Of course it's no harm asking when it's ready, but it's rather pointless, me thinks.
Just like kids on the backseat: are we there yet?

Why is it pointless? Really? People have spent the last 2 months on this forum arguing about the current situation with this sim and about when we can expect to see it. With the greatest respect I really can't see why some people are getting so worked up about asking Oleg for information.

Your point seems to be that it won't make the game come out any faster. I agree. But that was never the reason for asking. It's solely a request for information. Are you people really saying that you're not interested?? or are you just affecting cool indifference?

Feuerfalke, it's not a sign of disrespect to Oleg. Obviously this is a MUCH bigger deal for the developers than for any of us. No-one is being disrespectful to Oleg or making demands as to what he should do, or passing judgement. I'm not anyway. God knows the stress and sweat that has gone into getting this sim to this stage over all these years.

But it seems obvious, I think, that the schedule has unfortunately slipped once again. That's not a criticism or a whinge by the way - just an acknowledgement that in the real world even the best laid plans sometimes don't work out. I (like the rest of us) have been keeping my fingers crossed for months that we'd see this thing by September.

If, as seems likely, that isn't to be the case it really is not that big a deal. We can all wait a bit longer and continue to support this great sim.

But, really, what is the problem about respectfully asking the only people who really know?

edit: now that a request for info has been made (thanks Tree) I agree it is up to the developers to choose whether they feel the time is right. I acknowledge that they may have good reasons for deciding not to. Given that, I won't be commenting on this subject any more. Respect.
