any further statements.

My guess is, that Oleg posted this here, because it's older stuff and because it's non-relevant in terms of determining how detailed and complex BoB will really be.

Just my humble opinion.

Whoever has developed anything in a competitive environment knows that information of own and for competitors' products is vital.
For example, you may have a wonderful product, i.e. original IL-2, and luck of ideas for good campaigns. And all of a sudden you hear about BoB's campaign system and you find the "key" to complete your product and move forward, far away from any competitor.
We all get the idea, right?

I think this is the only reason we don't hear much about SoW:BoB and why not many people have access to this privileged information.
And unless we are close to late-beta, I wouldn't expect more information, not because it's difficult for Oleg and his team to give it, but rather because this would endanger the whole project and would leave it vulnerable to being copied by competitors.

Do I want SoW:BoB soonest possible? Heck yes!
Would I risk its succession just to get it earlier? Heck no!

Just my humble opinion.

I agree Dolphin, i think the lack of info/updates tells us that the finished product is a long long way off.
