Friday July 1 Update – Meet the Team

[luthier]

Sometimes, mere words are not enough.

Sometimes, it’s important to see the faces that give you all those emotions.

So let’s start.

(I’m a game developer, not a photographer, OK)


http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6035/5890587115_fa044a3c76.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/64714588@N04/5890587115/)

This is Valery Kornilov, our new sound designer. We are redoing our sound from scratch. It is proceeding at a better pace than expected. It’s already in a working alpha state, and everyone loves it. The only thing that makes it an alpha is that a lot of events do not play sounds yet. 95% of the remaining work is simply adding new samples.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5031/5890587187_8827e804c3.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/64714588@N04/5890587187/)

This is our modeling isle. Sergey Karavayev is the owner of the sexy derriere you see in the bottom left. He’s the guy who built the BR-20M for Cliffs of Dover, and tons of planes for Il-2. He is also the author of the silhouetted plane some of you may remember from V-E day.
The striped shirt above Sergey belongs to Peter Vysotin, our genius landscape programmer and hardware expert. They are installing a brand new GeForce 570 into Sergey’s machine.
Above them is Marina Kurdyukova, our MAI-educated 3D modeler who continues to create great-looking 3D models for BoB’s sequel.
Ilya Steshov is the striped shirt behind her. He’s also our 3D modeler, ship expert, and game designer currently working on various multiplayer scripts and play testing.
The empty seat behind him belongs to Pavel Kayuroff, our self-taught jack of all trades genius who is currently taking over some aircraft physics tasks.
Oleg Radyshevsky, our jolly giant, is sitting there modeling a Soviet pilot uniform. He is the guy who made most of the characters you see in Cliffs of Dover.
The shy guy in headphones is Dima Bespyatkin, our underappreciated aircraft modeler who built Cliffs of Dover’s Hurricane. First one to guess what he’s building now wins, I don’t know, probably nothing at all.

Let’s move over to the expert row.

Dirk-something number 7 is Lesha Pervov, our all-around programming expert. He is currently discussing improvements to the shoreline render with Vitaly Melehin, the uncharacteristically handsome graphics programmer. He is the person behind the amazing optimization effort and performance improvements that we all witnessed over the past few months.
The head behind them belongs to Vitaly Kozhevnikov, our map maker. Winter is coming.
The two gentlemen on the other side our walking aircraft encyclopedias, Alexander Porozov and Yuri Shoubin. Also MAI-educated, with decades of combined experience building real aircraft at Sukhoi OKB, they know everything there is to know about aircraft.

The other side of the room contains Mikhail Volkov, our new aircraft AI expert, who is continuing to work on the orders menu. Behind him is Igor Egorov, our lead programmer and the guy without whom neither Cliffs of Dover nor the original Il-2 could have ever been anything.

And finally, in the darkest corner of the office, is Gennady.

No one knows what he does.

[Insuber]

Good luck chaps - bon courage.

[albx]

Thank you very much Luthier, :-)

[Pudfark]

That's a good start...:grin:

[Baron]

Nice to see the faces behind it and to hear all the things that`s coming. Most of all the sounds. :)

[JumpingHubert]

I hope Valery Kornilov the new soundengineer find this
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23533
or this thread
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23775
for inspiration :)

@Mr Kornilov
great choice the igrado. But had to correct frequency @8k to -6,4dB via x-fi equilizer.

[159th_Jester]

Luthier forgot someone....... Himself. :)

[lensman1945]

Great to see everyone!

And tantalising snippets of things to come....:-)

[Jatta Raso]

apparently someone did read that PR liaison thing... nice, found very interesting to see that there's more to it than a semi-deserted office with 2-3 chaps sitting around...

[Winger]

Nice to see all the face and foremost MANY of em:) Also i am really happy to hear that the squelching of your sound issues is progressing well. Really looking forward to finally play the game on a daily online basis.

Winger

[Lololopoulos]

good to see the team!! thank you developers!!!!

[Dano]

Nice to see some faces and hear some hints as to what is on the way :)

So do we get to test the alpha sound engine at all? :D

[csThor]

And finally, in the darkest corner of the office, is Gennady.

