Hi,

Today is some unusual update.

First of all - some first wallpapers for you.

Defender 03-04-2011 12:26 PM

Thanks Oleg, how'd I end up being first?

In the air combat video the gun cam of the 109 hitting the defiant ... those cannon shells exploding on a timer? You can see they miss the target and explode a second or two later. THAT is super cool. Nice to see the dawn lighting in a video as well.

#402FOX 03-04-2011 12:26 PM

first in :) maybe 2nd

Baron 03-04-2011 12:27 PM

Perfect.

NSU 03-04-2011 12:28 PM

nice, you think for the He 111 Bomb Layouts :)

maclean525 03-04-2011 12:30 PM

I quite literally have goosebumps after watching that video.

OH.
MY.
GOD.

Thunderbolt56 03-04-2011 12:31 PM

top 5...sweet.

dammit...make that top 6.

Daniël 03-04-2011 12:33 PM

That video is wonderful! Thank you! Let's see the rest now :grin:

zauii 03-04-2011 12:33 PM

Awesome Oleg!, can't wait , excellent shots and video.
I hope all the whiners will finally shut it by now :)

piper 03-04-2011 12:36 PM

~S~

Superb Oleg and team.

I have been watching closely for a long time, and will not be disappointed.

Thank you very much for all the hard work!

Regards: piper :)

el0375 03-04-2011 12:36 PM

great work, nice music too. 1000 thanks

what i actually enjoyed the most was the light in this video and the detail of the planes. Scene in 0:37 is really like a gun footage IMHO and what bullets trails! and the pilot sequence

absolutely excellent

need info, immediately before escaping( at 1.06) we see the gunner camera going back, is this like how gunner had to escape from a ju 87 ?

KG26_Alpha 03-04-2011 12:36 PM

Very cool thank you the videos are looking great.



The bail out needs some work
The pilot looks frozen in shock all they way down
till he pulls the chord :)

Stiboo 03-04-2011 12:37 PM

Oooh my first post from my phone!

Thanks Oleg, are you happy with everything?

Whats planned for the first patch/ update?

I hope you are planning a week off after release?!


Cheers
Simon

NSU 03-04-2011 12:38 PM

video1 time 1.31
nice explosive projectiles

kirq 03-04-2011 12:38 PM

Finally some HD videos. Looking great! Thank You Oleg.

Skoshi Tiger 03-04-2011 12:39 PM

Thanks for the update, it's looking fantastic!

Cheers!

Baron 03-04-2011 12:40 PM

Did anyone notice the pilot at the end, freeing him self from the chute before hitting the water.

Nice touch.

Dano 03-04-2011 12:40 PM

Oh my :eek:


Training flight video is just sublime, the next three weeks cannot pass fast enough!!!

Sven 03-04-2011 12:42 PM

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!:grin:

One thing I noticed though, and am a bit worried about, all the Stukas seem to catch fire on the first rounds hitting, I hope this was just for visual effects. I know that Stukas did get shot down in large numbers, but the fuel in the plane first needs to vaporize and come out of the aircraft, that would take multiple burst at least.

But overall it's truly amazing, the guncam footage and the tail gunner of the Stuka firing back was just mouth dropping, can't wait to fly!

Fragal 03-04-2011 12:42 PM

Awesome!!

Yes, I noticed it too. But My fav part is gun cam, add some grain, cut out some frames, make it black-white and there is no way to see the difference between it and actual WW2 footage.

DB605 03-04-2011 12:44 PM

The best update so far, thank you!

Dano 03-04-2011 12:47 PM

I'd also like to add that the music is utterly beautiful, is it something that was added or is it something in game?

EAF92_Brigstock 03-04-2011 12:47 PM

Nice vid, sunset looks great and pilot bail animation is good too.

I'm pretty sure that was added, which sums up the only downside to another wise amazing vid. The lack of ingame sounds

KaHzModAn 03-04-2011 12:49 PM

I don't have any sound here at work but finally some HD video !
Thats great !!!

And those wallpapers will definitly go on my desktop at home !! :cool:


Only thing i'm sad about are the IL2 clouds... but I guess thats gonna be one of the first patches, so it's ok...

No601_Swallow 03-04-2011 12:50 PM

Got to add to the chorus: beautiful.

I especially loved the atmospheric haze and the muted colours (noooooo!) of the countryside. Shows what a bit of lighting and haze can do.
:cool:

giovanni the ace 03-04-2011 12:51 PM

Some Great video, it looks GREAT! This is going to be an amazing game.

StG2_Winni 03-04-2011 12:54 PM

My very first message within this board !!!

I just want to say "Thank you very much on behalf of the German squadron StG2 Immelmann for this phantastic work to you, Oleg and your team !!!

Yours sincerely

[URU]Amraam 03-04-2011 12:54 PM

And more video at my great friend site (he is our advanced beta tester):

http://spread-wings.ru/index.php?opt...d=372&Itemid=1



Hi,
Is anyone able to get onto this site? not loading up here.:(
Video looks nice,shame about the music though,be nice to get some ingame audio.
Thanks for posting it :)
EDIT ---SITE JUST LOADED ,must be a busy time LOL
When the parachute gets near the sea i assume it is a life raft or something being ditched before he hits the water.

Pike 03-04-2011 12:57 PM

Thankyou Oleg!
 
All I can say is that I cannot wait for this game. I am now 62 and have played IL-2 from the beginning. Before that it was 1942 Pacific air war, EAW and Red Baron II. I also dabble in Lockon FC and others.
When I realise that all those men that took part in that now legendary battle (and I grew up with the memories in post war Britain) are in their 80's I see how old I am. So I am glad that I have a chance to get that much closer to the real thing with this game. I thank you Oleg.......you are a STAR. I will be endebted to you for the rest of my life...........They'll probably find me dead and slumped over the Joystick of my computer one day......in the distant future let's hope!!
Kind regards,
Pike.

kalimba 03-04-2011 01:00 PM

Very, very nice...And the clouds are not so bad after all, especially when you fly trough them...Nice effect !
And regarding the tracers, they probably have been reworked...They look perfect in this video...Bravo !
:grin:
Thanks !

HFC_Dolphin 03-04-2011 01:02 PM

Splendid!

ECV56_Guevara 03-04-2011 01:06 PM

Very nice update!!!
Oleg what could you tell us about the mission structure (.mis, .properties eventlog) ? Will be more complex than in il2? any feature that can you comment? These are the tools that we got to make a "Campaing engine" as Air Domination, Air War, Condor War, Med War, Scorched Earth so i really like to see a little. Thanks in advance.

BadAim 03-04-2011 01:11 PM

Perfect! I'm giddy with anticipation. Not sure my heart can take it. :)

LcSummers 03-04-2011 01:11 PM

I find no words, i am speechless, amazing.

Cant wait to have it in my hands. :grin:

Thanx

janik_dk 03-04-2011 01:12 PM

First post here.
Have been following this game for serveral years and I must say I am absolute stunned.

Fantastic work Oleg & team. It's nice to have people like you in a gaming industry where historic accuracy and realism are very low on their list.

Thank you.

ATAG_Bliss 03-04-2011 01:14 PM

Fantastic update!

Thanks fellas :)

el0375 03-04-2011 01:15 PM

thank you Oleg and 1C

maybe we can add some head shake when fire catches up near cabin( just for a couple of seconds, something like a little shock)

holdenbj 03-04-2011 01:18 PM

Just Brilliant - thank you Oleg and team!

Stukadriver 03-04-2011 01:19 PM

Wonderful. Your drive for excellence is admirable. Really appreciate you people taking the time to post updates.

Zorin 03-04-2011 01:24 PM

So, where are the videos luthier talked about weeks ago? The ones in need of English narration? It was said we would drown in videos, but I am not even getting wet feet here.

The me109 guncam (shooting up the hurri) is awesome...much like in real guncam footage....ohh, I just (after months of savings) ordered Simped vario pedals and earlier COD....the finest (up to date) virtual flying hours are ahead...thank you Oleg!

sfmadmax 03-04-2011 01:30 PM

Very nice bit of detail.


Overall, it seems just right. The planes bobbing and weaving in formation, the effects, tracers, fire, etc and last but not least, the excellent lighting. I'm not going to be disappointed ;)

P.S. It's too bad that spreadwings.ru is taking ages to load, i wanted to see the other video too but it will probably have to wait until their bandwidth use lightens up (i suppose there's a few hundreds of people hitting refresh just now :-P ).

It is not so much the number. Just the fact that I was under the impression we would see insightful videos that would go beyond the purely scenic qualities of todays update. Maybe I just got that wrong.

mr71mb0 03-04-2011 01:46 PM

Amazing videos, really can see the polish starting to shine ;-) Amazing seeing it all in motion like that with the effect the lighting has on it, totally transforms it IMHO.

I also really love the way that the terrain looks, the fact it looks real and constantly undulating, Not like 1 flat surface with a few bumps tacked on.

Also, special mention must go to the music track. Beautiful. Reminds me of Batman Dark Knight / Inception / Tron scores. I really hope some of this music would be in the final product???

PilotError 03-04-2011 01:48 PM

Great update, thanks.:grin:

The first video is superb.
But I haven't been able to load the second vid yet :(. The site must be too busy so I will just have to try later on.

Nice wallpapers, but the letters on the Hurricane one seem to be mirrored.

Really looking forward to this game, and I pre-ordered the collectors edition last night. I don't think I will be disappointed.

BTW, they are great, and the music fits 100%.

I think everyone really appreciates the videos. What many people were hoping for though was a gameplay video of someone playing the game (so recorded while being played) with the game sound on and in an actual fight so we get a "feel" for what the experience will be.
Edited videos with music dont fill that gap in what we have seen unfortunetly (despite that they are great).

I guess its pretty obvious that they want us to be surprised with the game,consider this videos just as teasers.The best is yet to come, thats my opinion.

Azazello 03-04-2011 02:00 PM

Looks really good - would be nice to see a video with engine sounds instead of lift music though.

Lucky 03-04-2011 02:05 PM

Thanks mate, i managed to load up the Russian page after all but it's good to have the youtube links too. I'm linking them to some friends of mine who are WWII history buffs but are undecided about learning a flight sim ;)

Zorin 03-04-2011 02:16 PM

Question related to video one. With all the talk about animated crews, why is the Ju87 gunner clutching air and not his gun?

GnigruH 03-04-2011 02:18 PM

Very nice.

A grain of salt:
Like I thought, pilot animations will be the weak spot of this game. I haven't yet seen humans animated convincingly. The guy is falling like a brick, totally artificial feel. The crew sits and moves stiffly, like it was made of wood.

IbnSolmyr 03-04-2011 02:20 PM

Thank you very much again Oleg, Luthier and whole team !!!

I believe that all that we want (sounds, fights, etc..) and didn't get for now will not arrive 'til the release, as said above, cause you want us to be astonished with the whole product... Arf, be patient is hard !

You are stars guys !

smink1701 03-04-2011 02:20 PM

Hypnotic…amazing!!!
 
The videos are hypnotic…amazing. You have created historical performance art. You have given frustrated aviators the ability to participate in the most epic air battle of all time. Unbelievable. And I am confident that it’s only the beginning.

slick118 03-04-2011 02:21 PM

Great vids but why is it so hard to get accurate looking towns and correct hues for fields and countryside? As a real life pilot who regularly flies out of Biggin Hill there is a huge difference between what you see here and the real thing.

Towns or villages should have a tight concentration of houses arranged in terraces around a market square or road junction not, as we see in the videos, each house surrounded by its own plot.

Terrain colouring is so far off it almost looks like they've done it on purpose.

Yours frustratedly.

He's falling totally normally IMHO, with the recommended body position, he waits for the stabilization.

What would you like he does ? Some smileys and thumbs up to the camera ??! :rolleyes:

TallBonapart 03-04-2011 02:24 PM

They are busy with a calendar,so no more videos till the end of March.;)
But in all seriousness,looks like the four guys,from the basement,somewhere in Moscow,gonna to release this game,after all.If be honest,I lost my hope sometime last year,that it ever will happen.Oh well,lets say thanks for our beloved publisher Ubisoft,for they deep pockets and patience:cool:

I also fly out in/out of Biggin from Rochester from time to time but solely fly around the South East and Northern France.

We cant compare today with 1940 but I know what you are saying.

To hand make every single town, village, road and lane is impossible there has to be some kind of auto generation for map building.

I would imagine as things develop so will the changes to colour correction, there may even be a "landscape colours you like" on a slider in CoD.

