Development Update - Tuesday August 30th 2011

[luthier]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for making you wait for an update. Here it is!

We’ve been working very hard on multiple aspects of the game. We are pushing with all our might to have the beta version of the upcoming patch ready… Well, sooner than you might think! If nothing goes wrong, it might even be out this very Friday.

As stated earlier, it’ll contain a beta version of the completely new sound (fewer individual engine models, sparse ambience), revamped color processing algorithms, transparent shorelines, and numerous fixes and improvements. It’ll also contain the Bf-109E-4 and E-4/B and at least one new mid-size online map.

Following that, we have other things in the works. We are finally ready to start knocking out SDKs, with the map making SDK being the first one you’ll see – quite soon, too! We’ll release more details on that, and on the plane-making SDK, after the upcoming beta patch is fully tested and goes live.

We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it.

With that, here’s a short video showcasing the new WIP sound. It’s recorded on a deprecated version of the patch, after which we’ve toned down the ocean colors and filled in the sounds. The biggest omission is the turbine whine of the Daimler-Benz. Don’t worry, you’ll hear it in the actual patch.

(I didn’t want to make an update without the video, and by the time I finally captured and spliced it together, the game version advanced way ahead. And by the time I make a new video of the sound as it is today, you’ll all be playing it yourselves!)

nice Update

[drewpee]

Thanks for the update Luthier
Looking forward to the patch.

[LcSummers]

Thanks Luthier for such good news.

Cant wait until Friday to test beta.

Thank you


Cool soud much better than the original.

[desastersoft]

Good One!

Very impressive!

Cheers
Thomas

[Continu0]

Everyone okay? Nobody had a heart-attack when he saw the thread?;)

Sounds good!

What is SDK? software-development-kit?
I am wondering about performance improvement as well...

Thanks for the Post!

[Tree_UK]

Credit where its due those 109's sound superb!! Thank you for the update. :grin:

[furbs]

Now that was great!! loving the 109 start up! :grin:

Cant wait for Friday!!

Luthier, still have to ask....any news on FSAA?

[Ali Fish]

very good news indeed. thanks for information big L and i hope we can all get to some common ground real soon.

AND those sounds really are ok for me, the atmospherics which were always my main concern are there and present. Really proud of your accomplishment there and thanks to 777 sound guy. may this rocky road become flatter for you and everyone else.

[burlaff]

+ Many

[Doc_uk]

Nice update,
And nice to see The german side is getting alot done :rolleyes:,
But?
What about the spitfire sounds? are we getting them or not?

[snwkill]

Thanks for the update Luthier... It is nice to know you haven't given up and hopefully real soon we will have an even more superb flight sim than we already have. Some of us have been having a blast on Syndicate.

[Ze-Jamz]

Brilliant...

[Gamekeeper]

Nice update, looks as though everything is on track to make this the top flight sim for the next decade.

I personally look forward to hearing the Spit, you get that one nailed and I'll have no need of viagra :)

[Vengeanze]

I need to change shorts. Damn I want that patch. Talk about drama.

[Welshman]

love the pop as the 109 started :)

[Fjordmonkey]

It Lives!!! Excellent!

Oh, and the update's sweet as well. Can't wait for my 109 to SOUND like it's a 109 :D

[Bloblast]

Luthier, thanks for the update.

[adonys]

No word on fixing the comms and the comm related AI bugs. Again :(

[Blackdog_kt]

Excellent sounds, thanks for the efforts and keep up the good work.

Also, thread stickied, i hope it will reduce my workload somewhat :-P

[ATAG_Snapper]

Delighted with this update on the upcoming patch. Great video:

The 109's sounded great.
The 110's sounded great.
The locomotive sounded great.
The Spits and Hurries sounded........what? Locomotives??????

Luthier, tell us you're saving the Merlin sounds as "best for last"! LOL

[PeterPanPan]

Superb. Love the external sounds of the 110s flying overhead near the end.

:grin:

PPP

[kilosierra]

Great! Sounds very Messerschmittish!

Love the train too. Now some Merlins and Radials at the same quality!

Hope for a realistic in-cockpit sound of other A/C, IIRC we had once in the old Il-2 some very cool "WOOOMPPP" when other A/C passed. Was replaced by the sonar-sound unfortunatly.

[smink1701]

Luthier, nice to hear from you.;)

[AdamB]

See guys, they can do it, I really hope this will get revenge on some critics of the game. The colours look really good and the new startup sound for the Bf-109 is really nice.

Im itching to get onto the map editor and plane editor and see if we can create some really nice looking Europe maps, and possibly a Pacific - if it will allow us to do that.

Great to know that you guys at 1C havnt left us for the sandy shores of L.A (luthier)

I kid, really pleased with this, look great keep up the good worrk and good luck

AdamB

[philip.ed]

Sounds awesome, and the game looks amazing. +1 to Ali's post. Still a way to go, but this really is a significant step chaps.
The terrain colours look so much better. Bravo!

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

at 1.32 i nearly jumped out of my snakeskin,id got the headphones turned up loud and the whole thing sounded great,this will make me reinstall the game just to fly with those sounds,though if there is no spitfire update shall have to fly german all the time.
thanks for that, excellent.

[Rextar]

Omg you boys are working very hard by the sounds of it,great news!!!

[Strike]

Sweet!

[Havoc04]

Wonderful Update. Thxs for taking the time to give us some good news :)

"We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it."