[SNIP]

No one knows what he does.

LOL, that's what we say about some of our superiors. ;)

[sigintwarrior]

Dima Bespyatkin is modeling a FW-190! Oh Oh Oh..... Or a P-47!!! Oh Oh Oh!!!! Or maybe an X-Wing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LET IT BE AN X-WING!!!!!!

Sorry.... got carried away.

Anyhow, Oleg Radyshevsky is working on a Soviet uniform? Guess we know where the first expansion is gonna be.

Is that an IL-2 Joystick box on Mikhail Volkov's desk? Where can I get one of those?

I think Gennady, over there in the dark corner of the office, looks pretty sinister. Probably ex-GRU, there to keep an eye on everyone..... I can hear him now.... "BACK TO WORK! NO TALKING! WHY ARE YOU CRYING???? THERE IS NO CRYING IN GAME DESIGNING!!!!":-P

Keep up the good work guys. We are counting on you.

[PeterPanPan]

This is such a good post Luthier - thank you. Putting faces to names and faces to as yet unknown developers is a genius idea. Really looking forward to the new sound and continued progress with CoD.

PPP

[FlyingShark]

Nice to see the people, good luck. But like someone mentioned before, when are we gonna see Luthier himself?

~S~

[335th_GRAthos]

That was nice Luthier but, where is a picture of yourself????

You know, to print it, cut it and add it to the iconostasis (wall with icons (sacred pictures)),
...or put it on the Dartboard (if things do not turn up) ;)

Thanks for the feedback and for the time you spent thinking about us! :)

nice week end!

[LoBiSoMeM]

Great team. Keep the good work!

[SG1_Lud]

Very nice, and very smart of you Luthier, thanks.

The post is a joy, but even more is read between the lines; it can be seen that you keep the optimistim and you have had more time too. Both are very good signs to see in the ship's Captain.

cheers!

This is Valery Kornilov, our new sound designer.
....and just to motivate him a photograph of the old sound designer's execution.

:neutral:

[roadczar]

Great way to bond with the community!

[Bloblast]

....and just to motivate him a photograph of the old sound designer's execution.

Sssh it looks like they hanged him.

Valery good luck!

[SG1_Lud]

Oh I almost forgot.

You forgot the rabbit. Please post a pic of the rabbit in good shape, so that Tree_UK can sleep well tonight.

[BGs_Ricky]

Winter is coming.

Luthier, are you a "A Game of Thrones" fan by any chance ?? ;)

Thanks for the heads up, good to see that you are all very busy in correcting/improving the game but looking also at future already, should give some hope to those who think COD is dead already. :)

[furbs]

Luthier...nice to see some faces!

Now...Luthier, can i ask you something....what is happening with FSAA in COD?

There is no way on earth it is working and each time (and there has been 100s of threads or posts) somebody asks you dont even acknowledge there is a problem.

So is FSAA going to ever work in COD?

and when is the next patch? :)

[Gourmand]

may the force be with you ;)
don't fall into the dark side

[Dano]

I know what he's modelling ;)

[adonys]

you mean, the dark side of the force :D

See, it's not so hard, and we're not a so hard to please monkey crowd.. We just need honesty, and a fair relationship: give and take in as fairest amount as possible.

Even if you haven't said a word of game's state, it's enough for as, as it represents exactly what we ask from you guys: the will to openly communicate with us.

So.. thanks for the update, Luthier! And all of you have a nice weekend :)

[Rattlehead]

This is something of a masterstroke.

Certainly putting these pictures out adds a personal touch, and something that was a pleasant surprise. It's nice to meet the team, and it's good to see them smiling and not looking like they're going to hang themselves any minute.
If you guys are still enjoying what you do, then I think it bodes very well for the future of the series.

It also bears pointing out to the forum members that the team is really small by development standards, and that we must remember that when we demand immediate improvements to the game.

Anyway, thanks Luthier for this post. It was a nice surprise.

PS-Now, a photo of yourself would be good.

