I'll hang at the AAA for awhile, something is happening there now. Just maybe, that is the reason for the long delayed release of SOW

i had a look again at the BoB preview addon cd that came with 1946 on the WE, i think the video was intended as an alpha stage "teaser" but it gives a good idea of the level of progress made at that time. the video was released at the end of 2006 iirc, and by all indications at that point their development team was still in full swing to try and get BoB out the door soon and they were making good progress. early screenshots of BoB work in progress were even posted as early as dec 2005 (see this thread for a good summary of all earlier screenshots posted on BoB work by olegs crew http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/...4/m/4641029783). we had further indications progress was still continuing in late 2006 that oleg was promoting BoB previews at a couple of aviation/game fairs (remember the old puma video interview with oleg).
after that there was a long long period of total silence, completely unexplained, and the removal of olegs room at ubi in oct 2007 the !C il2 forum was opened, and on 10-15-2007 oleg showed signs of life again, and posted here Quote:

we then once a month for 3 or 4 months get a few aircraft WIP screenshots and oleg answering some questions (great, news at last and signs it is still being worked on !). the answers given are however very general and indicate a lot of issues are still undecided and open ended, almost as you would have expected from a sim still in alpha stage, but this is now more then 2 years after we already had extensive alpha previews from his older interviews, and the "1946 cd addon video" previewing BoB. the screenshots posted in 2008 are also still only a few closups of WiP aircraft with generic blue backgrounds (yes nice looking aircarft, i aint complaining about them, why you'd want to be working on obscure italian aircraft in a way overdue BoB sim is another question). then without reason again total silence from feb 2008 for 3 months and our active forum moderator disappears at the same time. we then get sudden news from 3e party sources that il2 is about to be released for consoles, and the preview press release specifically mentions the BoB era, and shows BoB scenery that is very similar to olegs nov 2006 preview video. the sim also is very advanced and has a release date and preview video's and press reviews. predictably pandemonium breaks out in the main il2 forums and long term oleg supporters start jumping out of windows. a couple of brief post from oleg then follow attempting to reassure some of the fans there is still a BoB pc sim in the works, but the only new screenshots posted at the same time to indicate "work is proceeding as usual" are again only a few WiP closeups from aircraft with blue background screens (indicating they are 3D models in a graphic editor program, not a near finished object flying in a 3D world), worse, those models arnt even WiP from olegs team himself but are made by another group working on their own sim project (yes, we'll all be happy with the new korean sim, dont get me wrong). in a worst case scenario, those same aircraft models could even be used for the console games and might have nothing to do with the pc project we are waiting for. now again almost 3 months of total silence and no signs of life or "New constant BoB development " forgive some of us for being slightly skeptical the pc project is proceeding at a normal pace and is still on track, or that some of us now doubt it will happen at all.

Words..., any evidences for progress (or just blue screens and 3D models)?
Everybody are tired, everybody want to fly new sim. I wish Oleg all the best, but I am hopless in this case. Just that. Sorry. The worst thing is that probably many of the 3D models were design for this console bloody thing, not for PC sim. Maybe not at the begining, but later. I think that the idea of SoW: BOB evolved to the console game becouse of many reasons. That is it. Please make me change my mind, please.

Oleg doesn't post here any more because he gets the same reception that he used to get in ORR. Doesn't suprise me and I don't blame him.

Even 2 years to develop a bespoke physics and graphics engine, associated developers tools and populating that with models and enviroments is extremely ambitious and takes a team in excess of 100 experianced staff. I can say that with some experiance. Quote:

It does not matter for me.
I want clear and official information WHEN will it be published! Can you answer? Convince me! Show me the movie, show me the the printscreens, give me the sound of engine, give me alpha testing comments, show me ... As Cuba Gooding Jr. - "Show me the money!!!" (Jerry Maguire). I want to feel that it's coming!!! Nothing more. Last edited by 1.APU_Hubal; 08-12-2008 at 12:50 PM.
