I haven't read the ENTIRE interview, but I believe Oleg said he will make modding easier (?). I think he meant SFS files and code.

This is almost laughable.

From the Team Daidalos regarding the legal side of mods read this link

And you you need to read the interview as posted by the OP, and also this link

The Team Daidalos will probably continue to update IL2 1946 and if you wanted to submit your 3d modelling to them for approval this is the way to get it included officially.

It won't work as in good old "Maddox fix everything by himself" days. Your model should be done according to the strict technical requirements and without errors to be accepted by Daidalos. There hardly are more then 5 models among all available mods, which would be able to pass their QC at them moment.
From other hand, they, indeed, will be glad help people to understand those requirements and explain, what to be fixed.

4.09m - SOW BOB?
 

"guod: One last question which you can probably guess what it is... when can we download the final v4.09 update?

Oleg: As soon as we are able."

If my memory serves me I would like to ask if anyone here can take an educated guess as to just what state of development SOW is in now, considering that I remember Oleg answered someone asking about the release of the 4.09m final with something like
"4.09 final will only be released when BOB gets to a set point in development".

If Oleg's answer to that question is still valid, it would mean that SOW is in or atleast very close to that "special" milestone in its development doesn't it?

Ofcoarse I could be a bit dillusional and that might be wishful thinking, but still..

Ravenous

Personally I think some beta testing is going on in the v409 release for SoW GUI and other features, so that should tell you they are giving it the polishing up touches and tweaks. But that's pure speculation and not factual.


I would imagine anyone submitting to Team Daidalos wouldn't be submitting the modded "frankenplanes" that are around at the moment :) I hope !!!

I look forwards to the new style of updating IL2 1946 it hopefully will amalgamate the various mod sites out there and get the true 3 D modellers ideas and work officially into the sim/game.
This will hopefully not eliminate the great work the mods have done ie: cockpits etc etc but officially include them to get rid of the online inconsistencies there are at the moment.

Getting the Hyperlobby pilots back on to an official version of IL2 will make for less confusing flying instead of having 3 installations and a 6 way switcher for them all is a pain, not to mention the mission loading errors due to a installed mod.
:cool:

Its funny,on Monday I turned my mods off for the first time in a long time,and flew 408 'clean' with my squad in a server.
Super fast loading,no worries about strange 'problems',and just nice to remember just how good il2 is,after all these years!
To then find out that 409 is going to be released,with added content,made my day.
I wonder if more people will just go back to the 'official' version!

Any features in 4.09 have nothing to do with SoW, as well, as 4.09 external development crew has no connection to SoW development.

I wasn't even thinking of them, when I was writing previous post. Obviously, anyone, suggesting such things to the Daidalos team will be asked to go away.

I was talking about the genuine 3D models, I've seen on AAA and other modding sites. Basically, there is exactly 0 models, which will pass DT quality control from the first attempt and, may be 3-4 planes, which are more or less easy to fix according to the requirements.

Therefore, I believe, there still will be a lots of modders, who won't be ale to comply with the rules and still will be releasing their frankenplanes (including those, built in 3ds max from scratch) as "independent" mods. :)

It could also be that SOW is so far off they have decided to throw us a patch. I guess we will know in September when we finally get to see the SOW in game pic's that Oleg promised us. If we dont get them in September that will be and indication of where we are at, also there is no marketing/official website or system spec's, this kinda tells me we are a long way off. Also the idea that Oleg is beta testing some SOW idea's is surely insane.

Oh, boy...

Could you, please, actually read the interviews? It is clearly stated there, that idea to finalize the 4.09 came from outside of the Maddox Games. If there was no Daidalos team, the 4.09 will remain beta forever.

I was anticipating some bone being thrown to the Il-2 community once Rise of Flight was released. A very necessary thing to try to keep their client base until late 2010 or beyond.