[Strike]

Hey that's the best friday update in ages! Glad to see the team and that your office has LCD monitors and not oscilloscopes :D Wish you all the best of luck and I am really really looking forward to be "hearing" (wink) from your soundguy in the future :D

[Ze-Jamz]

Take my hat of to you for such a post, it's a bit late coming but it makes all the difference when it comes to bonding with the community, you have basically gave me something to grasp onto when I'm or We are talking about issue and patches etc instead of having an image of you on your own with a mountain of things to do and ready to throw the towel in.

I'm looking forward to the next patch as I'm guessing it will contain the new sounds wether they are Beta or not who knows

[Dietger]

Love your humor Luthier - keep it!

Hello Team!
Great to see some faces or asses at least! LOL
A heartfelt
"Thank you for all the endless hours!"
Don't stop! We're with you.

S!
Dietger

[Ataros]

Surprisingly small team!..

[nearmiss]

I count 15 people in the photos + Luthier.

How many people do you think it takes?

I'm very pleased to see how many people are involved.

Next week the naysayers will be whining as usual.

How soon they forget!

[addman]

Many thanks for the post and the pictures. This is really restoring a lot of hope for me personally. Keep the good work up!

P.S Your update actually made me want to play the game again, don't ask me how. :)

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

What a pleasant surprise,thanks for posting Luthier,as the rest,it's nice to see the team,good luck guys.

[Strike]

You know the ultimate badass friday update for next week would have been the original "engine start video effect with sound place holder" released by Oleg Maddox in late 2010 with your new sound :) I think that would seriously slaughter the soundwhiners around here :D

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G836qqOhhZ8&playnext=1&list=PL43FEE58BF87124FD)

Think positive :) I made a compliment to the team. It's amazing how much can be achieved by so few. History repeats itself :)

That team is not small its tiny if you should create such a post with members of lets say Call of Duty dev team it would be several pages long

[albx]

damn, never happy eh? :evil:

quantity doesn't always mean quality... for example X-Plane is made by only 1 guy

[nearmiss]

Battlefield was by 1 guy on first release

[alexm2323]

Ignoring overtime:

15 people x 8 hours
= 120 hours/ day
= 600 hours/week of coding.
I can live with that quite happily.

[Pato Salvaje]

"And finally, in the darkest corner of the office, is Gennady.

Maybe... "the guy" from Ubisoft?...:lol:

Good team Ilya. Keep the hard work. We espect so much from you, guys. ;)

[HKLE]

nice treat, Luthier

Thank you

[kakkola]

It`s nice to see people`s faces that we are insulting........
Just kidding!

[smink1701]

Luthier,

Your gesture reminds me of the scene in "Saving Private Ryan" when Captain Ryan waited for just the right time when his men were coming unglued to tell them what he did before the war. Can anyone name his occupation?

Very nice post BTW. Now earn this!

[the Dutchman]

Good move,and courageous!

[Derinahon]

Really nice post, thanks for taking the time :)

...and here's Luthier playing CoD some time ago for those of you asking to see him :-P

RoFL, everytime Luthier goes quiet on the forums I think this is where he's at :D

[Rattlehead]

damn, never happy eh? :evil:

quantity doesn't always mean quality... for example X-Plane is made by only 1 guy

It is not a criticism at all. Rather, it clarifies certain things, like for example why the development of the sim took quite some time, and why we cannot expect major changes overnight.

[Towarisch]

Thank you Luthier for the nice Pictures from the men´s ...AAanndDD..Ladys:o;) who stayed for the Sim Cliffs of Dover:)

Thats nice to know:grin:


Good Luck, nerves of steel and a nice Weekend for you Luthier and TEAM

Perfect! The best possible way to restore faith on the title, thanks!

And keep the communication flowing! :grin:

[Viking]

I rise my glas and salut the brave and hardworking crew at 1C! Kudos and hope for a prosperus future for you all.

[Mags]

Nice post! Good to see you all.

...but where are the Jolts and Coca-Colas? :-)

[Pluto]

Nice to see the faces behind it and to hear all the things that`s coming. Most of all the sounds. :)

agree 100% !
:grin:

[Anvilfolk]

Great post! Do you guys actually feed Gennady? Throw him a few pounds of meat every now and then! Hehehehe :)

I hope you guys are having fun over on that end :)

[warbirds]

And then after the pictures are taken Gennady ushers them all out to the bus that takes them back to Siberia.

Just for one post let it go would you. This post is for meeting the team not asking for XXXX okay????

[Novotny]

Not enough ass, and of course the colours are all wrong. Heads are too small. These are not 2011 standard humans. Also I bluescreened twice reading this thread.

[AARPRazorbacks]

Really nice post, thanks for taking the time :)

...and here's Luthier playing CoD some time ago for those of you asking to see him :-P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgy88KGDX-o

Thanks for the update Luthier.

The thing is I have the same Sim on my PC as you do why am I now so poor and your not?:)

After the last patch, this sim just simply the best up to date WWII sim.

I try and fly other sims but just keep coming back to CLoD. Even with the work that it needs. I'm getting pretty good at bombing London Bridge.:)

1 thing that I did see in the Video is you do not speak in the native language in Moscow (Russia).:confused:

You speak English. And your phone ringer is a U.S. song. Are you from the USA?:eek:

Keep up the good work Team CLoD.

yer...your right, il just ask again in the 25 other threads about FSAA where nobody has given a answer in. :rolleyes:

[flyingblind]

I know what Gennady does. He reads all the posts and is making a list........

[Robert]

Luthier,

Your gesture reminds me of the scene in "Saving Private Ryan" when Captain Ryan waited for just the right time when his men were coming unglued to tell them what he did before the war. Can anyone name his occupation?

Very nice post BTW. Now earn this!


Teacher. English, I think. That was my favorite part of the movie. To ME it brought a human touch to the war you rarely see in movies.



Luthier, thanks. To the team? Keep up the good work. One thing Luthier said that gave a bit of confidence as to the longevity of CoD is "The sequel to BoB." I'm looking forward to the U.S release and to it's subsequent additions.


See you next Friday?

[von Pilsner]

Thanks Luthier! It's nice to see some of the people who are working on this game.

[SlipBall]

And finally, in the darkest corner of the office, is Gennady.

No one knows what he does.

Judging by the dolls on his desk, he appears to be working on the human form for the sim. The disturbing part is that the dolls appear to be half dressed:grin:...is that Oleg's old corner desk?

[Trumper]

Wasn't there a lovely young lady in Olegs earlier update posts?
Question, does "new sounds" mean realistic sounds?
Nice to see the team together,lets hope they are still there after the release in the USA to keep the sim moving forward.

[rakinroll]

Good to meet you guys, thank you Luthier.

[gflinch]

This is Valery Kornilov, our new sound designer.


Ummm this should drive all the girls crazy.

This man is listed on the ROF website (http://riseofflight.com/en/about/team) as Sound-Master: Valery Kornilov.

DOH!

[Dano]

What's the sound in RoF like?

[Tree_UK]

Banning people for quoting others is harsh, very harsh.

[Doc_uk]

What's the sound in RoF like?Nice, very nice:grin:

[ATAG_Doc]

What's the sound in RoF like?

YouTube it and see for yourself.

Edit: I am sure someone will make this into something like: See they're so desperate their last grasp is to seek help from another sim see!!! Watch bet you.

[Dano]

YouTube it and see for yourself.

I'm on my laptop, it's not going to give me any idea :)

[Tbag]

I'm on my laptop, it's not going to give me any idea :)

The ROF sound is amazing! Fingers crossed!

[klem]

Damn,

it makes it so much harder to throw bricks when you've seen their sweet faces!

Lock Valery in the office and don't let him come out until the sound bug is fixed. 2 weeks, be sure! Meantime tell him we've moved to ROF to sample his work until he finishes the job.

I think Luthier is Gennady, grown a moustache. He has that look that says "Post that again and I'll...."

[Doc_uk]

Why was i thinking of this, When you said meet the team:rolleyes:

Well that's too bad. Trying to describe it would be like you trying to tell us what a banana taste like if we never had one. Fix your laptop.

