Thanks for that Oleg! Keep up the good work!

More likely the end of 2008 (holiday season). After all, if you have a good beta then you can gauge system requirement and beta testing can go on for a long time.

end 2008 is the more likely release date

btw gogamer.com also have that as a release date listed (and have dropped hints they are "in the know", but cant give official answers on a release date in forums)

starting new speculation on a summer 2008 release just from what oleg just said is not warranted

Dear Mr Maddox

i was wondering if and when the 4.09 patch will be out?
i have heard "two weeks" for about 2-3 months now and i thought i would ask you again.

also i have seen some screenshots of the new sovlakia map and so should it be comming out soon and would it be freeware or payware?

Regards

Summer 08 is the release of H/W specifications, according to Mr Oleg, not of the game itself. Dec 08 for the game release made already the consensus of people with a usable brain.

Unless delays occur, of course.

It will be free (based on past policy, and how it was made).

Two weeks,

S!

- Weak point of combat flight sim games: learning curve = long time to get some fun. In particular the shooting is long and difficult to master

- Result: the less motivated quit the game and also the genre

- Remedy: improve the training section of BOB. Put in some training aids, for instance a predictive "virtual pipper", kinda of a coloured dot to show where to aim with the real collimator. This would help a lot to develop the deflection shooting, and be a fun in itself. Add also the hit% statistics as in CFS. It's great for training.

Correct automatically moveable point to show you right place ot hit that to get enemy aircraft in movement will be present. But ofcourse it will be swichable in difficulty settings and on the server.
Training also will be absolutely new. Including online training

I can add to this something Ian boys wrote exactly a year ago, in SimHQ, about the Tiger Moth in BoB:

http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthread...022900&fpart=1

"Franky - the point is that the Tiger Moth won't just be another plane, it will be a REAL DUAL-CONTROL TRAINER trainer that we can use to get new pilots into the game. A couple of circuits with an old hand in the back seat then off for your first solo! "

Oleg,

does this mean multi crew aircraft online , with pilot and co-pilot in different country locations so we can use BoB/il2 for flying lessons and training purposes ?

that would be great ! (fsX does not allow for this, you cant crew and control the same aircraft with pilot/co-pilot on different pc's in different countries).

I asked Oleg this very question awhile back. He said it was still a close to the vest secret