Now i wonder what this could be? Dynamic Campaign maybe?
Just trying to think of who the competitors would be :)
Fascinating ! :)

Regards

[5./JG27.Farber]

Awesome, good to see some work comming from the mill!

Ermm aircraft SDK, do we as consumers need this right now?

[ElAurens]

Well done Luthier.

Carry on.

[Rextar]

Prayers answered,this could be the start of a great relstionship!:grin:

[Ataros]

Thanks again!

Mentioned on the Russian forums but just in case...
Please do not forget online text briefing page and coop-style interface for plane selection in full-real settings (including mixed dogfight-coop servers).

Looking forward to SDK and new map. Any timeline for Su-26?

[Redroach]

No word on fixing the comms and the comm related AI bugs. Again :(

As I've heard pilots reporting that they're ready for T/O in that video, I expect that there is some progress. Though I hoped for that for every patch so far :rolleyes:

Everybody get ready for some patch-release-pleading to the voodoo fetishes come friday!

[Al Schlageter]

DB601 and Merlin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9o1dBrKkcg&NR=1

[Kodoss]

just to mention the Gunner is also not more chopped at his chest.

Can't wait for the specifics of the A/C-SDK. :grin:

Looks like the patch will be out, before I can get an FX8150-Chip in my hands.:rolleyes:

[JG52Krupi]

Awesome.

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

With the release of the SDK do we know what kind of mod philosophy will be followed in order to provide the highest quality and security in terms of phantasy plane creation?

[WWBayonet]

By Golly, this is just, just....SWELL!
Keep up the good work.

[garengarch]

great work, thank you all.

[seaeye]

really like the long distance sound effects.. this is going to be good!

[kristorf]

Thx for the update ladies and gents

[Trumper]

:) Well what an improvement,look forward to seeing the rest of the updates and also hearing the other sounds.Well done ,keep it up :)

[Mad G]

Dear Sir, thanks for the update, finally! I was concern that you might be MIA or KIA. You´re not, good, so keep us weekly informed, would you?!

Best,

[Tbone81]

ii ii ii ii ii ii iiii iiiii ii i wrooommm...

Nice :grin:

[albx]

great news thank you very much luthier!!! :)

[Raggz]

Thank you very much for this update. Looking forward to this :)

[Flanker35M]

S!

Promising indeed.

[ATAG_Doc]

This got me so excited I almost pooped my pants. I cannot wait!!

[Rattlehead]

Just remember guys, Luthier said maybe by Friday. ;) Just saying, as it seems that some are now fully expecting the patch by Friday.

[Gourmand]

i hope the sounds is different when the canopy is open, and i hope we will listen the gears brakes :rolleyes:

[Sven]

Great news and outstanding sound, hope the supercharger comes soon too! Looking forward to the next patch :grin:

[ATAG_Doc]

Competitors? What's he talkin about?

[DB605]

New sounds are great so far. Also fantastic to see later style 109 (e4) canopy finally.

[jamesdietz]

Vielen Danke!

[Boogz]

Thank you for your continuous efforts which are extremely appreciated.

[Jatta Raso]

Fan-tas-tic!!!

[GOZR]

S L I and Crossfire !!!! Focus on that please !
And it's great to see updates etc.. good work.

[DUI]

Sounds great, looks great - looking forward to the update! :grin:

[anavas44]

Thanks! Spasiba! Gracias! Danke! Merci! Grazie!

[SUP_Trok]

did you fixed all the billion bugs of this game? I am still awaiting the final update.. I want play the complete game that I bought and I never had!!

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

With the release of the SDK do we know what kind of mod philosophy will be followed in order to provide the highest quality and security in terms of phantasy plane creation?

Someone knows?

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

Great update,at last,guys this is good,but don't forget Jafa,for it was he who came to our aid in the need for decent sounds asap,it was he IMO that saved me personally from shelving this game,and giving up on it,and for that I thank you Jafa BIG time.

Meanwhile thanks Luthier,superb.

[Rextar]

did you fixed all the billion bugs of this game? I am still awaiting the final update.. I want play the complete game that I bought and I never had!!

Lets not moan at an update, its coming when its ready.

[Mysticpuma]

Flyby sounds are still a little weak and very noticeable lack of Anti Aliasing (still) but as updates go in a world of silence, it's pretty good.

Love the trains, lets hope we get to see one being strafed in the next video.

Can't wait to see improvements in graphics, cheers, MP

[Mysticpuma]

and Friday is certainly not 'news' day anymore, so no-more threads....plaese!!!!

[Wandalen]

BLODDYHELL ! Now I got a Sudden flashback to when I was a kid and was standing in front of the tree the day before Christmas Eve and was looking at all the packages :grin: :-D

Thanks!

[BlitzPig_Voidcracker]

So what is this 22MB update that Steam just installed in my CloD?

[ATAG_Doc]

did you fixed all the billion bugs of this game? I am still awaiting the final update.. I want play the complete game that I bought and I never had!!

You lie! You only want to complain and by your admission don't own it thus not eligible for posting here. Go away you troll!

[pupo162]

i hope the sounds is different when the canopy is open, and i hope we will listen the gears brakes :rolleyes:

from my very low expeirence on vintage tail draggers, i didnt hear gear brakes ever.

[LoBiSoMeM]

You lie! You only want to complain and by your admission don't own it thus not eligible for posting here. Go away you troll!

