It wouldn't make much sense if even Oleg isn't allowed to tell about the publisher but a member of UBI would tell per mail to everybody who asks... or?
And even if UBI wouldn't be publisher any more they would know who will be publisher in future.

We will see early enough.

Cordialement

Interesting, thanks for checking with them. However I wouldn't underestimate their potential for cluelessness. I still remember how they failed to mention Lock On in their official release list back in 2003, as if it didn't exist

I guess we can at least consider it "unlikely" that they are still involved, which would be perfectly fine with me...

They are not involved at all, and have not been for a long time.

When 2012 reach us and nothing happens again, like 2000, people will have another date.
So,we can have more hollywood films.

What movie was made about the year 2000 event?

If you'd stop chewing your mic to shreds every other thursday, then we could get alot of those issues worked out together via vent.

I'm using il2fov myself and it works perfectly 99% of the time.

btw il2, like most games currently still on the market, is not programmed for widescreen and does not perfectly implement it with the ini hack (but it does cause the widescreen monitor to be filled with video/image during game play, giving the illusion of correctly implemented widescreen FoV (it cuts a strip off the bottom and top of the screen to do so)

there are several specific technical reasons for those factors, and many long term il2 folks will know the reasons for this, and i think you can be fairly safe oleg has programmed BoB for widescreen resolutions rather then 5:4 or 4:3 ratio's

for the "cockpit vs wonderview question" (and having a new version of wonderview requested from oleg), thats again another thread you can start. keeping threads mainly focused on one topic (if you want oleg's attention drawn to it and have a chance of getting him to respond, which often he does), then the more articulate and specific you can be the better (with illustrations and examples even if possible, like the person who recently posted the opaque wonderview dials did))

Thanks for your suggestion Zap,
I will try my luck for tomorrows update... I know that Olegs reads that... At least until the endless debates on menutia gets into full swing... I have prepared a few screenshots to highlight my points as you suggested... I hope to get an answer from the man himself. Take care. Mat

I find it amusing that anyone would ask "What are the specs for BoB?". I would understand if the question was a compatibity issue, though it makes sense that the sim will be compatible with popular operating systems... Surely no one's building a rig today to run a sim that hasn't even released it's system "required minimum specs"... I guess, if you have to ask, then you'll probably need new hardware. If I recall, releases from Maddox Games tend to hang around for years and get performance updates constantly through thier life cycle. I run IL-2 on a Pentium 3 400MHz with a BW 15" CTR and dial-up. It looks and behaves better on more modern equipment, however.

A lot of the people asking if they need new hardware have held off upgrading for a year or more and can't wait any longer. Given that Oleg has said they are very close to the final product, they must already have a good idea of what systems run the game well, and there's a fair chance we'll hear news here before the publishers release any system requirements.

I was at the dentist today and picked up a copy of Australian PCPowerplay magazine (march 2009 edition I think!)

In the hot release section I found this picture. (sorry for the blurry image it was on my mobile phone and the dentist just called out my name!!)



It's a bit hard to see but the "Released Date" is 1-6-2009

Damnation! Oleg was right! Its October and 1000's have been playing SOW!

JUST NOT US!!!!!!!

Maybe we've been to busy asking "Is it Here yet? Is it here yet??"
