pretty lame idea, i think they already lost 50% of their market before it is even released

when it functions like any other game you can play whenever and wherever it suits the person who purchased it, let me know. looking at the screenshots it also looks a very dated gfx engine, like a souped up version of il2. and i wont be giving them another 50$ each time they bring out a new plane either

your talking about a cake you never tried...pffttt..go home and upgrade your net

WWI aircraft just never interested me. I bought the Red Baron and other titles, but I got so bored so quick.

The planes were slow, firepower was weak, the battlefields were small and depressing with all the trench warfare and such.

When I was a kid I like to build the WWI Spads and such as model airplanes, because you could get those little mosquitos to manuever like crazy.

Online game only just tells me there are many things that make a great air combat sim that are not in the package.

Thanks, but no thanks to the early era of flight, online or offline.

Give me a powerful 109-G2 with some gunpods and cannon... now that's a package to do airwarfare.

you seem to think that whatever limited reality exists in your own mind, makes you understand how the rest of the world functions without having ever seen it

no, not everything Turd wants to play with is automatically of any interest to others. and with the 2mb cable access i have the web access doesnt need to be upgraded, so thats not what it is about, odd eh

i think the scenery and 3D world looks pretty crappy, and being forced to always be on a pc that is connected 24/7 to the internet is just not convenient, not giving offline play is idiotic to. most il2 buyers play it ofline and never even ventured online (going by oleg's previously stated statistics)

seems like a con trick to me, they didnt mention it during development at all, and i betcha they wont clearly label it on the game box either so people will be conned into buying something they dont want or cant use 90% of the time.

If it is so obviously not for you, why do you keep banging on about it? Wouldn't it be a better use of your time to just go away???

you might not have spotted this, but you'r in an il2/BoB forum, which emm , err , you know, is for discussing il2 and BoB related products that we emm, err ..., as il2/BoB customers like or want to discuss.

doesnt mean you have to start clapping every time a flying turd comes past and we have to discuss its flight modeling, just because its an airborne object and you are in a flightsim forum

if its a flying turd, lets just call it a flying turd

It may be a flying turd... But at least it is flying
Last IL2 update we got was and I quote "4.09 will not be worked on until SOW reach a special point in development" No one is saying what that point is so calling this an IL2 forum is kind-of-lame anyway.
Calling it a SOW forum is a joke because hell four months after a promised... We still sit with screenshots of planes built in a viewer most likely built when SOW was a concept and they thought they could still use the original IL2 engine
The fact that the ROF guys built there own engine and flight sim deserves some credit. So some people do not like online 24/7 authentication.
Well they are not catering for those guys purely because the money is not there obviously.
The online activation and data monitoring is obviously an anti piracy thing...
My guess is SOW when it eventually is released will also have some find of online activation at least.

Four month after a promissed.... what?

And who promised that to you?


@ RickRuski:
You can be banned for discussing that here, you know?

But then anyway big-time LOL - to be concerned about owner rights and companies limiting your own rights, while you suggest to play a game based on an illegal crack. Really got to ROFLOL!
Sounds like always: It's okay, if you brake a law as long as I'm not hurt by it.

For someone who has been on the forum so long... You of all people could list the number of threads removed simply because the promise made have been so obviously not met.
But please even in your "let me please my masters voice" must admit Nike promised an update last month and Oleg promise (or as you would have us believe accidentally mentioned but did not really mean) a SOW webpage.
You really make me laugh because sadly you cannot help defending something you obviously know little about.
And nobody promised me anything. The only joy I get is reading a response like yours.

excrimsonve, like in RealLife, you just can't have it all. I'm sorry, but it's just not realistic to have a perfectly sim or product in every single regard. It's just impossible.

You don't have unlimited financial and personal resources. You cannot make a game and keep working on it for 10 years to make it perfect and then expect that the will refund all the money you had to pay for rooms, hardware, personell and production from the last 10 years.

And besides that, you also have to keep in mind that this sim must be able to run on average home PCs and available for a price that people are willing to pay.

So you have to take the consequences and make you priorities. That doesn't please everybody, isn't perfect in every single regard and it leaves flaws and ways to improve. But that's life.

And of course you know that a few more month of development won't add all the details you want."

You say the same thing no matter what the forum, Don't you get tired of protecting the developers at all costs...

Actually Tree is correct. I have the cake and I've eaten it too!
