Which will happen first, the release of SOW or the second coming of Christ? I will be happy with either.

I would not expect anything till after Birds of Brey launches. I would doubt 1c wants to release 2 games so closely themed and related in a way to steal thunder from each other. Incidentally, any one know if SoW and BoP share resources? I wonder if we can see these BoP videos as previews of SoW.

Any link between BOP and SOW has been strenously denied by the Oleg camp, despite the fact that the ground detail in BOP looks suspiciously similar to that seen on the SOW DVD that came with Forgotten battles, this was back in the day when Oleg told Mystic Puma (on video) that he was hoping for a late 2007 realease. We have however since found out that it was an Oleg impersonater at that Birmingham convention, because the real Oleg has stressed recently that work did not start on SOW until late 2007, and i believe him.

Work started on SOW in 2004, with only a handfull of the development team. Oleg stated that the full development team didn't start work on SOW until 2007, after Pacific Fighters, IL-2 1946 etc were completed.

Birds of Prey lauches in Sept this year with a different developer with their own game engine. SOW will hopefully be released sometime in the latter part to 2010. Oleg let the BOP developers use the FM from IL-2 game engine. Oleg's SOW will be far more detailed on a new and different game engine. Although BOP could spawn some console users to take the plunge into more complicated and detailed flight sims. I know many PC users are contemplating buying consoles if they don't already have them to play BOP, atleast until SOW comes out.

Sorry Chivas, I'm just trying to be positive.

Historically though Oleg has released news like this, sporadically I mean, that's why I expect something soon. I haven't posted for awhile and I don't constantly say things like this. =/

I believe this is correct Chivas, which proves that Oleg telling Mystic Puma he hoped to release in late 2007 was utter madness!!