Here too... I don't know what it is, but I like it! LOL!

[raaaid]

wow souns amazing :)

[akodonnell]

Did anyone else's copy of CoD just update when they started Steam?

[Rextar]

So what is this 22MB update that Steam just installed in my CloD?

It wasnt a cod update.

[pupo162]

It wasnt a cod update.

it was. i got it too.

[Zerotown]

It wasnt a cod update.

Are you sure? Because when I started Steam it first told me it was updating the Steam-client, after which it booted to my library and proceeded to download some CLOD-related content.

[Bobb4]

I got it to, 22mb. No change in version number so I guess it is steam VAC related? ;)

[skouras]

Did anyone else's copy of CoD just update when they started Steam?

yes me too
i fire up the sim and i didn't notice something
maybe something to prepare the sim for the beta
nice update
and can't wait for the E4

[Zerotown]

Version number lists as 1.02.14821.. that's the old number, right?

[Richie]

Credit where its due those 109's sound superb!! Thank you for the update. :grin:
:)

[ATAG_Snapper]

[Doc_uk]

Are we getting volume sliders for the new sounds like in A10-c Warthog
Cockpit volume slider
Engine volume slider
world volume slider
radio volume slider
:):grin:

[Ailantd]

I was thinking about post this or not... but I have to say it. I don´t like the new colors. All the photographic feel of old vivid colors are gone. Now this is what I call washed colors, but yes, this is the normal in video games and even movies today. But I really prefer the real life colors we have now ( pre patch ). There are some colors too much bright and too much green, of course, but wash out all the picture like its now in the new patch is not the good solution. Now we have a dark and rainy day even with no clouds and blue sky. Even inside the cockpit. The pre patch shadows in the cockpit are really really amazing. Now all that its gone. I wish they come back to the actual colors, fixing only that texture colors that are too much vivid and only increasing distant blue haze. An option to have hollywood washed colors and even WOP green effect for that people that never go outside and only know the nature from a tv screen could be a solution for that people too.

Otherwise the sound is amazing.

I must say that I have to agree. Colours are vivid in real life. Some however don't seem to have a real life, don't go outside or are brainwashed by Hollywood to believe that nature is de-saturated.

[skouras]

i didn't notice any big difference of the shandows in the cockpit in this video
for me it looks great
but lets wait until flying the beta ;)

[robtek]

Are we getting volume sliders for the new sounds like in A10-c Warthog
Cockpit volume slider
Engine volume slider
world volume slider
radio volume slider
:):grin:

And enable the "good ol' sound radar" with that??

I shure hope not!!!

[von Pilsner]

No word on fixing the comms and the comm related AI bugs. Again :(

I am hopeful the SP will be fixed very soon! :D

[JG53Frankyboy]

we all know that the buglist of CoD is long, some of them small some of them big.

its doubtfull that this next patch will fix them all :D
but i am sure this WIP update today does not include the complete feature list of the comming patch ;)
We will see what all got fixed, and what not, when it is installed .................

[|ZUTI|]

Map making SDK, did I get that right? Well then, I might be back in!

NICE!

[philip.ed]

I must say that I have to agree. Colours are vivid in real life. Some however don't seem to have a real life, don't go outside or are brainwashed by Hollywood to believe that nature is de-saturated.

Many of us have flown over blighty numerous times or live there. The colours the game currently shows are far from realistic. The colours in the video look a lot closer to RL, but as you say, aren't as vivid. IMHO these are much closer to reality than the current game presents, but we'll see shortly.
The terrain colours in the game are currently terrible. A lot of this is to do with the lighting system, but realy the whole configuration needs re-working.

[esmiol]

thx for update and great sound !

good work all team!

[ATAG_Bliss]

Wow @ the sounds!

Thanks for the update :)

[JG14_Jagr]

Don't judge any coloring or graphical issues until you see them first hand with your own settings. It can change a LOT.. picture of a picture etc.

[yellonet]

Mmm... very nice :)

I'm completing my new PC tomorrow... nice timing huh? ;)

[skouras]

Don't judge any coloring or graphical issues until you see them first hand with your own settings. It can change a LOT.. picture of a picture etc.

correct

[Pitti]

Really really great!!
I can't wait to get it. :)

[mcler002]

OMG - speech less!!!

So glad I'm getting my asus G74SX tomo! Hopefully will have access to clod on the move :D :D :D

Looking good for friday and the weekend!!!!!

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

Don't judge any coloring or graphical issues until you see them first hand with your own settings. It can change a LOT.. picture of a picture etc.

Agreed. But as we had images of the old version in comparison at the same time I got the impression that it was well de-saturated.

But the sounds sound really nice now. Need still some work but a huge leap in the right direction. Well, ROF is outstanding in terms of sound and as it is the same guy I did not expect less. Kudos to this artist.

[ElAurens]

DB601 and Merlin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9o1dBrKkcg&NR=1

I was in the crowd there that day.

[gflinch]

I think I just wet my self! Its really amazing what sounds do!, thanks Luthier!

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

Yeah, we still miss this whizzling sound. But it is beta so perhaps in the release we get the full sound. Congrats though to this major improvement.

[Pato Salvaje]

:shock::shock:
Just... Amazing! good job Luthier!! keep it coming!

A question: What about the Spitfire´s sound´s?... I hope it will be in the patch...;)

[PissyChrissy]

"We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it."

