Some of us will definitely find fault with the new sim but I think that all of us will be able to appreciate the advancement made by Oleg and crew in term of flight sim quality. I know that many would have probably been happy with a refresh version of iL2 in terms of graphics... but we are getting more then that...
I really hope that 1C sells a new plane avery 2 months or so. That would be a great way for them to maximise revenues. Just produce a pay for addon every two months with a new plane. That way we get new planes and 1C gets more revenues... we all win... I know some will argue that paying $20-$30 us per plane is insame, but I see it more as a way to keep this genre alive. Also if 1C was smart about it (and I beleive Oleg is) he would licence the right to sell planes to 3rd party. The way I see it, 1C give strick guideline to follow, a third party submits the planes to 1C if accepted it goes on sales for a given price (law of supply and demand (plane that are more in demands should get more $$$) and 1C gets a % of all sales... voila extra revenues... No work required... just for giving a 3rd party the opportunity to make money using the BOB-SOW trademark... This way you motivate the 3rd parties and 1C makes more revenues. I really hope that Oleg does not pass on this opportunity to make more $$$ and gives a free ride to everybody like he did with iL2. Regards, |

In FSX sell planes works because it isnt a combat sim and gameplay is not damaged if a Flight Modelm is not programed with accuracy. There is no competitors, the only important thing to do is only fly, nobody is interested in planes performances at all.not

Who could get bored with the Battle of Britain? Flying in at altitude in your Me 109e, depending how far you fly in you have between twenty and ten minutes combat time before you must break for home
![]() Awesome stuff. Flying ADW I sometimes spend ten to twenty minutes stalking my prey... Every minute is worth it as you dive down and squeeze the trigger. But thats me! Yes others will scream for more but like most I believe with the italian planeset already in SOW BoB a mediteranian campaign/added on will come very quickly. My guess is shortly after that will be operation barbarosa, early Eastern front and Finnish winter war. Planeset will not have changed much from BoB, just newer spits and the early Russian stuff in barbarosa and the F series Me 109 for the huns. As Oleg himself said he will open up the game to modders (only smaller maps from the begining) and only keep the bigger maps for SOW add-ons. I expect them to turn out an add-on a year. Add to that the Korean project working forward and a possible WW1 working forward as well and we are in for a hell of a ride. So maybe those that will be bored are those that really don't deserve SOW, but then they never hang around long anyway. |

Well Oleg did make some cryptic comment somewhere about after SOW there would be a theater not yet covered. But .. no guarantees .. be sure.
