quote,

"Our story began in 2004 with a proposal from our leader Vladimir “Saqson” Kochmarskiy to gather a group of 3D artists for the IL-2 Sturmovik : Pacific Fighters project. Our first experience cooperating on such a project was quite successful and was followed by a series of further additions to the IL-2 franchise which included models and maps which were created mostly by our team.

In 2007 our modeling team was refreshed and ready to start work on a new project based on the Korean War, but this game was not destined to be released due to circumstances beyond our control. So we moved on to work on the Battle of Britain project from 1C:Maddox Games. This work produced some very tangible results. In the virtual skies over the English Channel fly eight types of aircraft that were built by our team. Cooperation with 1C: Maddox Games continues and our models for their new simulator sometimes cause heated discussions in the forums and fan-sites.

As time moved on, we felt the need to expand the scope of our activities and started to look for new opportunities. Our friends at 777 Studios reached out to us and offered an opportunity for cooperation on planes for their awesome simulator Rise of Flight. We enthusiastically took up this new direction for us - the history of World War 1. We hope that our work will bring even more fun to the ROF community than it gave creative satisfaction to us. We have enjoyed learning how to create such a cool airplane like the CL.II for ROF."

I couldn't tell from the Blog if the mod team is now working exclusively for ROF or continue to contract out for both COD and ROF?

No, that is a bit unclear. What is clear tho, is that Galba: Project Korea is not going to happen... Damn'.

Well, not entirely - It is clear that Galba won't be released within 9 months of CoD (as originally suggested). We know that BoM has increased in priority - but we still don't know what has happened to the Med or Korea. Presumably, most of the research has been completed for these. We're also awaiting word on the SDK. Basically, everything is up-in-the-air while they try to tune the engine for next release.

It was hinted that we'd get Autogyros (Cierva and possibly the Kamov), but that is even more debatable... We'll have to wait and see. We shouldn't take the word of some contractors as definitive that there will never be a Korean sim on this engine though.
