I am in know way suggesting ROF is near completion, but it is a lot further along it would seem than SOW in some aspects.

The ROF developers have stated that the AI will be able to see thru the clouds but they hope to address that situation in the future.

The ROF development is ahead of the SOW development by probably more than a few months. ROF may be released before the summer, but we all know how those things go. I'm looking forward to flying ROF for a few months before SOW comes out. It will help pass the time. OFF3 is OK but it doesn't like my MSFF2 joystick and turns it into a wet noodle.

I’m not sure if anyone has raised this point, but, given were going to get a dynamic weather system in BoB, this will lead to the possibility that winds will change during the course of a mission.

How will the information about wind directions and speeds be related to us so we can takeoff land on the correct runways (taking cross wind components etc) at our destination. Will we be able to call up the tower or will we have to over fly the airfield and keep and eye out for the wind sock?

Hopefully there will be a more accurate representation of traffic control. Hmmm! Being red green colour blind I hope they don’t use flares to wave us off!

Will this info be given to us in our pre-flight briefings so we can use it to plan our routes?

Nice question, pity we have seen nothing that indicates SOW is anywhere near this point in production. Air traffic control will I am sure be modeled and I am sure windsocks will be fluttering on fields as well.

Can we have an ETA on the SOW website please Oleg or will it be another case of hopefully some time this year?

Oh my...
Ah talk to the flight sim god forum.


I would like to know if the Il-2 saga is over with the Il-2 1946 or if there will be more updates and add-ons.
There is still some things I miss,like North Africa theater,the invasion of France and Poland campaign,flyable french planes and italian bombers.

The IL2 saga is over with 1946. It was said a lot of times : the last official update we may get is the 4.09m version of the game (there is yet an official beta).

SOW website anyone?