Any speculation as to what this is?

[klem]

Just remember guys, Luthier said maybe by Friday. ;) Just saying, as it seems that some are now fully expecting the patch by Friday.

Just thought I'd bump that to keep the testosterone levels down.

Thanks Luthier, hoping for Friday.

Is it time for an updated roadmap?

[katdogfizzow]

Cheers! Applause!

[Rather peeved]

sounds great. thanks for keeping us up to speed luthier.

Can i suggest one thing - the single biggest thing you could do to make england look like england is to place hedges on the borders of the fields.

I believe such a move would radically change the look of the landscape.

France looks good by the way.

[Jaws2002]

Oh boy. Just listen to those 110's coming in.:o

Just imagine when we come in screaming, with few of those full of bombs and maybe mineshells, to visit the poor Brits warming up their Spits at Hawkinge.:lol::mrgreen:

They'll pi$$ their pants.:mrgreen:

Can't wait.:lol:

[ATAG_Bliss]

Haha!

I'll be there right with ya Jaws :-D

[SG1_Lud]

Sweet!!!

Also it seems to me:

a) the shadows doesn't flicker anymore
b) the water and wave animation has been updated.

Anyway, waiting for that beta.

Cheers!

[GF_Mastiff]

Everyone okay? Nobody had a heart-attack when he saw the thread?;)

Sounds good!

What is SDK? software-development-kit?
I am wondering about performance improvement as well...

Thanks for the Post!

SDK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_kit is the program language for making changes. it tools hackers use in games and others.

on ths side note I hope I can eat my words about this new version of IL2 Cliffs Of Dover game; soon!

so far I'm impressed with the distance sounds. But why was there no explosions still?

[ReconNZ]

thats great, thanks Luthier! We just love the updates from you so we know that this brilliant game is still being worked on and is moving forward!

Also despite what the nay sayers say, many of us can see the potential and are already having loads of fun with this game - I for one would be happy to pay for additional content to keep the development ticking over, and indeed i intend to purchase a second copy of this game once this new patch is finalised.

[Hunden]

Are we getting volume sliders for the new sounds like in A10-c Warthog
Cockpit volume slider
Engine volume slider
world volume slider
radio volume slider
:):grin:
Doc volume slider

[trumps]

great update, looking forward to the patch, cheers for the effort all involved.

Cheers
Craig

[PhilG]

Excellent!! Amazing sounds there Luthier. ME109,ME110 and steam engine sounds are very realistic and will add loads to the realism of the sim. I can't wait to here the Merlin sounds for the Spitfire and Hurricane too.

Keep up the good work. You're doing a great job!

[drewpee]

New patch should come with a INCONTINENCE WARNING judging by the number of guys wetting themselves.

[xnomad]

I love the bipolar, high-strung attitude of some people here. Everyone gets so excited (OMG you guys rock, best news ever!!!) and then so bummed (buggiest game ever, the sky is falling down, this game is doomed).

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the dev's hard work and I'm looking forward to the patch but some of you guys need to calm down, you act like the patch is going to fix everything and then a few hours after release you are on the forums complaining about bugs/features because you expected too much.

You guys need to be more realistic, it's complex software, things will go wrong, new bugs will appear etc. Just bear that in mind when the patch comes out and you won't get a shock if something else breaks. Also don't forget it's BETA. ;)

[smink1701]

Sweet!!!

Also it seems to me:

a) the shadows doesn't flicker anymore
b) the water and wave animation has been updated.

Anyway, waiting for that beta.

Cheers!

When inside the plane the shadows seem to still be flickering. Outside the plane they never did flicker...me thinks;)

[Wolf_Rider]

have to wait there until release, to see exactly what is going on there though...

flickery cockpit shadow edges seems to be a DX/ AA thing, as the shadow edges creepy crawl in other sims too.

[hc_wolf]

Did you all miss the changes that the 22mb download just delivered ???

Ok so I have been up for about 36 hours playing IL@COD and working on a new Dynamic AI Air & Ground units campaign setup that is smaller and faster for servers online.

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25707

BUUUT!!!

As soon as I saw the download happening. I deleted my Cache files, Deleted my config files and then went into my properties on Steam and checked th cloud ini file thing and did a data file validation. All was good no changes there.


Loaded IL2, set options to FULL Graphics and 8xaa and sson on (whatever) and ran 30 seconds of single mission over english coast. Both in cockpit and outside.

yes flickering and crap. But the speed of looking around the cockpit and the visual inside cockpit was smoother and WAY FASTER.

So I think the 22mb download was a little fix to DX and AA maybe..

Anyway a noticible improvement in smoothness from what was already good on my rig.

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25707

[tk471138]

good update even better on day i get my power back...the is exactly what the community wants to hear and even better you made a video...above and beyond what we are asking for here, all we want is communication..

[dash2099]

Patience is always rewarded, great work guys!

[LoBiSoMeM]

You're smoothness might just be a result of clearing all the cache. I haven't noticed anything different after the 27mb update.

No, he's 100% right!

I clean cache every new patch. Do the same now. HUGE performance increase.

Again...

HUGE performance increase, really amazing! I launch the quick mission over London, all highest, even SSAO, but without native FSAA (still don't working right) and Land Detail on "medium" No stutters bigger than tiny ones in knows streaming spots, no more crazy highres textures stopping fluid gameplay! Really great! Maybe here I noticed more gains in performance than Wolf because my rig is much more modest.

