What disappoints me is the lack of communication on the 'Official' forum :(

I agree there will always be disappointed people no matter how good SOW turns out to be. I've always been able to see the good points and accept the lesser points. I'm not talented enough to do a better job and rely on groups like MG for my simming enjoyment.

I honestly understand the frustration from the community. We all want this sim released and barring any news of said release then some info would be nice to have.

I recognise many of you from around the forums, and I dare say most of us have been here since the early days of IL2 and FB. That being the case, how many of us remember patches being 'released' earlier than expected? Someone got the 'beta' code of the patch and made it availible to the masses before it was finalized. I still remember the hooplah over the FMs in 4.01 unofficial verses 4.01 official. This happened on every patch released. Who released the unofficial patches early? IDK.

We can speculate all we want on the relation with 1C and UBI, but I'm not sure anything is in stone, nor can be clarified beyond what we've read prior, but potentially that's another obstacle in availible information to us forum members.

With computer games being copied and illegally distributed, with a new game engine needing to be protected from the competition, and possibly legal ramifications of plane names and copyright, there are issues that require a sense of delicacy in what is revealed or not revealed.

I highly doubt anyone at 1C/Maddox is keeping information from us so he can form bad customer relations. He knows we're excited and chomping at the bit for any scrap of useful info. Then again there may be nothing new to release to us. As much as I enjoy and am happy to get pictures of planes, I'd rather have something with more meat to Oleg's released info.

There may be more going on than we realize, and his interests and relations with his associations need to be maintained.

Unfornutaly what i would like to see modeled its quite impossible to simulate in a reliable way. Im saying about g effects at higher acellerations. I think that generally combat sims favorizes turning combats and aircraft with better turning ratio due to lack of g and higher acelleration effects.

[robtek]

i think the g´s will be simulated in form of black or red outs as they are in il2 already.
what i hope is, that in planes who have a less than perfect seat/body position (like spit and hurri, compared to 109 and 190) those effects are stronger.

I think you are all thinking inside the box.

I don't think Oleg is.

I firmly believe that once SOW is released, that FB/PF/1946 will be forgotten in less than a year, all mods and US Navy fanbois not withstanding.

Respectfully, I must disagree.
Sure, I expect great things from SOW:BoB, but it will be some time before any other addons( theatres ) show up.

So when I have a yen to fly
Late War ( anything after 1941 really )
Eastern Front
Pacific
Med
you can be sure I'll be strapping on the trusty 1946.

and as further theatres get released for SOW, the times I fire up IL2 will diminish. But it wont be within one year, be sure !
