Very nice wallpapers! Oleg and team are doing a great job; all aircraft look realistic and historically correct as far as I know (I'm not particularly knowledgable on detailed features of aircraft design).

In this thread, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=17959, I did offer some constructive comments with regard to historical accuracy in aircraft markings, both RAF and LW, specifically unit/aircraft Identification Codes.

I have to constructively note again that the markings(code letters) on the two Stukas in the Stuka Wallpapers are incorrect...as had been the code letter markings on some Bf110's in an earlier update. A small point, perhaps, but one offered with good intentions and constructively.

The Stuka S2+AC would have been the mount of the Commander of II Gruppe of St. G 77.
S2 would designate St. G77
The third letter refers to the unique aircraft of a 'unit'. Its color is based on the unit/staff it belonged to.
The last letter refers to the Staffel or Gruppe...in this case "C", which is the letter for II Gruppe Stab (staff).
All Gruppe Stab (I., II., and III.) aircraft had Green third letters.
Thus, the "A" on this Stuka should be Green, not white.

The Stuka S2+KC would be the aircraft of some other officer on the II. Gruppe staff, though it would be unusual for it to be a "K" (tenth or so aircraft of the staff), as the Gruppe Staff probably didn't have more than 4 or 5 officers, I should think. Again, the third letter "K" should be Green, not white, because it is a Gruppe staff aircraft.

The use of the older Narrow white-bordered balkankreuz rather than the Wide white-border has been noted in the other thread,as well.

Brevity can indeed be the soul of whit, but it need not be.

no spitfire wallpaper? :cry:

oh well, the hurri will do just fine ;)

great vids too!!!

tis in COD ....Bla,BLA,bla.....yawwwnnnnn.:rolleyes:

The Tracers...
 

Really are perfect.

When viewed from the perspective of the aircraft doing the shooting, or when seen from other angles.

Well done.

And the feeling of flight in the "training" video is leaving me almost speechless.

The old sim is now officially dead.

Long live the King.

And i'm spent....

What about data export capabilities?
 

Hi Oleg,

Nice videos!

I'm Vyrtuoz, the creator of Tacview. A flight analysis tool you probably heard about: http://tacview.strasoftware.com

I always wanted to support IL2 to see how modern flight analysis can improve WWII pilots' skills. But since IL2 data export abilities were reduced to the minimum I was not able to create flight recordings for Tacview by the past.

Will CoD offer more data export capabilities? For example, will it be easy to get aircrafts' coordinates through a script or a SDK?

It is possible to grant me access to a private beta or to a dedicated SDK so I can write an add-on to support CoD for its launch? (I can sign a NDA if required)

You couldn't be more wrong! The RFC had it right! Sim pilots just dont nerve to stick with their slightly damaged aircaft or just can't be bothered landing. Sim pilots sometimes even just jump out on a whim, just to see the pritty visuals or even to go and get a cup of coffee! (Well at least I do ;) )


Also many people with a bailout issue are movie makers. They really want Oleg to send his pilots to method acting classess so they can bailout and look like they mean it!

You're not alone there! Imagine the prospect of the best WWII combat flight sim for 10 years being released, and something as simple as pre ordering a copy of the version you want is next to impossible! There are some issues there.

As the man said, we may need to wait a while!

Cheers!

Beautiful wallpapers & Videos!

ThankS!

Looks very good Oleg, just a couple of weeks to go:grin:
