As far as we know UBI is still the puplisher of SOW so it won't be IC's game to display at Liepzig.

As far as we know UBI is still the publisher of SOW ...in the west... so it won't be IC's game to display at Liepzig


I thought 1C is the Russian publisher?

Isn't it strange that at this supposed late stage we don't even have confirmation of the publishers of SoW?

Hearsay yes,confirmation by somebody from 1C,no.

Yes JG52Uther...I think your right...but Liepzig isn't in Russia. I think the line might be drawn between Western and Eastern Europe, but not sure. I doubt IC can advertize games in UBI territory, and SOW is not likely to be out at the end of the year if UBI doesn't advertise it Liepzig.

edit...doh...why would IC advertise a game that can't sell in Western Europe.

And why wouldn't 1C advertise a game they CAN sell in Eastern Europe?

I think the obvious answer is that the game is a looooong way off. I still think i am closest with a 2010 release date.

Liepzig is in Germany not Russia and probably part of the UBI publishing/advertising/ distribution area. IC probably only has distribution/publishing/advertising in Russia.

As far as i remember, I think it was said years ago, Oleg is an ex Russian Military Aeronautical Engineer, if thats true, then thats why he takes pride in is accuracy of FMs, which of course takes time for perfection. So i dont doubt for a minute that he would do a poor console port to pc, or anything else that would tarnish his immaculate reputation.
Take a look at the amount of time he spent between updates, 3 months, but the post is short, and he didnt appologise for that. That in itself tells me he is working his balls off, and is feeling, like any scientific person, that he's owed a little respect for his pain. im sure he will be back with another update soon. I can imagine there are many issues to organise, such as, will UBI be the publisher, what security mechanisms are required.

On the other hand, One thing the community and modders need to be aware of, is the fact that if these modders insist on being incontent and disrespectful by cracking his software, and alterring it, changing sounds etc... then its hardly surprising Oleg would be angry, and more than likely decide to screw the community, as the community screwed him by messing with his product. So, you get a little PSP or Nintendo Wii version of IL2 next, and you can use a wii wand instead of a HOTAS. How you like that?

Also, there are 2-3 other flight sims being released (probably) in the next 6-9 months. Whether there is some strategy hes employing as to timely release, we wont know till it happens i guess.
