Well we tryed. I guess someone has to act responsible d amn it. This very very disappointing but it may be for the best. I gotta figure that the longer it takes the more advanced it will end up being. Thank you for breaking the silence of KOE and thank you for trying so hard. please keep in touch and when ever product A is ready I'm sure I'll be willing to check it out. Best of Luck to you sir! S!

Thanks for letting us know and preventing us from wasting our time. Take care John.

Thanks for posting this.
There may be a chance in the future to possibly put some work into this, or if the source code could be sold and finished but it looks like the end of the game, at least for now.
Keep us in the loop for any changes.

What a shame. Perhaps another developer (Oleg maybe?) will see the responses here and give it a shot.

Although the demise of any sim is bad news, it's one of the reasons I never look forward to the release of the next best thing. Usually if it sounds or looks like the next best thing, it'll never be released.
My suggestion for all the WWI fans is to give your money to Dawn of Aces team and ask them to make it better. Or at least turn it over to the same engine that runs Warbirds 3.

Yes, we all do feel very said about this, but the will was there if not the immediate means.
John, you hung onto our dream as long as you could, and after all it was never Aspect's failure but that of the publisher's and their decision to abandon this project.
I think in the long run the experience has been a good one, if not a bit sobering. Still we have learned many things about the software development business, and marketing, and as you said......how hard it is to make a flight sim!
Finally, the sim community has really rallied around this effort, and this has been a very refreshing experience in fact!
Perhaps then something of real value has arisen from our experience here, and our dream of one day rising into the skies to do battle again like Knights Over Europe will always be with us, in one way or another!
Thank's to John and Aspect for giving it their best shot, and to all here, 'cause it's been grand!

Yeah thanks guys - is there any chance that the source code could be released? It could be taken on by a group here or even used for something like Target for Tonight or a similar project. Would hate to see all that good work go to waste

Heartbreaking But thanks for coming here John and explaining the situation and for discussing ideas. Thanks also for trying your very best in attempts to resurrect KoE. The discussions have been very very readable and it was good fun joining in. Best of wishes to you regardig project "A", hopefully it will be a succes, so that we do not yet have to say "goodbye" to KoE, only "au revoir"

Please do - I am sure that everyone here would be interested in what it is like to work on a sim from the inside. Any pics of you and anything else of relevance I am sure would be of interest as well. Maybe you could even give us a sneak peak of what you are working on?!