And after I launch my "test mission" over Dover! I was much more happy! The anoying stutters when you start engaging big bombers formations are almost gone! I'm uploading a video now, really big gains in performance, and I can't say it's "placebo" or just cache cleaning... Something BIG change in this "shadow" tiny patch!

And I'm VERY HAPPY! :-P

[NedLynch]

Sorry, but I have to ask since I just don't know.

The patch will be a beta. Will this be downloaded automatically via steam or will it have to be installed manually via a download link?

Never used a beta patch before. Thanks for any answers in advance. :-D

And of course the sounds in the vid are awesome. All in all I really like what I am seeing there.

[icarus]

I cleared the cache etc. and got a performance boost. Not huge, but noticable.

[Towarisch]

WOOOOOOOOHHHHHIII:grin:;). THATS a sound. And it is not ready, yet. :grin::grin:. COD-Folk buy this cool Sim. Thanks luthier for all of this good News, and for your and teams HARD work.

Have a good last summer days


Towarisch

[ATAG_Doc]

Yes. Play was already good but now wow it's much more fluid play now. Very noticeable indeed. Great work!

[Helrza]

Thanks for the update luthier :) lookin forward to the patch :D

[Blackdog_kt]

so far I'm impressed with the distance sounds. But why was there no explosions still?

It's just that the video cuts before the low-altitude bomb fuse delay expired. It takes 14 seconds from bomb impact (which we see in the video) to detonation when using the low altitude fuse. (using the high altitude one the bombs don't explode at all, not enough "falling time" to arm themselves).



Sorry, but I have to ask since I just don't know.

The patch will be a beta. Will this be downloaded automatically via steam or will it have to be installed manually via a download link?

Never used a beta patch before. Thanks for any answers in advance. :-D

And of course the sounds in the vid are awesome. All in all I really like what I am seeing there.

Official patches are downloaded via Steam. Beta patches are distributed by links given out in a thread similar to this (posted by Luthier and stickied by the mods) and they are usually compressed archives using the .rar format.

What you do is download it on your PC and then extract it into the main game folder (steam\steamapps\common\il2-sturmovik cliffs of dover). It will ask you to overwrite already existing instances of some files, allow it. If for any reason you want to roll back to the previous official (non-beta) patch, simply running a file verification through steam will detect the altered files and replace them with the last known "approved" configuration as per the latest official patch.

[Phazon]

New sounds are excellent. Thankyou for the video. :)

[SiThSpAwN]

Very nice... cant wait!

A nearly well-functioning Cliffs of Dover ;-)

[fireflyerz]

Hmmmmm....

[tintifaxl]

Thank you for the info. It is very appreciated by me.

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

I cleared the cache etc. and got a performance boost. Not huge, but noticable.

how to clear cache please
thanks

[smokincrater]

Hopefully this will shut up the doubters

[grunge]

Very nice sounds! Now the 109 is alive! Hope that it will run smooth as i can enjoy the palne :)

Thanks for the update, and keep up the good work!

[furbs]

This patch if all goes well will fix some things that are broken, the sound in that video is fantastic!...but there is still alot more to fix.
The list is long and this is another step towards a working, releasable version of CLOD.
It seems they are working and will carry on working...so its good news. :grin:

Im sooooooooo looking forward to testing that 109 start up! :)

[Bonkin]

Sounds really great.

Just like to echo some of the other posts made in this thread - don't expect too much as this is still a beta. (I am looking forward to hearing a merlin though :))

[SNAFU]

Thanks for the update information. I hope the change log is as promising as the video, but nevermind, I´ve got patience. ;-)

how to clear cache please
thanks

Go to you C:/User/Document/1C Soft Club/Cliffs of Dover - Folder, find the folder Cache and delete all files inside this folder and inside the subfolder, but do not delete the subfolder itself. But beaware, that all downloaded skins will be gone and you have to transmit all the skins again, in case you are regularly flying with fellas and got used to their skins. ;-)

[150GCT_Veltro]

Finally, something good. Nice update, thank.

[Trumper]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for making you wait for an update. Here it is!

We’ve been working very hard on multiple aspects of the game. We are pushing with all our might to have the beta version of the upcoming patch ready… Well, sooner than you might think! If nothing goes wrong, it might even be out this very Friday.

As stated earlier, it’ll contain a beta version of the completely new sound (fewer individual engine models, sparse ambience), revamped color processing algorithms, transparent shorelines, and numerous fixes and improvements. It’ll also contain the Bf-109E-4 and E-4/B and at least one new mid-size online map.

Following that, we have other things in the works. We are finally ready to start knocking out SDKs, with the map making SDK being the first one you’ll see – quite soon, too! We’ll release more details on that, and on the plane-making SDK, after the upcoming beta patch is fully tested and goes live.

We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it.

With that, here’s a short video showcasing the new WIP sound. It’s recorded on a deprecated version of the patch, after which we’ve toned down the ocean colors and filled in the sounds. The biggest omission is the turbine whine of the Daimler-Benz. Don’t worry, you’ll hear it in the actual patch.

(I didn’t want to make an update without the video, and by the time I finally captured and spliced it together, the game version advanced way ahead. And by the time I make a new video of the sound as it is today, you’ll all be playing it yourselves!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdJsck3r3lQ
I thought i would bump this bit as sometimes conversation goes abit awry so to keep focussed.

