Once again... what we had with IL2 was truly unique, but you are forgetting most important part, such dialog between developers and community is only possible with participation and blessing from the publishers. No developer under obligations of the contract will step forward and start advertising his product... I am afraid this is the one part that is missing.

Other thoughts...IL2 took 4 years to develop, before initial release, maybe more then that.... I think it started in 1997 and saw the day light in 2001. SOW is by far more complex and advanced in all areas, things that use to take couple of weeks, now take several months...You cannot really compare the two. Bottom line is, Nobody in the know (and i said that before) ever gave you any concrete ETA for SOW. There were speculations and some rather silly anouncements, but nothing more. Oleg did say that they are trying to meet some dates, but he never said that he will. And once again, let the console game go already, has nothing to do with Maddox. 1c licensed out IL2 engine and other team completed it, yea Oleg tried it, gave them his opinion and that`s that. Why you folks keep bringing that up? How many times it needs to be said...those are not SOW objects, it is not MG work... i mean, come on!!
