Great idea.
 And nearmiss, please, A: learn to read, and B: grow up. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Chivas, thanks for the quotes, and the clarification on the engine/FM thing.

I thought it took over 40 years to try and convince us the Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy, when all the facts say he didn't. But then again i bet you believe man landed on the moon.

BOB SOW is a work in progress that can not be rushed to completion by anxious people. If it were dead, Oleg would step up and say so!...I'm sure that they are doing the very best that they can to get it to market

I dont think SOW is dead, but i have to say if it comes out in 2009 or 10 then it must hold the record for the most time taken to develop a game. We have been led to believe that Oleg and crew have been working flat out on this since 2006, if that is true then its gonna have to sell shed loads to recoup any cash.

Unfortunately do to pressures of having SOW finished they had to pull the full crew into the development, so the 4.09 patch got caught in the middle. It had to happen at some point. The developers support of the IL-2 series is unprecedented so I really can't understand people berating the developers actions.

have you given much attention the ads for birds of prey?
The name it is being sold under and promoted IL2 Sturmovik:Birds of Prey http://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/il-2...-prey/overview Would you say that excludes Oleg? I would NOT think anyone, especially another developer could use IL2 Sturmovik to promote a game. Anyone reading that name would naturally think Oleg was associated to a large degree with that product. The name Il2 Sturmovik is unique enough and has enough clout among users it wouldn't be smart NOT to call the BOB SOW---> IL2 Sturmovik Storms of War: Battle of Britain Branding is what it is all about, and Oleg has a great brand name IL2 Sturmovik Last edited by nearmiss; 08-16-2008 at 09:23 PM.

Like I just implied in a recent post, having IL-2 Sturmovik in the title of BOP has confused alot of people. Most people are over that now. The original IL-2 was planned to only have the IL-2 Strumovik flyable, but the sim evolved many times over the years, thanks to the support of the developers. I'm sure if Oleg had a crystal ball he would have given the sim a different name. I'm not sure the IL-2 Sturmovik name is required for product recognition or fits the discription of the future series.

Look dude, I don't know were you're going with your posts but im sick of them. You've been given enough evidence that IL2-POB has nothing to do with BOB:SOW, now either you just accept it or simply get lost.. since you don't even seem to trust the developers. Besides, the IL2 Birds of Prey version is a great move for 1C to get more involved in the console business. Myself and probably everyone on this forum is a hardcore PC gamer but it's a great move and today the console market is neccessary for any developer/publisher. Even the almighty pc developer ID SOFTWARE and their Code guru John Carmack stated that they've to create console games now to keep up with the market, nonetheless he was sure to point out that "they would still be making PC games even if it wouldn't sell the same , simply because it was the right thing to do" (make PC games). SoW will be great, it's all flight fans and ww2 worshiper's wet dream an all new engine , new features , sounds in other words another benchmark Sim / Engine. I think people should admire them for making this a pure PC game since it's not easy today and then accept BOP as an entry to the console market. People should be glad we don't get a BOP port to the PC, but instead a full featured hardcore flightsim developed by the IL2 team for the >>>>PC<<<<.

For new forum members read with interest posts from
Oleg Maddox IL-2/SOW developer Luthier IL-2 Pacific fighters/ Korean addon to SOW Crazyivan1970 talks to Oleg on occasion and provides valid information on their projects some interesting posts from SaQSon modeller Foobar modeller The rest of us are speculating. Some of our speculations are based on posts from the above group. All of us want more info. Some of us are willing to wait, others will post outrageous speculations, with nothing to back it up, in the hopes that it will draw more info from the developers. From what I've seen over the years, any info given by the developer is more detrimental to the cause, than helpfull. Of course I'm not in the above group so read, but ignore this post.