[Sammi79]

Thanks for the update. Its starting to look and sound great. Can't wait for the release!

[Bobb4]

;) Great update. As my faith failed Lutheir revived it.
Great job on the sound from the video. Am I to assume all planes will have sound? I refer to the black death track were the 110's are silent :grin:

[jimbop]

Thanks for the update - looking forward to testing. Is it my imagination or are the water reflections improved?

[Tvrdi]

good news Luthier...

whats up with the game optimisations?

[Skoshi Tiger]

Just wondering...

will the new sound engine introduce the 'drumming' or 'beat' from interference patterns in the sound from unsynchronised propellers in multiengine aircraft? (Hey! even two similar planes flying in close formation at similar revs should even introduce the phenomena!)

I've never actually observed it any other sim I've flown but it'd be a useful feedback to get those engines working together.

Oh! By the way, great update!

Thanks!

[easytarget3]

the update looks very good indeed!thank you! Although iam still waiting to get the game more improve gameplay related, and the multi to work properly, so it good to hear you getting there, i have it installed and hope the time comes and i wont have to just doing single mission with no reward or replaybility over and over.:)

[topgum]

Hello Tiger,
I don't know either what "SDK" means, maybee "StraussDomeniqueKahn":)

Thx four the thrill!

Everyone okay? Nobody had a heart-attack when he saw the thread?;)

Sounds good!

What is SDK? software-development-kit?
I am wondering about performance improvement as well...

Thanks for the Post!

[6BL Bird-Dog]

Nice update, thanks.

[Mechanist]

We also have a rather cool new major feature almost ready. It’s not going to make this patch. In order to keep the competitors squirming, we won’t say what it is until we’re ready to release it.
Any speculation as to what this is?

Regarding to the "new major feature" and the "In order to keep the competitors squirming" statements, it has to effect everybody no mather what side or plane he/she plays, and competitors (I think RoF and DCS) shouldn't have it so far.

Guess #1 Dynamic weather system - obviously lacking in any combat sim

Guess #2 Improved dynamic lighting system - Landing lights, navigation lights, ambient city/town lights, light pollution, improved vehicle lights, etc.

Guess #3 Ground operations - you can start from outside the plane, the ground crew will take care of you plane, like rearming and refueling (all animated), you can get in static planes, etc

[xnomad]

Wow it's pretty much identical to the real thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50JXKxMLyUc

[furbs]

Yep...100% spot on :)

[rickster]

Looks and sounds good.Like everyone else,waiting for the Merlin sounds.

[Varrattu]

Did you recognize the different 109-canopy in the Luthier video?

Did you see any prop pitch lever in the new video??

I am nearly sure that we can expect another BF109E version!!

Happy landings

Varrattu

[caprera]

Thanks Luthier, nice to see new planes are being added already, but wasn't this update about performances as well ?

[mungee]

BRILLIANT! Can't wait!!

Thanks Luthier & your team!

[Ali Fish]

usually by page 17 were in a bit of a twizzle. once again thanks devs !

[kakkola]

Thx for the update!
I hope for some improvement in performance too cuz a still have big stutters with grass or trees on!!!
Thx again!!!!!!!

It is the Bf 109 E-4


The for the update Luthier and co. Especially love the in cockpit sounds

[Richie]

I finally put part 2 up after a few years. He lands in the end. Added some nice pics too.

Put the two videos, Luthier's and Richie's, side by side...if you listen to the inside cockpit sounds in both, they are almost identical.

[Richie]

That's great :)

[FlyingShark]

Indeed, thanks for posting this.

~S~

[TUSA/TX-Gunslinger]

Thanks Luthier!!!!!!

Did I hear the start of a stall buffet in that clip right before throttle up?

Bf 109-E4
The prop pitch lever is on the throttle
also the canopy is a little different
also i hope it has mineshells

[skouras]

seems the 777 guy do his job pretty well :-D

[Flanker35M]

S!

Also note that the Bf109E propellor does NOT spin now BEFORE the inertia starter is engaged. This is correct :) Before it spun when you pressed I and it was revving up. Will see what the update brings to the table when released..

[Vengeanze]

So I read it that Luthier promised us the beta this friday!!!

Man, new page popping ain't as much fun as it was in the Ubi forums.

[JZG_Con]

looking forward to this ..hope i can download out here , lol....

[Ze-Jamz]

I think you need to re-read it, Luthier specifically didn't promise any date.

yes PLEASE TAKE NOTE..:)

I can see this all going t*ts up again if its not released.

[ElAurens]

Also take note about the number of different engine sounds, or lack thereof.

[David198502]

Closer inspection of the video and I'm shocked I didn't notice the change of the prop-pitch lever earlier. Nice one!

Side note: Can anyone else take off as smoothly as they did in the video? It seems my takeoffs are always a tug of war between gravity and myself, as I try to get the plane up before the wheels disintegrate and the plane noses over. I've never had a takeoff in the 109 on CoD that just smoothly lifted from the tarmac like the video.... :(

same to me!if the plane reaches 200km/h the nose will tilt over.but i dont use the flaps for takeoff.maybe thats the difference?
or they changed the physics as they claimed in the last update i think.

