Small word from Oleg Maddox
Hi all,
1. I don't think that CoD is thinking ship even if I would left completely. 2. Guys working hard to solve different things in a code. 3. Soon will be patch. Hope today, but not sure. There should be major first fixes for the microfrizes. Then in time will be big patch and as usual in the past with Il-2 series releases who still remeber it - with some new content I think. Maybe in a month or so. At least I think so. 4. I'm not in vacation. Yes,, I plan completely new things. Including in simulation. thats all for now. I will tell more when I will be ready, or you allwill hear it by other channels, becasue I now can't spend so much time for readiung forums like in the past.. Be sure all posts with normal input of bugs without histeria development team is reading and put it in the list, if they are real bugs. |
Good to hear from you Oleg!
I have full confident for the team of 1C and their quest for perfection. |
all I want to say is - fingers crossed....

presume this mean I dont' think that CoD is a sinking ship even if i would have left completely. and in response "we dont think CoD is a sinking ship either!" we are just all very very passionate about it and your work. he is very correct to,all this hysteria which i admit ive contributed to does need to stop and if we focus then the developers at 1C can focus. so lets focus !. Oled is one of a few folks that has set the wheels in motion for this sim/series to exist. his place lies elsewhere and that can only mean good things for the simulation base. Besides this is his baby, you might not hear from him much but im sure he will be wandering the web waves and indirectly he may always be a part of this sim series. |
I don't want to put words in Olegs mouth but I would guess it means:
Even if Oleg has left CoD is not a sinking ship! Thanks Oleg for your post,I hope things work out for you. |

I think a thinking ship is meant to be a sinking ship. In other words, have faith in the team that have done so much in the past to make the IL2 series the great game that it still is today. Thanks Oleg, hope all is well. The faithful are still here.:)

Reminds me of the commercial of a German coastguard who doesn't speak and understand English very well. Emergency call: "Help, we are sinking!! We are sinking!! German Coastguard: "What are you...thinking about?? Here is the commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZz0PlLY69g |
That IL2 is not dead even if Oleg left for good.
And good to here from you Oleg. Thanks for the info. Hope the guys get things sorted out soon. And wish you luck with your new job, whatever it may be. |

I remember all of it Oleg, all the way back to the blue-byte forum updates.;) Those days I would be sooo happy just to see a screenshot of a MiG-3.

You plan to do new or other sort of simulation? |
Glad to see you're still around Oleg!

Sinking? Sinked.....

- your are not happy - You are pessimistic like hell - you are not very good at English... Nice performance! :-) JV |
I think he meant "stinking Ship" obviously he was playing "dutch ovens" :grin:
Good to hear he's getting into a new sim, with the model quality in COD, must be something excellent! He111. |
eeeh...
why did you connect german coast guard to a nazi-lol. I think it's inappropriate |

Tell the team that this time there is much communication with endusers needed. Please, just keep letting us know that bugs are being worked on. We know you`ll get the results you need. |

....but...sure i'm not a fanboy who said to Oleg "Hooooo, is wonderfull, thank, is superb, is amazing".. So, for me this CoD is almost sunk. We'll see in the future, but for now..... |

As an old Il2 player (2001), speaking for myself, i just say: all our sympathy to the poor hard working guys, but 1C must give me hard facts, not just the enslavement of a handful of unlucky programmers.
My Trust-o-meter shows a big red flashing light atm. Good luck, Insuber |

I think it's not. |

New flight sim? New Company? I trust Oleg still has a stake in MG/1C as it seems he is out of the operational side:). Best wishes Oleg for the "new things" and please keep us updated! |
Quote:
If it wasn't for him we'ld still be playing Combat Flight Sim. He deserves our thanks for than much at least. Cheers! |
Thank you Oleg, we are looking forward to new patches. S!
|
Well, that's life!
I will take this as a first official announcement of Oleg's "retirement" from Clod and all I can say is Thank you Oleg for all that you've given to our community in all these years! You are, by far, the most important person in Combat Flight Sims community! |

Thank you Oleg,I knew you just would'nt abandon us,and it is really great to hear from the Guru himself.I for one truly appreciate you're superb sim,it will be the sim we dreamed of,that I'm sure of.
|
Thank you for everything, Oleg, and good luck, whatever you'll gonna do and wherever you'll gonna go.
Salutes! |

In Oleg we trust. Oleg is our Savior, he speaks through his son Luthier....
Guys, really, get a grip, you sound like total fanatics ! |

Oleg,
Good to hear from an old friend. God bless you and your family. |
Oleg: thank you for IL-2 1946, good luck in all your other projects
|
|
Nice to know, unluckily some doesn't get the fact that a grown up person that worked years to our advantage doesn't deserve mocking for an obviously hurry message.

