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.

TheSwede 04-08-2011 12:25 PM

Good to hear from you Oleg!

I have full confident for the team of 1C and their quest for perfection.

Tvrdi 04-08-2011 12:25 PM

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.

JG52Uther 04-08-2011 12:31 PM

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.

Screamadelica 04-08-2011 12:35 PM

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.:)

You da man, Oleg Maddox. We old IL2 players support you and Luthier. Sadly we are not those who can make a difference here.

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.

Sure i'm not happy at all, i'm very pessimistic about CoD future development, i'm not very good at English.........
....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.....

Insuber 04-08-2011 02:20 PM

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,

I trust Oleg still has a stake in MG/1C as it seems he is out of the operational side:).

Of course not, it's just that over the last 10 or so years he has done more than many other people to advance the genre of Combat flight simulators.

If it wasn't for him we'ld still be playing Combat Flight Sim.

He deserves our thanks for than much at least.

Cheers!

Imagine a full-on war simulation with high AI aircraft, vehicles, artillery, ships and human units. The current IL-2 way of simulation would be a good platform to advance in that direction. Just way off dreaming :)

It's still able to surface and do some more attack runs ;)

Necrobaron 04-08-2011 08:30 PM

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.

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.

It is hilarious, I don't think it's mocking anyone's language skills really (after all the guy is an actor). All languages are different, and non of us are capable of making the sounds need for all other languages. In English one of the sounds non native speakers struggle with it 'th', and making a joke about that is hardly offensive.

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.

MD_Wild_Weasel 04-09-2011 09:08 AM

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:

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.

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!

GloDark7 05-21-2011 10:56 AM

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...

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.
