Your update continues.
3. Hurricane gives the Jerry a good scare! 4. Jerry fighters hunt Blenheims as seagulls look on. 5. Cranes! Good luck gentlemen! Tune in next week for another exciting installment of the... DEVELOPMENT UPDATE FROM LUTHIER! |
Thanks for the update.
|
Sweet!!!! :D is the fire spreading on that wellington ??
|
Im the first one to say WOW!!!
WWWOOOOWWWWWW.....!!! :grin: |
Damn, finished third!
|
can you say, Hot damn!
|
Awesome!!!! Keep it up BoB team!
|
Really nice stuff, thanks for the update Luthier :)
|
Makes me wonder, can the seagulls hit your windshield? :grin:
|
Amazing as always, can't wait to hear some sound effects.
|
WoW....
Indeed..seems the fire does spread, can it be 'blown' out? Thx for the update! |
Some great shots shown there; love the seagull and the cranes and the trees are looking a bit better.
tracer looks quite good and the fire looks deadly. I still don't like the smoke though, but maybe it looks better in video? Interesting stuff. Can fire spread? And will the AI turn their heads? The heinkels crew look asleep. :-P |
ooooooooooooooooooohhh!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! |
Excellent, this is a step up in screenshots, for sure. The fire looks mighty impressive. Well done.

We have something amazing cooking with animations which we really should show in a video. |
Forgot to ask very important question! ;)
Will we be able to use the cranes? I know its a flight sim but it would be cool if we can drive them and give more diversity to the sim! :mrgreen: |
Quote:
|
very nice screenshots.
is it possible to shot the seagulls? |
Quote:
And smoke and fires etc; are they open to modding after the sim is released? |
Quote:
Hit? You can try. |
Shoot the German mail pigeon.....
|

absolutely amazing stuff. i simply can't wait. and yes - please bring on korea after! |
Quote:
Our cranes are actually animated, they turn their heads, the winches move, i.e. they kind of look like they're doing something. |
Thanks for the update pics, great! :D
.. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of SoW once it's released. |
Well, it is all looking really great, I love the way the new detailed aircrew really help to bring the aircraft to life.
Regarding the video, please dont hold back, bring it on! I'd love to see a video of one of the aircraft being started up on the runway, and running the engine up, from in cockpit and outside. Any chance Luthier? |
Hi Luthier,
Thx for the screenies! One question: will you solve the issue of the engine noise, which in Il2 is very audible from another plane, making impossible a sneaky 6 o'clock attack ? Thank you, Insuber |
Quote:
The pictures posted are teasing us, but your statement about the animations is verging on mental torture.:evil: This is going to be spectacular, provided my computer doesn't melt. |
Oh,cant wait to give you,my hard earned 40 euros.
|
Excellent. The flames on the Wellington actually look frightening - especially the last shot with the inside of the fuselage an inferno!
Raises an interesting question about what it will be like from a crewman's perspective inside these bombers... :) Intrigued by the comments about crew animation....how about next week for that video update ;) |
Maybe we´ll have crews that spit through out the window!. And be carefull, because if you hit the spit of a gunner with a flue, you could end up with big green uggly spot on your windshield, see nothing and crash another aircraft! :D
|
- for dommage plane , does the fire extend with the time ?
- can we seen smoke from exhaust in futur ? perhaps no active in all the screens |
It's getting better and better all the time! Great work!
P.s. Please don't kill any Seagulls! Thank you! :-) |

Wow, the sea in the 110/Blenheim pic looks like amazing, a photographic shot.
Also the edges of aircraft are looking sharper. Do I detect anti-aliasing? |
Nice update, looking good.

luthier & oleg,
thx for the new screenshots ! aircraft quality looks amazing in closeup shots, and nice to see the scenery building with vegetation, houses, roads, dock equipment etc.. looks like it is all coming together nicely :) |
Fan-freaking-tastic! The fire inside the Wellington is indeed frightening, not a place I'd want to be.
I have an odd question; the crane on the right appears to be slightly more weathered than the other. If this is not my eyes playing tricks on me, are they wearing different skins or is there some kind of weathering scheme for ground objects as well as planes? BTW, I love the way you tease us Luthier, have you studied marketing you sly dog? :) |
Thanks for the update, it's all coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing some of these amazing effects in video.
|
Fantastic....still enjoying the old game every night! Glad you're taking your time to do it right..sp fx look great
|
This is great! I remember the good old days when we were getting teasers about IL-2 and then the Forgotten Battles addon... The excitement of waiting for something as cool is not all bad, I kinda like it sometimes. :)
I too reacted to the scary look of the flames inside the bomber. It's really an inferno in there. This is just getting better and better. Also, I think it's great that we get to see other things than the usual BoB planes I.E. Blenheims, Wellingtons and so on. Big thanks for the update! |
The flames looks amazing. A video of the whole fire spreading will be great!
|
Man, these seagulls will lead to a lot of overclaiming! "Got two pretty small enemy airplanes of unknown type."
Nice screenshots, and I hope that things look even better when moving! Thanks! |
Fantastic update, thank you very much. :-)
|
The trees look darker and nicer than before.
|
Thanks for the update Luthier.
|
Great stuff! Thanks!

Great update! Steer ow ow five for Kenly, if need turn channel C for Charlie, jerry plotting toward Dover . . . |
Luthier, Thanks for yet another excellent update :-)
Looking forward to flying the Hurri. |

The scales are, in a word, perfect. I looked at the screenshots again and I can't see anything that hints at any issues with relative size. |

|
Wow! Great pics and I will agree that the fire looks both fantastic and scary. Time to either bail or pull out the pistol.
Luthier, post the video. Olegg is on vacation and we'll never tell so he would never know :). It'll just be our little secret, k? Splitter |
Uh, Ilya ... Do I detect the beginnings of the fighter markings on that 109 in the background (with the burning Wellington)? Or is that still a placeholder?
|
Quote:
|
1. I still see the large trim tabs on the Bf110. Need to be persistant on this.
2. The wake of the ship and the water around it do not look like it traveling out at the sea. More like a river cruise. IMO, there should be a real wake wave, prowling in front of the stern and rolling down the whole length of the ship, leaving a trail of distorted water. 3. Will their be the option to specifiy whether a ship is loaded or empty in FMB? And will this lead to it sitting deeper in the water? That would make torpedo attacks a lot more challenging and real. |

I think there's over 40 different codes for different types of markings you can put on the aircraft, in addition to the regular numbers (<0 and <0- and I<< and <|- and all that kind of stuff) |
Wooooow!
Damn gooooooood update. Especialy the flames of the Wellington. Unbelievabley good...and hot.
~S! |
It seems easier to twise Ilya's arm than oleg's. Is this a long vacation? ..... :-P :grin::cool:
|

Ilya, just remember I have my manual on the fighter markings & emblems here. And you know what a nag I can be when it comes to that kind of stuff. :mrgreen:
|
Quote:
Although if we have time I might post something entirely unexpected here mid-week. |
More than be able to collide and shoot seagulls, it would be nice to have a peek at how are animated, short video if devs are so kind please! =D
|
Quote:
Great update though, cannot wait to fly this :D |
Quote:
|
S!
Yep, nice set of pics there :) Have a good one! |
Luthier,
with a multi crew aicraft like that on fire (or under attack, damaged), will some of the endangered crew (by nearby fire or damage) jump from the aircraft on their own initiative, or will it always only happen when (we) as the pilot order it ? (ie, one "bailout" command for all crew at once, and crew wont jump on their own when fire comes near or starts near them). and similar with AI crews, will some AI crew from an aircraft jump on their own, and will the AI pilot continue to try and get his aircraft home even with severe damage and a partial crew ? |
Yeaaaah! Up with Luthier!!!! By the way, may I ask you the date of release of SoW ? :D

ANy chance of a repost? |
Great update

Looking good.
I know its WIP and all so im just wondering about the first pic where the ship explodes, cant see any shockwaves on the water (not much of anything really, excpet the fireball) Will the effects/debries be there in the final version? |
Absolutely brilliant! The excitement is building. I missed the beginning years of IL-2 but this must have been what it was like with the screenshots revealing more and more and today "109 viewers" on the forum already.
|
Man, these pics just get more droolworthy every week !
Thanks for posting and causing much excited anticipation. |
Thanks Luthier!
This is a great update. There are so many really nice touches shown here. |
Can you imagine: been the Wellington`s rear gunner and see that flames and fumes all around your turret? How to Bail out?
Veeery frightening.... Derzasi |
Great update Luthier. Thaat fire is bloody scary!:eek: Looks like fuel is pouring out if the plane and burning low behind the plane.:o
I love the shiny metal visible under the paint on the engine in the first shot.:eek: That creates great contrast with the flat paint. Naked metal is visible in many areas where the paint is chipped.:-P Those Bf-110 shots are great. That thing looks just mean. I think that will be my first ride in SOW.:-P I still don't like the trees much. :( I don't think they are as good as the rest of the stuf. All in all great update. Lookking forward for more |
Quote:
One thing I've often want in Il-2 is the ability to order the rest of the crew to bailout. There are some situations where I'd be willing to try and land a damaged plane, but where I wouldn't want to risk the lives of my gunners/navigators. Besides, the add weight ;) |
Quote:
Most people are surprised to find out, for example, how small some World War II era tanks really are. They aren't as big as a modern MBT. Some aircraft really are that "big" or "small". In any case it's been pointed out before and Luthier did again that the modeling is down to a very precise level this time. I don't see ANYTHING out of scale. What do you see? |
Really GOOD work!! thak you Ilya!!
Keep the good work! and We´d be waiting for this "extra" release... ;) |
The flames are SOOOO much better with those "stretchy" flame streaks pulling backwards due to the airstream... I think that given the amount of flame the smoke is good too, especially when it's noted that the smoke trails left by the other two burning aircraft in picture #4 seem to attenuate quite quickly (though that may be a function of the LoD).
In any case, the updates are really beginning to whet my appetite! It's looking seriously AWESOME! |
Nice update!
Question: is that Wellington nose gunner being a hero? In shots 4 & 5, the flames have pretty much engulfed the aircraft and he is still at his position targeting enemy fighters. I would think it is time to jump! |
Thank you Luthier for another up date!
HE111 looks great! My friend did not belive those updates is screenshots from game :grin: |
Quote:
I will absolutely buy and play BoB, but every weekly update makes me wonder why we haven't received even a hint about Korea and the timeframe of releases once the SoW engine is finished. Been a long time since MiG Alley. |
Quote:
A huge pile of Korean content is already finished and just waiting to be made into a complete game. Trust me, I'm more excited about MiGs and Sabres than anyone here, but let's ship BoB and make it a huge commercial success first! |
Finally, fabric that goes away as it burns. I'm seriously considering buying this game when it's released.
|
You're "seriously considering buying this game"?
All I can say is that I hope there are no old ladies or young children between me and the game store when they tell me my copy has come in!! :grin::grin: |
Quote:
|
Awesome stuff!
Quote:
I seriously hope that there won't be a copy protection that would turn me down from buying this game. ;) |
Quote:
I'd be really pissed if they don't have a rock solid copy protection. They better get every cent for their hard work, so the game can grow and expand. If this means sign in online for copy validation, that's fine with me. I'd hate to see soo much hard work wasted because of piracy.:( |

|
It's coming nicely together. The flames in and around that Wellington scare the crap out of me.
|
luthier fine job! you are jerry material, come fly your new 109 with us. We depart in __hours/days, please fill in the blank time area :grin:
|
Edited as per request. Cheers ;)
|
there goes this thread :grin: why not start a new one for that subject
|
Please drop the off-topic arguments about the DRM! While I think it is a worthy topic to discuss, it should be in its own thread, not thread-crapping this one.

Unlike most, i don´t care about Sabres! |
To the "photographer" side of Oleg...the flames in the first shots look awesome...but it looks like like they're a bit "overexposed" in the inner-glowing part.
|
Great up-date. Thanks guys

Great detail. Can't wait to see a shadow overhead and hear it roar past. *It can be played on LAN whitout online connection i hope....otherwise events will have a problem. For the rest I don't mind..my cash will flow to the developer. |
