Rise of Flight was very recently released and looks very good. They have a great platform for future development and the title even implies that they are planning things further in the timeline (WW2?). Can anybody see this venture influencing SoW release date? Maybe it did over two years ago when the first delay was apparent. Rise of Flight was developed not far from 1C: Maddox Games studio, after all-in Moscovy. Rumours circulate constantly in metro technical communities.

ROF looks good but is an empty sim. Online is a pain in the rear and has only so many servers, offline there's little to offer and both are worthless when the main server goes down, which happens from time to time. The sim engine is good and could it could be a great CFS but the business model the devs put together is bass ackwards not to mention the lack of features in the (beta) release.

Secrecy? It might be prudent. Surely Maddox company knows more than we about the competition in the future. Some would say better safe than sorry.

Who's Olegs competition? He hasn't had any for years and will remain so. Hell he could probably release the source code and nothing (competition wise) would change.

There is only speculation what is causing the delay. My last post is probably a good bet which could be the problem getting updates out as there is little to show. At this point we are getting the same update we got in May, and would probably expect the same the rest of the year.