[Troll2k]

I did not see a picture of the new community manager.

I guess finding one of those is a lot harder than finding a good programmer.

After reading the job description who would want the job.

Besides Luthier is doing an excellent job.

[Dano]

Well that's too bad. Trying to describe it would be like you trying to tell us what a banana taste like if we never had one. Fix your laptop.

Don't be ridiculous, a simple 'great, ok, rubbish etc' would suffice. Laptop isn't broken, it just hasn't got a decent set of speakers like my desktop system has.

[mattebubben]

Would give a Finger to see a Sneakpeek on the New sounds =P
the Sounds for me is 1 of the most Inportant thing in any sim and the 1 thing where il2 Lacks This far.

[ATAG_Doc]

Don't be ridiculous, a simple 'great, ok, rubbish etc' would suffice. Laptop isn't broken, it just hasn't got a decent set of speakers like my desktop system has.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be ridiculous to you I apologize. But they are very good.

But still get a Bluetooth headset / ear buds for your laptop.

[Dano]

I've no need for it, I'll have access to my desktop in an hour or so, I just wanted to see what peoples opinions were.

[carguy_]

Nice to meet new guys and again see the old folks working on the il2 years ago. Keep the faith in your job and don`t ever let the naysayers get you down. You`re creating something BIG I mean BIG!

[nearmiss]

Mods have received too many complaints from angry parents about profanity on 1C games forums.

Guys you may think you are in a adult world, but when something is called a game.... well, it does have appeal to the kiddies too.

Therefore, stomping on a few toes for profanity on these forums... hopefully everyone will get the message.

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24158

[ATAG_Doc]

Yes indeed I have to watch it myself. I wish there was an adult section.

Something for people over 21.

Then another section for people WAY over 21 with hearing aid ads all over it.

nice. Can you mention some advances of Battle for Moscow or "moscow behind us"

my Bf109F, some advanced screenshot!?;)

Luthier, do tell...

1. Does Ilya Steshov want a picture of myself to nail to a dart board? Given the Minensuchboot incident I would think he might fancy the idea. Being an expert and all that he sure dislikes me for highlighting a certain "flaw"...

2. Will this one post be all for the next 7 days? People around here are pretty much fed up with being COMPLETELY ignored, you know?

Luthier, thanks for this game. The launch was rough, days immediately after the launch were rough, but it's easy to see that Dover keeps getting better. It's good to see the people who make this happen. Great post.

Looks like it's sitting on TOP of the joystick box. Two different boxes. One joystick, the other IL2. I can see a clear delineation.

[addman]

It's a Stargate. :)

It's more than a Stargate, it's a gateway to a parallel universe where the successful and functioning version of CloD exist. The team is trying to activate it and travel there to retrieve the working code for the game.

[White Owl]

Yeah, a closer look makes me think you're right. I wondered if they were planning on selling the game packaged with a cheap joystick to make it a little more accessible to the average gamer.

[Phazon]

You got the main sound man from Rise of Flight? Now that is probably the most interesting thing I've heard in regards to Cliffs of Dover for a while. No wonder work is progressingly quickly with that, he would be quite experienced! :)

I hold Rise of Flight in high regard for its high quality, realistic sound. It is very well done, to the point that if you lean outside of the cockpit you can hear the air suddenly hit you. Or when you turn sharply you can hear the air buffeting over the wings. It is a huge addition to the immersion in that game.

If we got the same level of effects and quality in Cliffs of Dover, it would be a huge positive step forward in terms of immersion and overall feel of quality for the game.

[dflion]

I have noticed lately in the forum that things have been a bit sceptical about the flight sim's future.

Your post introducing us all to the team is a good 'moral booster' for all of us Luthier. Keep working away, you will get there.

I am especially pleased to see your new sound engineer with some 'heavy duty' hardware on his desk.

I am 'chipping away' with FMB, discovering something new everyday. Get 'Gennady in the darkest corner of the office' to immediately start working on it, to release it in full very soon!

