Announcing an announcement is the perfect way to create disappointments.
One would think these guys would have learned by now.

Indeed they have, it is turning out to be quite an incredible combat flight sim. I have no telling how many hours in it now since earlier this year , and I love the direction they are heading with it. I fly it almost daily now.

And I was a large critic of it when it was first officially released.

+1. They have learned and are really turning BOX around. Lets just hope they keep focusing on the right aspects of BOX while they move forward. AI refinement, a Hyperlobbyish MP gathering Lobby that supports the Self Hosted Coop, AI Refinement, Air Marshall MP, AI refinement, Mods on mode, AI refinement, Separate Joystick profiles like ROF, AI refinement, Dots for long distance icons, AI refinement. Did I mention AI Refinement and Expanded Development?? Did I leave anything out? winkngrin

Don't forget the AI refinement! What I would really like to see is the separate joystick profiles for different aircraft, but doubt that's worthy of a major announcement.
This has to be something big!

Agreed, but this is something that is sorely needed especially as the sim develops and more planes come into the mix.

Two things I really would love to have for our controllers:
Separate profiles for individual panes
Ability to assign a joystick button as a press and hold modifier.

Waite, didn't you post this just the other day? Don't get caught on the tracks when "The Hype Train " comes through. hahaha salute

Yep, but im someone posting on a simulation forum in a BoS subforum. My comment was more a generalization for new customers and no people hopelessly addicted to flight sims already. I've tried very hard to get quite a few people to give BoS a try and they wont for various reasons. I still stand by that comment also. BOAF would do much better getting away from the IL2 brand IMO. I know several people who really want a pacific game who wont pick up BOAF just because of past history. (or so they say, it's one thing to say it and another to do it when it finally is playable.)

I'd love to see something announced about the Pacific, but isn't this announcement just going to be for the release of BoK? They previously mentioned that the whole thing would come together towards the end of the year, so I'm guessing we'll soon see a beta for the new campaign with all aircrafts in the BoK map as well as an official release date.
*edit* I guess I should have read the announcement about the announcement first. The mention about plans for the future makes me hope for something beyond BoK indeed. Fingers crossed. It's already Friday here but I guess I'll have to wait for breakfast on Saturday to read the news.

They'll Probably anounce that the career mode has gone live and will be in the next update. Looking forward to it.

RoF in the new engine as well as a multicrew tank game. This is way more than I could have asked for. But what about the pacific stuff?

I really hope it works out for them.

Whilst I am disappointed in the delay of the Pacific Theatre, I am looking forward to seeing ROF get some love along with VR support.

You are totally wrong... nothing to do with any kind of lobbying.
The Pacific 'will' come, when they have the resources to do it justice.

Keep funding other theaters Pacific-guys, soon enough you will get those future promises you keep paying for.
Just have faith.
It's for something good.
