They'll probably slap a security tax in it too.

In German it's the other way around.

:confused:

Since when is a "Bach (stream)" larger than a "Fluss (river)"?

yours truely "perplexed"

Gromic

Stream also means Strom, and a Strom is larger than a river, in german.
Komm schließlich von da! ;)
But in English a Strom is called major or large river, so its a multiculti misunderstanding ;)

Yeah, we have the word "ström" in Swedish. This is getting a bit off topic though.:)

Geil, ich auch und sitze z.Z. 25km Südlich von Aschaffenburg in Bayern.

Anyway, I'm sure "stream", refers to small, winding bodies of water that usually intersect with a river, entity of water, etc.

Stream in the sense of "strom'"would pertain, for example, to the gulf stream which, IS much larger than a river.

hehe - sorry for going OT. Language can be fun.

cheers

In Yorkshire a very small stream would be called a beck, which seems so similar to your German bach they must be related.

True about the rivers, makes England look like the mouth of the Amazon. I know it rains here a bit, but not that much.

@gromic
Ich sitze so ziemlich genau in der Mitte zwischen Augsburg und Ulm ;)

So now BTT.

Anyone knows if we'll be able to change subtitle language?

I'm from czech republic and I can preorder collector's edition here, but it will be english audio and czech subtitles. And I really don't want to have menus and briefings in czech. From my experience it tends to be confusing, when I'm more accustomed to specific terms in english.

very nice oleg ,,,very nice and well worth waiting for ,,,,but the under camo paint on the spits is wrong for the battle ,,all had beeen painted sky or duck eg blue by july,,except 92 sqdn who had sky underneath but the port wing was black and the roundel had a yellow outer ring

I would not worry too much. Those are not the default skins, so I would expect that they have been included so that it is possible to make missions prior to the Battle of Britain.

With regards to serial number, if the game can't handle having a list of each serial number for every plane which flew in the battle (which is perfectly understandable) it would be quite cool if we were able to type a number in which would then appear as the serial code. Many people have access to the serial codes for particular planes which flew, so this would help to make the skin historically accurate.
It doesn't bother me personally, but I can see such a feature being useful if the game hasn't already been programmed with the known serial coded planes which flew (RAF).

The FMB may have changed since then, but anyway:

(just noticed there's only one slider for the weathering in this menu; maybe this has only been included afterwards)

Very interesting, thanks for that Kraken, I missed that. ;)
Great minds think alike :-P

Pretty sure you got that from us Danes during the Danelaw. Here we call it "bæk", and it is pronounced exactly as "beck".

here some nice detail screens from Luthier

Nice Rodolphe - that railroad track colour change really looks good !

you see better the different to the road

Wow are those screens taken in sim? Very detailed nice! They look like photographs.

...Pegi 16 my arse! :cool:

this doesnt seem like it will be in game... I think they are talking about some calender with pin-up girls and renders of the planes in CoD.

I dont think this content will be found "in game"

This pics are great, but not from the in-game renderer, although they do obviously use the in-game models. I'm still hoping for some more complex lighting in the final game, as was shown in some previous shots (my very own pet peeve ;)). Makes a huge difference to the appearance and the result could be pretty close to what these screens show.

Oh and thanks to NSU for posting them!

So a Russian girl is advertizing a game about a conflict between Great Britain and Germany wearing an American Betty Page outfit?? There is so much wrong with that...

Also rail lines are highly reflective especially in moonlight, but i suspect that's too much to ask for :)

WW2 progressed the same way to. Russia grinding it out from the east and the allies from the west. Coincidental? Hardly think so. Me thinks Oleg is a romantic.

Nice pic, surprised you could see it with your head in the clouds :P

Maybe in il2 version 3 in 2021 we might see that (now look whose head are in the clouds :rolleyes: )

Meusli,

I found a work-around for the more computer equipment one: get a good case and just keep updating the innards...
I've done two complete upgrades in the last 5 years without my wife knowing :D
So long as I keep using the same case I don't think she'll ever suspect anything...