Its a Thrustmaster.. one of my favorite joystick.. they also made a FORCE FEEDBACK version of the same thing and it was one of my favorite force feedback sticks. Sadly they dont produce it no more. The one he as is the non force feedback version. There is a logo of IL2 on the box because IL2 recommended that stick back in the day and was listing games compatible.

Oh how i miss that stick. It came with a detachable throttle lever as you can see on the left barely. The rudder control on it was the best also not including real rudder pedals of course. But it was a anagol lever that you could move left and right with your left and on the throttle lever. IT WAS AWESOME. I gotta grab another off of ebay.

[Baron]

It is not a criticism at all. Rather, it clarifies certain things, like for example why the development of the sim took quite some time, and why we cannot expect major changes overnight.


Or: BF 3`s development team, one of the biggest in the world, (now owned by EA) have been working on BF3 for around 4 years. (So far). The budget is closely kept secret but those in the "know" estimates some where between 100 and 200 million....dollars. BF and all its spin offs have been sold in 30 million copy's.(Witch dwarf`s in comparison with Call of Duty`s 55 million copys )


So, have CoD taken a long time to develop? Are we expecting miracles, and gets them on a regular basis? Well, judge for your selfe.

Btw, i agree with u. ;)

Joystick in the box is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro;

I havn't had any experience with logitech joysticks, but that other stick on the desk is a Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro, the pre-cursor to the T.Flight X. I owned the Top Gun, and I currently own the T.Flight X and I can say they're both excellent joysticks for the price you pay;

1. I have no business with the publisher because I have no problem with the way the game is published. All I want is to communicate with the developers.

2. If the developers wants to sell their product outside of Russia they better damn well make sure they have someone speaking English to satisfy these customers. That has NOTHING to do with goodwill. IF that would be the case they need a reality check.

3. If he would start to only post once in 2-3 month you can be sure that he can write a similar future like IL-2's in the wind.

Mods have received too many complaints from angry parents about profanity on 1C games forums.

Guys you may think you are in a adult world, but when something is called a game.... well, it does have appeal to the kiddies too.

Hate to leap in here, but a little clarification would be handy so we don't get ourselves in trouble. What exactly counts as a swearword? I assume the worst words are filtered by the forum, whereas some users 'asterisk' their own swears on occasion. So for example, assuming 'hello' in this case is a swear:

'hello' - ban (obviously)
'h*llo' - ban?
'*****' - ban?

Is it ok to include a swear if it is self-censored, and to what degree?

I ask not because I plan on insulting people, but because some methods of self-censoring are still considered 'swears' by some and not others, and I'd rather know than be caught out by accident. Sticky is locked or I'd have asked there.

There's no need to swear.

The 'clean' English language covers all our needs.

[Orpheus]

I should have known this would happen - for the record, there is no 'clean' English language, only the English language. There are large cultural variations as to what is/isn't acceptable in everyday speech.

I'm just asking for clarification is all, I should have mailed Nearmiss about it directly. It was not my intention to start a 'debate', and this isn't the place for it. :)

Bad yes. but that kinda steez (stuff) happens er'very day,

Keep up the hard work. Always have hope. No matter what. There many of us, I included that know you will succeed. Even though its a rocky start, a very hard difficult start.

Give props (proper recognition) peace to Oleg too. Maybe he can get back into the mix with you guys just for old times sake.

I agree to a point. In Australia 'god dam' is not swearing and Bugger me is not swearing. It's even in a ute commercial here as the main catch cry. I hope this forum is for all countries other than Americans and therefore 'our' acceptable language is ok. The word that came from the phrase 'Storing High in Transport' is pretty mild now and is contantly used in programs, whether on television or radio, in time frames that 'kiddies' hear. The main ones that should be banned are obvious, although there is a brand name that swaps the c and u as the middle letters of a strong swear word.
I suspect it is how these words are used in context. I would like to see people banned when they purposely 'got off their dial' at someone for having a different perception or opinion. Anyway, that's my two bobs worth.