It's still able to surface and do some more attack runs ;) |
Please correct me if I'm wrong since I've been a bit fuzzy on the details of the last few weeks.
Is Ilya (Luthier) taking over the reins of CoD as Oleg moves on to other things (which still include simulations apparently)? Is Oleg's active participation in the IL-2 series winding down? I know there was a commotion a few weeks ago claiming that Oleg was "leaving" but I never really understood what was happening or what the current situation is. |

But wow, that's hilarious :D No offense :) |
Theres a imense work to do and we all know, the best and fast way to help to fix the problems is open the software, so 1C will leading a huge world community, working for pleasure, with impressive results like we see in IL-2 1956 after modded.
|
Is Oleg related to Obama?:grin:
Sinking ship, that's an understatement...CoD is more like........ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...n888/after.jpg :( |
Dear Mr Maddox I hope you've managed to develop the ability to shrug off the vitriol associated with pretty much any entertainment software release, I've been enjoying your work for 10 years and hope to enjoy it for another 10. You're a legend and you deserve more leeway considering how well you've treated us over the last decade.
|
I've seen that commercial so much, I knew exactly what Oleg meant.

Anyway, on topic for a second: Oleg, you're a star, good job so far on CoD and I hope the team gets it to a state you're proud of asap. |
Good bye Oleg, Long time il2 fan. pacific fighters(2006?)~ present. Thankyou for all your hard work over the years. It has been money well spent. May you and your family live long and well. You have the whole of the il2 communities respect and grattitude
And sign my bloody guest book! PLEASE! LOL:grin: http://www.mightydemons.com/hq/ Best regards Md_Wild_Weasel |

I consider laughing at Oleg’s English stupid and childish. Those people should try to write in Russian!
I consider no less childish all the ranting about CoD being a failure. It has technical problem, true, as it was true in the early days of good old Il2. But Maddox Games is a company that demonstrated its ability to solve problems, and to give sustained support to their sim through the years, with continuous expansions and improvements that keep today Il2 still enjoyable. Such a good reputation deserves to be respected. Thank you, Oleg and all the people working on CoD. |

Happy Trails
Thanks for all your hard work Oleg. Il-2 renewed my enthusiasm for flight sims after a hiatus of many years.
Best of luck with all your endeavors. |
Thank you Oleg for having destroyed my social life in the last 10 years! ;)
Joking... but not too much I'm afraid... Cheers Rick |
Rock star
Face it Oleg! You're just a ROCK STAR!!!! :grin: Good to see you're still around.
|
Thanks Oleg!
|
The post-Oleg era won't be the same as the pre-Oleg era although I know that the sim is in good hands. However I understand that one has to move on to new things after more than 10 years doing one stuff.
Thank you for both awesome simulations which likely would have never seen light without your vision. I still hope that you don't drop out completely and if it was on a different level than now. Good luck and success with your new projects. I am sure they will be as awesome as both IL2s. |
Thank You Oleg for Your hard work, here from Hungary! :) I play IL2 since the beginning, i have buyed all of the episodes till CoD, and i'm very happy about it! It's simply amazing, and bought so much enjoyment to me through the years! Noone ewer will match these quality and standard!

This thread is too funny to let it 'think' to the bottom of the forum :D :mrgreen:
|
Just remember it was Ilya that gave us Il-2: Pacific Fighters. That is after Oleg had to bail him out of the mess it was.

PLease oleg stay in simulation bussines and give us sim you always wanted to make and sell it digitally without XXXXbi straight to your fans like ED a ROF team do. I am sure youll get the reward.

It's understandable to decide to try something new and different after very many years. Quite another to decide you've had enough when the project you've been working on for the last 6 years is near completion :confused:
I guess we'll never know the real story behind Oleg's disillusionment. What ever the story is, things just don't sit well at the moment... |
Quote:
|
You know, he still visits his youtube channel, and he has posted Tinus' brilliant Defiant video within the last week...
so I don't think he is completely detached. But I could never really understand his message at the start of this topic, so it's hard to tell if he has left the project, or if he is having a break, or if he is working towards something new entirely. |
From:
xiotis1 Junior Member "I don't think that CoD is thinking ship even if I would left completely." What does that mean? __________________________________________________ _____________ ! rofl ! :lol: |
....mmmuahahahaaa !!!
:lol: my belly hurts from laughing, this is the funniest thread I have read here so far, honestly! thanks to all, starting with Oleg :grin: |
Maybe Oleg is leaving the company? That's bad news... This doesn't feel right...
Whatever Oleg is gonne do, i wish all him all the best! Kind regards, DBCooper |
Hello all,