But did you fly over it in '40s ?? I guess Biggin Hill received a lot of bombs, huh ? So couldn't have it been builded in a brand new urbanisation plan after the war until today ? I read somewhere that the terrain modelled was the real 40' terrain.. And it's a great thing !

Flanker35M 03-04-2011 02:27 PM

S!

Bf109E found it's way as my wallpaper :) I hope CoD supports SLI/CrossFire as I am gonna get the AMD 6990HD :D

I think if to make all you want - like in real life on a lrage space and with great detail - than you should wait more years for the more stronger hardware... :) At least.

RaM85 03-04-2011 02:34 PM

This is one hell of an update! Thanks Oleg for spoiling us like this :D

addman 03-04-2011 02:34 PM

I'm just happy that it's just 3 weeks until we get to play this game!:D

IbnSolmyr 03-04-2011 02:34 PM

Oleg, will we have a good AI com' interface when we play with/against AI, in order to be able, for instance, to tell : "3 and 4, stay with our bombers while 2 and me are attacking another formation ?" That was really lacking in Il-2..

I've never been to Biggin Hill like most of us here. What I see is good enough for me... and 99% of the people who will be using BOB COD.

So, don't sweat the techni-phobics who can mess up anyone's nice day.

I love it, we are going to be enjoying the COD very soon.

Yes I suppose I have been a bit quick to criticise. It's just that the rest of the game looks so deliciously good, sometimes I catch myself thinking that the ground is just a rehash of some old IL2 terrain.

Perhaps I'll take some photos for you from the air at some point!

But thank you for the swift reply. I am really looking forward to playing the game nonetheless!

Oleg,

I don't think you have yet answered this question.
Will there be 1st person bail out in Cliffs of Dover.

Thanks for the update.



P.S Where can I get the music from the vids and more from these artists?

@ PeterPanPan : "4 x core i9 995 @4.8ghz/asses p7t x89/64gb gskull rippaws 3Ghz/ 6 x xenotron 86" 7680 x 4800"

What's that ???!!!

T}{OR 03-04-2011 02:42 PM

Love the music selection. Thanks for this update.

IIRC you could do that in IL2. Maybe not for individual two ship flights, but certainly for Red, Blue etc.

I think it's hardware that's so good it doesn't even exist.;)

Yes, but individual orders were lacking.

Wow, looking good! Are you guys ready to make some money?

The second video- I thought the clouds looked pretty good. My biggest criticism of the WIP has been the clouds, and it told me everything that I ever needed to know about the COD team when Luthier said that the team wasn't happy with them either, but here they looked good, like they often do on morning flights. Great work everyone, I can't begin to imagine what we're in for a couple of hardware generations down the line!

'Fraid not. You'll find that almost all towns and villages in the southeast have hardly changed since the 1940s, the 1840s, the 1740s, in fact most predate even this when you examine the architecture and buildings in these rural areas.

Since the war some have suffered the effects of the town planning and sprawl in an attempt to house a growing population, whereby more modern houses, usually without much sympathetic consideration, have been tacked on to the edge of their old medieval counterparts.

Unfortunately this is more akin to what you see of the towns and villages in this game.

Great looking vids there, love the long shadows being cast in the evening light. The game looks lovely. Thanks.

I expect some other nit-picker has already said but the point of a free falling parachutist forming the D, arching his back extending his arms and trailing his parted legs, is to form a stable configuration that will allow him to see the ground, and when he pulls his release cord, have the chute deploy behind him into the slipstream minimising the possibility of him getting caught up in the cords or chute and fouling the thing or injuring himself. The parachutist from the Stuka should be stable in the horizontal (he can rotate), not tumbling, as he falls.

Great videos! Thanks a lot for this update!
I really don't know what we would do without Oleg and his team. Maybe play combat flight simulator? What a nightmare

rakinroll 03-04-2011 02:52 PM

Thank you Oleg, good videos.

LoL ! No, please, not CFS !!! :grin:

I had bought it (CFS 3) about 2 years after Il-2, and lol, i played it about 2 hours, and it was right enough...

The color of the terrain is the only major criticism I've had in regards to CoD. Some people claim Britain does indeed have tropical green terrain but I just don't see it. Still, a great update!

Oleg,

the dogfighting video with the different aircraft is truly amazing, great detail and amazing action and effects, a true masterpiece !!

cant wait to get the finished product :)