No worries mate. Yeah, store high in transport came about when they shipped manure in the hull of the old ships. The water would soak into the bags, swell up and burst the hulls. They wanted the bags stored higher during transportation so they stenciled S.H.I.T on each bag. Englanders would see masses of manure bags on the dock with S.H.I.T (store high in transport) written on them thus where the naughty word came from.

[jimbop]

... EDIT: Also, re 'store high in transport' - I had no idea that was the origin! ...

That's because this supposed etymology for the word is a load of the old proverbial itself. This word has a long history and there are many related words in other languages and is certainly not derived from acronyms on shipping containers. Not hard to find information if you are interested.

Nice update Ilya.

[AndyJWest]

As a final word on the off-topic s-word: it seems to have deep proto-Indo-European roots, and certainly has nothing to do with sea transportation of manure. See here (http://fartheralong.wordpress.com/2003/12/30/107281521165233123/) (and yes, the word is used here - do I get a ban for this?) for a discussion of the myth, and any decent dictionary for its etymology.

the logitech extreme 3d pro is one of the 2 joystick i ever had and after so much time i am really pleased by it. I dont request really much or too detail from it but it does its job really well. In addition i like very much teh fact that its base is heavy ( stable and less prone to move)
i dont remember what i actually paid but IMHO it does well its job so its worth the money( if doesnt costs much)

I had a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for my laptop as it was more portable than an X52 pro but it only last 3 months of heavy abuse on IL2 before it got twitchy and unreliable. Never going to buy a cheap stick again. The only stick I would consider now is the Thrustmaster Warthog.

Unfortunately I would also put the X52 Pro in the 'cheap stick' class. I have pulled apart and rebuilt both X52 Pro and the Logitech Extreme 3D and am actually more impressed by the internal build quality of the Logitech than the X52. I almost bought the Warthog but decided to build my own stick (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpost.php?p=301053&postcount=50) instead.

I looked at my own post and realize it reads like I was bad-mouthing that joystick. That wasn't my intent at all. The 3d Pro was the first joystick I bought many years ago, and it's still the stick I recommend to people when I'm trying to talk them into trying out a flight sim or space sim. (Oh crap, I just admitted to playing silly spaceship games on this forum, didn't I? :eek:) At $20 it's cheap enough to almost be considered a disposable toy, but it's still good enough to actually play a game. It's a great starter joystick. :)

I know what you mean but I can look past it (.... No pun intended but feel free to groan if you wish!!!! :) )

The great thing about it is that it's not modelled in sector boxes as many older space games are. You can litterally travel from the "northern" most co-ordinate to the "southern" most co-ordinate in a continuous flight (if you're masochistic enough to sit and watch something akin to the old DOS flying through space screensaver for a bout a week or two!)

As I understand it, even though the game's been out something like nearly two years now, and not every star system has been "discovered."

Anyway. Sorry all. Well off topic now. :oops:

[White Owl]

Yes the Evochron (http://www.starwraith.com/main/go.htm) series linked above is polished and some great fun. Highly recommended. Support your friendly local indy game developer! Evochron is made by one guy with a vision.

Allegiance (http://www.freeallegiance.org/) isn't exactly a space sim, but if you like team-based PvP dogfighting in outer space this will satisfy. The game is over ten years old but is kept alive by a fanatically loyal volunteer community.

The X series (http://www.egosoft.com/games/x_rebirth/info_en.php) of games are true space sims. Kind of lacking on the active dogfighting and heavy on the micromanaging tons of fiddly details with your star empire, but still a lot of fun. The new sequel supposedly coming out this year looks like the most visually beautiful spaceship game ever, IMO.

That classic of classics, Freespace is alive, healthy, and steadily growing more awesome all the time thanks to modders at Hard Light productions. (http://www.hard-light.net/) Has any game ever done outer space dogfighting like Freespace? I don't think so.

If you're at all interested in space sims, you need to know about Space Sim Central (http://spacesimcentral.com/), a website and forum set up by a guy dedicated to keeping track of absolutely everything going in with space sims. You'll be surprised at how many independent projects are in the works out there. Mainstream developers have largely left the genre behind, but there's still a lot of talent and dedication outside the big developers.