I did have to do the whole sales-job thing to get a new monitor though...

Was thinking the same thing...

What?

If a 'Strom' is called a major or large river in English
and in English a stream is smaller that a river...

how does Stream mean Strom?

I don't speak German, but on the evidence posted I suggest that 'Stream' in English does not mean 'Strom' in German.

Someone posted, in English, that a stream was bigger than a river. They got it wrong, never mind, let's move on.

@kg26_alpha - the photograph can't be compared to what human eye can see. I think too many people here rely solely or in major part to what they saw on the photos/film. In reality things look diferently. One clear example is the perception of depth (which you can't simulate on 2d screen) and it could be done as Rodolphe has shown, the other is perception how tracers realy look like. As far as dynamics of colors and or their hue/saturation, I'm afraid if the release date is realy 25th of March, then there is no time to change that. I'm no expert in programming, but I would presume this is major change in the rendering engine. But there are numerous posibilities on the graphic card settings though...

speaking of tracers - I've been shooting browning 12.7 mm MG from aircraft in my military days, and I can tell you, that they are very acurately modeled in IL-2 already, so I expect that they remain the same or better in COD.

Very high contrast B&W makes a huge difference in photography if that was a colour photograph the tracks wouldn't look so brilliant. It also would depend on the time of day, is it overcast or not etc.

Landscape in CoD
 

By comparing real images of landscape and in-game sreen shots, my impression is that the obvious difference is in the "contour' definition of the roads, streets, tracks,etc...The blur on edges in CoD appears to me as the principal obstacle to photorealism...For you on this forum who have technical knowledge, is this a limitation of the code itself, or is it a way to preserve acceptable frame rates ?

Thanks ! :cool:

Salute !

Review on Gamer.ru:

http://gamer.ru/shtorm-voyny-bitva-z...a-za-britaniyu

Notice that you need to click some links to see many of the (lovely-looking) screenies.

BTW, very good to see the Focke-Wulf in CoD in the above link!

Where?

Nice find Freycinet! Some of the nicest shots I've seen yet.

Check out the loadout options guys....talk about attention to detail.:grin:

Nice one 1C.

Only unused track carries a patina of rust on the upper surface. Rails in regular use are shiny. The sides of the track may be rusty but not the top. Regular use means one or two trains daily, that's all that's required to keep them polished.

It's a well-attested fact that the Luftwaffe bombers used the main rail routes as a navigation aids, at night as well as in the day. The eight polished rails of the four-track routes reaching from the South coast up to London were a fantastic guide on a moon-lit night, as was the river Thames on its curving path through London.

I have raised this point several times over the last few years and I hope some consideration may have been given to these permanent and obvious navigational aids

The FW-200, the 4-engined reconnaissance/long range bomber.

AKA the Condor

Just a test to see who knows their WWII planes. You failed. :)

Yes, indeed I failed.
When I read FW, I instantly thought of the FW-190, but couldn't find it for sure.

[QUOTE=KG26_Alpha;227512]Also rail lines are highly reflective especially in moonlight, but i suspect that's too much to ask for :)

http://www.photographyblogger.net/wp...ad-tracks4.jpg

No idea what your on about, sorry.


I know what they look like at night as I have flown over rail tracks many times, its more a wish list addition, if its already done then a bonus.

Brando :)

Its along this well known fact that I was interested if 1C team had done any reflective work on the rail lines for CoD, it should a a given that the Rivers have it already modelled.
But if the rail banks have the wrong colour grass in Autumn it goes in the bin ;)




.

Then mine has failed too, but tell me, where do you see a FW-200?
must be the interior cockpit shot with the copilot then I assume...
however pictures of FW-200 cockpits I've seen do not look like the screenshot
if you ask me...:confused:

Check first pic here:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...792#post227792

Beautiful shot by the way - one of my favourites.

Now if someone could make the FW-200 flyable!!!!!:grin:

Now, that makes sense, thx

Indeed very nice to see a FW200 but honestly:
I can't wait to fly that su-26... beautiful shots!:grin:
