Bah! Amateur!

Our squad mandates wearing full flight kit, Mae West, mask, chute and the rest.

In my squad if you're killed you must unistall Il2 ... forever.

I play in my underpants in case I get shot down over the channel and have to swim for it.

Actually I play in my underpants just for the hell of it and because I like the sticking sensation of hot skin on a leather chair.

yes Oleg was/is upset at some of the constant previous negative posts and deliberate offensive behavior, to which you personally contributed a large part. its exactly the type of response you wanted from oleg after all these month/year, you'r now going to pretend it didnt happen and doesnt matter ?

and no, he doesnt have to give updates here or interact with his fanbase either, at this late stage there is very little creative or commercial need for it [/b](since the game is very close to release now and no further major significant changes in content will be made). Oleg can also instead just selectively release a page of information on updates with a few screenshots in it to one of the main aviation websites, to keep the crowd's appetite and interest for his project alive (most of us would go there and hang on every word). add to that some glitzy website a few weeks before release (so that prospective new customers who hear about it can look up some information on it before purchasing), and with those 2 acts there is then no commercial benefit for him to do it in such a personal and direct method in this forum

does oleg want to give weekly updates here and keep us (his fanbase) at the edge of our seats in the final months before release ? yes of course he does, he's like the proud parent of a new creation and want s to show it of and get feedback and recognition for how extensive his efforts have been, but there is little commercial benefit for him to do so. 98% of the people that regularly attend this forum will buy it anyway, no matter what his end product will be (based on what we have currently seen so far)

only a few days have past since your constant deliberate thread crapping here cause a major incident that clearly upset oleg and Co, being personally offensive to him ass well as ungrateful for him feeding us updates. when you drop your turds tree, you'r mum will still love you unconditionally and give you a lolly when you cry, for the rest of the world you are just a smelly whiny little kid with poop in his pants who is deliberately disruptive. if oleg continues to make updates here it is not because of you, it is in spite of you, dont confuse the two, he just now does it with a clothes peg on his nose so he doesnt have to smell you

zap, your fasination with poop and children is very disturbing, i ask you again, 3 times now, please pm me your insults rather than post it here.

so you see criticism can be disruptive to each of us, oleg included :grin:

Hm, I hope Oleg shows that he is grown-up and not in a snit now like a small child.

Because this is not the kindergarten.

:sad: well ,when i was a kid it was "it's Friday,it's 5 oclock and it's crackerjack" now it is Friday and update day - - only no update - - so far :(

Yeah man, Oleg is OK and he posted an update.

can u give more information about this osprey?

I'm not saying that at all mate, in fact I'd doubt it is. The point I was trying to make is that cuda opens up a huge amount of processing power compared to what is generally used now and I was indicating to my learned friend that he was only looking at current mainstream technology. I'm not an expert on this, quite the opposite really, but as far as I understand the newer technologies of PhsX, Cuda and 64 bit memory are pretty much untapped in the gaming industry at the moment, but I hope in the future it'll get unlocked.

To any gamer i would recommend having a read up on cuda and looking at some of the benchmark tests if you want to get all excited about the future of gaming.

Wait until memristors come into play, just developed by HP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor) - let's give it another 10 years :D

It was used by Coastal Command, for sub hunting amongst other duties.

"In its original coastal reconnaissance role, it was designed to disable submarines. It was not expected to fight it out with enemy aircraft, but to run for home with a top speed of 300 km/hr. Nevertheless there were occasions when it had a more attacking role. It was used during the Dunkirk evacuation, on 1 June 1940 an Anson of 500 squadron was attacked by three Messerschmitt Bf109s and managed to shoot down two of them, and in the same mode there is an apparently reliable report of three Ansons being attacked by 10 Messerschmitt 109s with the Ansons managing to shoot down three of them."

"Ansons (equipping 21 squadrons) and Sunderlands were the mainstay of Coastal Command at the start of the war. The Command always thought its role was neglected in comparison with other Commands, and that consequently its aircraft were not updated as regularly. Later on the Command began to receive aircraft that could really halt the U-Boat menace (especially to convoys) but for the time being the Ansons were required to do their best. Already on the third day of war, an Anson had scored a probable hit on a U-Boat "

Also, interestingly:

" During the Battle of Britain, Ansons from Detling continued with their patrol of the English Channel. However, they were also given a new night-time role – flying over London to ensure that blackout regulations were being kept. "