Speaking of talented independent developers... Shores of Hazeron (http://www.hazeron.com/) is also made by just one guy with a vision, and it's one of the most ambitious bits of game design I have ever seen or heard of. Ever. This is a space sim MMO that promises everything Infinity: Quest for Earth (http://www.infinity-universe.com/) does, with the enormous difference that Hazeron is functioning and playable right now, while Infinity is stuck in a neverending development process that puts Dover to shame. In Shores of Hazeron you design your own character kind of like Spore, explore your homeworld, collect resources, build up an industrial base, design your own spaceships(!!!), fly those spaceships seamlessly from planetary surface to atmosphere to orbit to deep space and all the way back down to some other planetary surface... all smooth, no loading screens. (Ok, ok... there's a loading screen for traveling from one star system to another.) The galaxy and all native life forms populating it are procedurally generated; trillions of possible combinations, so no two systems will ever be alike. Planetary orbits are modeled - including binary and trinary systems with multiple gas giants and dozens of moons - so the heavens are constantly in motion, unlike Eve's and Evochron's stationary stars and planets. My homeworld orbits a gas giant... I have to be careful about when I launch, because if the giant is in the sky I might accidentally launch straight into its atmosphere and burn up. I colonized another moon of the same gas giant, and later when I returned to my homeworld I looked up in the sky and could see the lights of my colony on the moon's surface. I'm starting diplomatic gestures with the empires exploring and colonizing star systems nearby; maybe we'll be allies, maybe we're going to war. And oh yeah... there's opportunity to do some real dogfighting in this game, not just Eve's point and click combat.

Hazeron is in early alpha testing. Only a fraction of the planned features are implemented right now. All the game's graphics and sounds are ugly placeholders. The servers are unstable. The game is buggy as hell. On a busy night there are 40 people online. With all that... it's the best space sim and the best MMO I've ever seen.

But right now I'm enjoying Dover more. :cool:

Smart move by Maddox.

A lot of the (unfounded) criticism from people of this forum was along the lines that Luthier had released an unfinished product and was raking in the cash before selling up and moving on. From reading these posts, uninformed people (like me) could get the impression that Luthier was basically working on his own, muddling around.

The perfect answer is to see a busy office, people buzzing around, working hard and looking like they're really into what they're doing. Especially the evil looking guy in the corner ;)

Glad you got my £30. Looking forward to the future! (Especially Spitfire fixes hint hint lol)

Wasn't that picture that, what the first real american astronauts saw when they were shown the first planned humanoid astronauts, even with the same quotation?

No one knows what he does.

Yah. They all look so misleadingly competent! :rolleyes:

@DasAttorney: I agree, that was a brilliant move. That way, they got away for another week without having to fiddle around with those annoying CoD status updates! ;)

Walshy gets banned for this? are you kidding me what a joke this place has become........ OH I guess I'm next.

Good to see faces with names.. I just picked up CoD yesterday... and I have no doubt that it will grow into the monster that IL2 is in the flight sim world.. My main beef was with the distribution.. I fully understand that the complexity of this sim means that there will be issues.. but as I have been saying for at least the past 6 years.. I have no doubt that 1C will do the right thing.. and we will STILL have the best WWII combat sim on the market..

[Ibis]

Ahh Bearcat, good to see you here m8. If you thought the il2 forums were full of kindergarten posters then what we gave here is pre-school.
I sincerely hope we get a board for adults soon.
You hang in there cobber, don't get too disillusioned, remember age will weary them.
cheers,
Ibis.

Hello Mr Luthier. I am a loyal player of the IL-2 serie. I have been playing it since the first release of the IL-2 back about 10 years ago. And I have bought every add on which were released later.

I have been reading your post on this forum and I just want to ask, are you one of the developer for the IL-2?? It just from the way you post and the material you posted here, it seems that way. And if you are, may I ask you one more thing, are you guys planning to make the eastern front version of the "Cliff of Dover"? I am speaking for all of my friends in China because we all loved the Soviet fighter dynamic campaign in IL-2:1946. If you know of it, can you tell me and the roughly releasing date?? Thanks a lot.

Best wishes
Flanker
