PS. I'm the guy who hated the cheap love story tacked onto the 1969 film, but I love this particular angle of our sim. Trust me on this.

2. If you expect something new every week, you kind of maybe expect too much at this point. We're going to drown you in videos in the coming weeks. The development diaries Oleg introduced you to will absolutely flood you with info on every single aspect of the sim. They're just not ready today.

3. I still can't believe we're discussing tracers. I know it's our own fault for making them look like glowing sperm in the original and allowing you to get used to them. They're correct now. They're perfection. They're ideal. They'll never change. OK?

So they're not death rays then? ;)

They just look weird in the shot - I never saw tracers like that (I fired machine guns, Karl Gustav etc).

Still, all done now so I guess I'll see how perfect they look when I get the sim.

Hahahaha i just love this guy's tone, he can set things straight and yet maintain enough humor so that nobody gets upset :-P

Thanks for the continued updates, i'm totally looking forward to the upcoming videos discussing the in-depth features. From where i'm standing, it looks vastly better than IL2 and that's as good as it needs to, DX11 or not. It's what's under the hood that will affect the gameplay i mostly care about at this point, so i'm very happy to hear we will be getting some video presentations to cover that.

In my day it was Marina off Stingray actually. the poster that is.

No, the game is going to look worse than Il2. 1C decided that AA is not essential to the game.

:rolleyes:

I am sorry for saying this as I've been waiting just as long as any of you for this sim, and am very excited about it.

But oh my god that woman is stunning. Wow.

This post can't be quoted enough.

Actually, any insurance wonldn't let you fly a spit unless you have at least 100 hours on T6 and some aerobatic experience :o

Personally I don't like the mix of a sim like BoB and a love story. I can understand that Luthier is under the charm of this unreachable creature but I would prefer not to see a love story overlapping with the gameplay (strong personal emotions can lead to bad marketing choices, bad marketing choices can lead to anger and anger can lead to ... ;-)). If one wants to see some nice 3D girls have a look at GTA4 but this kind of feature wouldn't fit a flight sim.

But maybe I'm wrong as I see all the enthousiastic reactions all around. I think that you guy's spend too much time on the web :grin: and today it's friday night so cut the machine and enjoy your sortie ;)

That's great. Thanks. We're at the stage where we need to be flooded with info. ;)

Some thoughts: still the same clouds and weather in all the pics. I'm theorising that there's a reason for that and that they're being kept under wraps for the release? One of the 'surprises'?

Also, I know that with everyone's interest in how the terrain is developing (looks pretty good in today's shot) that we've been getting lots of low-level screenies. I was really blown away by how the terrain looked from high altitude in some of the Igromir screen pics - damned near photographic (see attachment).

Any chance of some high(er) altitude action?

In the first picture with the hurricane and the FIATs, the FIATs really look ambushed.
They don't seem to notice the hurricane yet and haven't split up their formation. Good
to see we will be able to make surprise attacks now and don't have to fight AI gods anymore!
