Good news on future of BOM

[jojimbo]

I hope the news is positive when it comes out. Unfortunately the negative news I've been hearing appears to have more weight that this snippet.

Fingers crossed development is ongoing and taking the same course as last reported by Luthier.

Good AA in this one! Driver or ingame settings? It's FXAA or SMAA?

which brings us to the current date, where a few 3e hand whiff's of possible change at 1C has the usual same trolls and whiners in the western forums go in a tail spin while cluttering the forums with their clouds of doom and negative speculation. no doubt foobar and ivanK heard something, but there is no indication of what part of the elephant the blind man is holding and then trying to describe to the rest of the crowd of onlookers. neither is there any indication of how reliable their sources are, and these would be lower level employees in any case (who dont hold the big picture information senior management has).

meanwhile in the russian forums (which are usually much better informed) there is no increased chatter or leaked reports of imminent negative changes regarding the future of the SoW series (or reports of major staff changes, or disgruntled recently fired staff members posting under new pseudonyms and bringing out all the dirty laundry). if anything there are positive reports of a new possible investor to breath further life into the series (with a strong emphasis on maintaining realism and a high quality flightsim), AND work continuing on BoM as planned

and if it would so turn out that there has been some change in the current project leader for SoW (luthier), then the lot of you have advanced notice so each of you can go and buy him a case of good vodka as a big thank you for rescueing the SoW series from the imminent death it faced 18 months ago, and for fixing the giant mess he was given when he took over. our only hope for a high realism ww2 flightsim was saved from near death, and after 12 months or so he has given us a pretty good next gen flightsim product that has lots of potential in it to quickly make further giant leaps forward in a very short space of time (since the core game and gfx engine is now working well enough to address the other residual issues)

it is much easier to break and destroy something, then it is to create it, and if any of you are at all interested at all to maximize our chances of getting to the promised land of all-things-good-in-ww2-flightsim, then you better stop giving matches and cans of fuel to the trolls and whiners who have no intention to ever help create anything positive, as they are only here to share their misery

Well said.

Why you translate it in russian? Unreadable! (google translator working bad in both directions R-E/E-R).