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

Thanks for the update information. I hope the change log is as promising as the video, but nevermind, I´ve got patience. ;-)

thanks Snaf,do i have to do this if ive just installed the game again or not?
thanks

thanks Snaf,do i have to do this if ive just installed the game again or not?

Better to do it before you reinstall or patch at least thats what I do.

[Norseman]

-bit late in here but great news !-)

Also from U sir!
Map making SDK, did I get that right? Well then, I might be back in!

NICE!
Looking fwd !!

If this is refers to a dynamic campaign it'll be a while before I can stand up. :rolleyes:

[Blackdog_kt]

Guess #3 Ground operations - you can start from outside the plane, the ground crew will take care of you plane, like rearming and refueling (all animated), you can get in static planes, etc

I'd say any of the above, plus Guess#4:
The ability to schedule flights to start under AI control and plan waypoints for them from within the server lobby, pick a couple of aircraft and password protect them, then spawn into a bomber midway towards the target.

Not so useful now, but very useful for future add-ons with bigger maps/distances to fly: set up those B-17s to take off while you're at work, spawn into your aircraft somewhere over the North Sea once you're back home and finished dinner, fly the interesting part of the mission, then hand the aircraft back to AI control if you want to skip the trip home, instead of having to fly anywhere between 3-6 hours for a complete sortie.

All of it tracked by an online dynamic campaign stats system, so that the extra incentive to nurse your crippled bomber home is there instead of leaving it to the AI to both the emergency landing.


Or Guess #5, the dynamic campaign itself.

Well, we can dream, can't we? :-P
After all things do seem to be definitely looking up currently, beyond any reasonable doubt.



Thanks Luthier!!!!!!

Did I hear the start of a stall buffet in that clip right before throttle up?

S!

Gunny

Didn't notice this, but i could hear the landing gear motors after the take off.

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

hi Icarus, interesting but until i run the game for the 1st time after reinstalling,there is no softclub stuff or folder in my docs.

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

also is it best to have steamcloud ticked or not. at The moment its not?
thanks

[Catseye]

I've never had a takeoff in the 109 on CoD that just smoothly lifted from the tarmac like the video.... :(

I notice that he has about 10 degrees of flap on. I use that amount also with fine pitch and a little nose up trim and it will take of smoothly. I keep nudging the trim wheel near takeoff speed and it will nose up very smoothly. Then comes the fun for cleaning up for flight.
Cheers

[kendo65]

Great stuff. Love the sounds and the improved colours. It's looking much more natural than before.

Nice to see a thread full of praise too after 20 pages.

My guess for cool new feature - DX11!!! or new clouds. (Don't think the dynamic campaign will be ready yet.)

Nice vid! What is SDK?

[furbs]

The take off is smooth because its the A.I in control.

[Meusli]

Nice vid! What is SDK?

Standard developers kit I think, a program that will allow basic access to make things for games without giving the game code away.

[Towarisch]

Hi again, luthier. Present you US this Friday the Beta ??? ...mmm...mmmh...mmmhh, did you;) .That´S like Christmas;)

Once again......thank you and your TEAM for the HARD work.

Towarisch

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

Hopefully the new feature will be an uber AI with capabilities that are in the domain of realism but with intelligence. For me this is the hot topic right now.

[whatnot]

The new sounds sound great even on my laptop's puny-ass speakers! Thanks for the update!

I wonder how the sound tuning will affect the MGs and Cannons if at all..

[Bonkin]

Standard developers kit I think, a program that will allow basic access to make things for games without giving the game code away.

Incorrect abbreviation but correct meaning. SDK is Software Development Kit. Essentially its a set of software libraries that can be used programmatically to access functions within the game code. To be really useful to developers you need good documentation also - so hopefully it will be provided to a better standard than the user manuals.

[mazex]

Friggin awesomeness! I love both the sounds and the new colors, but maybe most the external sounds :) Is that really what it will sound like? Mmm...

[r0bc]

Looks good, cant wait to try it.

[Meusli]

Cheers, I knew I was wrong some where in that. :)

[skarden]

Those sounds are great,a vast improvement.
Thanks for the heads up Big L :)

[M1sF1rE]

Now that terrain looks much more natural. Knowing that the SDK's are coming I feel much better about the future of this game.

Nice update...

[Jonk]

I don't think the surprise will be a dynamic campaign, after all, it has already been done, and won't have any competitors squirming. Hopefully its something bigger!


What could possibly be bigger than the DC?! Unless it is a super DC ala Falcon 4 style. That would put this leaps and bounds ahead of any other sim, especially if it's online friendly.

[voyager_663rd]

This was a video of a spit, 109 and a hurri (behind the spit till they taxi out) start up. They were only about 50' away from me at the time.

The spit was like a cadillac purring, the 109 was brute force, the hurri--well, you decide.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOy2sy7WxHI

[capt vertigo]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

F-bombin' awesome!!

Thx for the update Luthier!!

[MegOhm]

Thanks again!

Mentioned on the Russian forums but just in case...
Please do not forget online text briefing page and coop-style interface for plane selection in full-real settings (including mixed dogfight-coop servers).

Looking forward to SDK and new map. Any timeline for Su-26?

Amen! Ditto on the COOP, Until My squadmates and I can fly together in decent missions whether same side or opposing, we remain in IL2 46 UP mods

Encouraged...but not convinced

On the video... Noticing the TrackIR movements... I would love to know what settings Luthier uses with this "SIM" for his TIR, looks real smooth there.
To me, the present iteration does not seem to be optimized for TIR

[Shagrathss]

i can't wait anymore! nice work but where is the update!!!???

