Wulfmann has been associated with the X-1 payware mod interests for quite some time and posts this sort of dribble at Subsim.com all the time. Pure and simple X-1 fanboyism. I personally view the X-1 group as freeware mod thieves. His post that I have quoted is just more of the same. He will quite possibly spew more gibberish here and at Subsim following this post. If and when he does, it will only be more rivet-counting and picking at something he did not build himself.
Regarding X-1's sad little venture... It modifies only the Mediterranean elements of the simulator. We began work on our current project soon after the release of GW 1.0
LOL, you can all be assured that we are copying no-one. We have a strong enough team to determine our own destiny. The fact that we have also re-written our own Mediterranean Ops is purely coincidental... Furthermore, we have added two entirely new operational theaters and three new U-boat flotillas. You WILL have access to these things in GWX without losing ONE BIT of access to current flotillas and/or operations. The Black Sea and Indian Ocean operations will be complete in a matter of days.
The flotilla scripting itself IS COMPLETE and functional already. It is my understanding that the X-1 project sacrifices availability of flotillas that patrol the Atlantic in order to re-name and re-script them for the Mediterranean.
To all others, I am sorry for my relative silence. I am quite literally swamped with PM's and public messages that will all be addressed in time. I hope you understand that I must dedicate the vast majority of my time working with the GWX dev team and project.
A final couple of notes... Over the last few months we have listened closely to the entire community regarding problems with GW. Try to remember that while not every single suggestion can be implemented into GWX... we do read and often emply them.
Secondly, "Freeware mod" does not mean "built by idiots." The GWX freeware mod dev team has some of the best coders, 3D modelers, and artists available in the Subsim.com modding community.
Regarding the release date everyone keeps asking about... We will be done when we are done... (no offense to anyone is meant)
We have a set number of targets we are going to hit before release. It will be worth the wait.
We are not going to rush it out of the door for any player.

Feel free to consider our project about 80% complete though. (...and the things we have chosen to talk about are only the barest tip of the iceberg... much remains ultra-secret!)
Cheers for now.