[Goanna1]

I am suitably Impressed by all the work
Thanks , Luthier and team, can't wait to try your hard work out
Looks like you are showing up your detractors, as the old-timers here knew you would!!

[Tavingon]

See guys, they can do it, I really hope this will get revenge on some critics of the game. The colours look really good and the new startup sound for the Bf-109 is really nice.

Im itching to get onto the map editor and plane editor and see if we can create some really nice looking Europe maps, and possibly a Pacific - if it will allow us to do that.

Great to know that you guys at 1C havnt left us for the sandy shores of L.A (luthier)

I kid, really pleased with this, look great keep up the good worrk and good luck

AdamB


Spot on comment, this will be a great game for years to come :)

[Ploughman]

Thanks for dropping us line. Looking forward to checking out this content. Be interesting to see how the SDKs, especially the aircraft SDK when its released, works out. Will we see new third party content providers sprouting up or will the established providers decide to get involved? Whatever happens things will get very interesting very quickly.

[Richie]

I have a friend on this forum who drove me nuts with his negativity before COD came out. When it came out he was right about a lot of things but now things are swinging to my bright and sunny out look on this sim so it looks like we're both going to be happy :)

How is the game for you Richie? :cool:

[Richie]

I like it Philip I have what I think is a good base for it First off a Lian Li P-80 case with the biggest Noctua cooler you can get An Asus P6t deluxe an i7 975 cpu corsair 1000 watt ps 12 gigs of Corsair ram and a high mid range card a MSI GTX 560. I'll get a faster one later. So far it works very well. On syndicate up high it gets about 50 fps and down lower 30 I think..I'll check later. It cost though lol. One of the big hits was that case but look at the reviews it gets.

I still have this..I won't use the language I want to use.... Extreme 3d pro Logitech stick that I hate with a passion. It's so stiff I call it "The elephant's erection" I'm sure I've missed many a kill because of it. I have to find another that suits me. :(

LOL...same here, but I was not willing to spend another € 135,00 for new a Saitek X52 pro. IMO it's good looking but unfortunately cheesy processed. The Extreme 3D Pro is not sexy, but it works and is rock solid....although from now on I can't get the "The elephant's erection" out of my head :)

[Friendly_flyer]

Oooooo, the start up noises are great! I'm very much looking forward to hearing the new sounds!

[philip.ed]

Cheers for that Richie! That's a brilliant rig you have too! LOL at the 'elephant's erection'. Brilliant metaphor lol.

IDK. I can't help but think the elephant got the short end of the deal.

[Richie]

Well I'll give points to the manufacturer for sturdiness, they are built very well. I've always liked the feel of the single springer sticks like the old Saiteks. They have a nice smooth constant feel to them. I had a Cyborg Gold and loved it but sadly they're not as robust as the Logitechs.

[Richie]

I was wondering what the new map would be. A nice desert like map would be really cool. We have all of the aeroplanes for it and all of the skinners could whip us up some skins in a hurry. I see there's one 109 skin here.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I1llNUW5Fw

[GS_Hunger]

This Dev.-Update is just a new startup for hope in case of CoD.

A Desert Scenario would be nice, but Buildings, Trees, Vehicle-Skins so on are missing, think bout that.

;-)

[ATAG_Doc]

So tomorrow we're going to get a set of Beta sounds??

[Fjordmonkey]

if everything going well as expected we will get it :-P

[caprera]

Am i misunderstood or there was supposed to be a patch about better performances and color setting ?

Maybe that was an update on what they are working on ?

[Hunden]

i can't wait anymore! nice work but where is the update!!!???

There was a limited release of the patch. If you didn't get it in time you will have to wait until next Friday.:(:-D

[ATAG_Doc]

It'll be pretty sweet to just start the motor over and over just to hear it. Can't wait. Hopefully 24 hours from now I will be @ home and enjoying them.

Understood, so is this beta a soon to be "official" release, or is it a beta of a soon to be released mod from a designer on the forurm? I'd just like to know if one does not like the release, or it makes things worse, that it can be uninstalled, sorry for my igonorance, I dont know if Luthiar works for the Maddox team. I dont have a ton of time to follow the forums, what time I do have I enjoy playing the game.

The beta will be out for a week or two before made official release.
So if you don't like it then you can reinstall via Steam to get to pre-beta (i.e. latest patch).

Luthier is the nickname that Ilya Shevchenko, the Lead Development Producer at 1C-SoftClub (according to his facebook profile), use here on 1C forum.
In the abscenes of a community manager Luthier is the one that keeps in contact with the community.

Thanks so much, sounds good. So If I didnt like the beta, I would have to reinstall the entire game? I'll probably wait and see what others think, however Im sure it will be quite nice. Thanks again for taking your time to assist.

no need to reinstall, just a file check with steam.

To quote Luthier:
If nothing goes wrong, it might even be out this very Friday


Please tell me nothing has gone wrong ;)

[Shagrathss]

every half hour i come here to see if anything goes wrong... :-? it drives me crazy...

[UberDemon]

Howdy. If anyone could share with me when the beta is available, I would appreciate it.

I purchased my copy online and have been tweaking it for a few days. The graphics are no doubt stunning.

[Shado]
