Hi folks!
Here we begin to post development news of BoB.... some time, but not so rare... I hope once per 2-3 weeks or so .... and more close to beta - each week like in old good time with IL-2 Ok, for the first update I would like to post some screenshots of Fiat BR20? how it looks in engine tools (in final engine it looks really way better, like in cinema!) Please pay attention that all doors openable, rear low platform for the turret is openable (by AI or by the player). http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/BR-20M_05.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/BR-20M_07.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/BR-20M_08.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/BR-20M_09.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/BR-20M_10.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/BR-20M_12small.jpg Please write your postings in Oleg room not here. We will clean up this page and later also plan to modernize our methods of postings. |
Hi,
This development update will be about details of the damage model. In case when damage, such as major damage to the surfaces, missing parts, or lost cowling covers, etc .. occurs during a flight, aerodynamics will be affected. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Ju-88A-1_10.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Ju-88A-1_15.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/ScreenShot001.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/ScreenShot007.jpg |
Hi,
I will be absent next week, so better to wish now: Merry Christmas! Below is the last of this year development update. Note: it is work in progress. We may see other final result in future :) Screenshots of Bf-109 internal construction that to show the complexity of the work and for understanding of time that we need to spend for development. Sample: Up to 20 separate damages of single engine modelled. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/ScreenShots_001.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/ScreenShots_002.jpg We also will have a big boat flying in BoB. It will be controlled by AI: http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/s25.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/s25a.jpg The grass in 3D engine. Note: it is just test version. Finally of course it will look way better. Currently we are on final stage where defined all the features of our new 3D engine. Some of them will be hidden in release that to be open with the series life in time. But to put them we need already now as a future feature… Grass will be in release. It is moving under the wind. The size of grass will also play real role for the wheels of aircraft… :) http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grass.jpg Be happy in new year! |
Hi,
Would like to introduce the training aircraft of BoB. This plane we will use for training campaign as well as it will be possible to use for online training with two pilots inside (one instructor and one – trainer) Attention: This model isn’t finished yet. Special thanks to Sean Trestrail! He did a lot of photos of small details as well as he was flying this real aircraft. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Tygermoth00001.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Tygermoth00002.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Tygermoth00003.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Tygermoth00008.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Tygermoth00010.jpg |
Hi,
Some special damage, work in progress. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/2008-03-21_115710.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/2008-03-21_120726.jpg Bf110C-4, work in progress. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Bf-110C-4_05.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Bf-110C-4_09.jpg Do-17, work in progress. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Do-17Z_WIP_01.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Do-17Z_WIP_03.jpg Customizable indicators for no cockpit view. They are half transparent, resizable, and possible to put at any place of the screen. With the release of BoB there will be 3 types of standard indicator sets for no cockpit view – customizable indicators for German, British and Italian side. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0001.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0002.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0004.jpg |
Development update
Hi,
Summer is gone…. So now more regular updates! I don’t post direct images fromour new engine due to fact that we haven’t yet all items fine altogether and you may see some artifacts… So later… I have great experience when I show the things with temporal bugs and artifacts, then users begin to think that it will be in the final release…. Which isn’t soon really…. So I prefer to wait and show then real things (maybe just with small bugs…) So now I would like to show some new almost final models in engine tools (like in engine, but not at all) Let’s look here for details of guns (Do-215B-1) http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Do-215B-1_WiP_11.jpg Details of Stuka http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/ju-87-00.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/ju-87-02.jpg Beaufighter Mk 1 http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Bea...Mk1_WiP_06.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Bea...Mk1_WiP_15.jpg Real time self-shading in a cockpit of Fiat BR.20 (moving shadows of cockpit frames due to changes of light way). The only one shot directly from Alfa. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0003.jpg Ju-88A-1 details http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Ju-88A-1_03.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Ju-88A-1_07.jpg Giant flying boat Sunderland Mk I (On each aircraft propellers in rotation are 3D as well) http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Sunderland_Mk-I_08.jpg And some ground modeling in tools (finally will look even better!) http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/guymkiaphoto001.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-01.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-02.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-03.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-04.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-05.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-06.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-07.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-08.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled-09.jpg Some part of train modeling (next time will show way more :)) http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/30.jpg Enjoy! |
Development update
Hi folks!
Trains modeling. Please pay attention for the shadows. It isn’t pre-rendering, it is a real time self-shading feature of 3D engine. On the trains and cars all wheels and levers on wheels are working. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/01.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/12.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/15.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/18.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/27.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/33.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/35.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0029.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0117.jpg Weathering of the aircraft in time. When you entering a career you’ll get the new aircraft (or partially used). Then with each flight your aircraft will be in constant changes of conditions… you will see in a sequence of missions. It isn’t only about how it looks, but also about performance of aircraft (new and used – are different). http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Spitfire Mk.I_03.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Spitfire Mk.I_02.jpg |
Development Update
Hi,
Today I would like to show Enduser Editor for modifications of maps. Please take in attention that textures shown there are not final and some - simply will be other… I simply would like to show how will be easy to modify map for different purposes or for more precise modeling of some regions, etc. Right now will show only several functions: http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled28.wmv http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Untitled31.wmv Ground modeling. You may see some interesting details that supported in 3D engine. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/001.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/002.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/003.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/004.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/005.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/006.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/007.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/008.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/009.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/010.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/011.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/012.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/013.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/014.jpg |
Development update 2008-11-17
Hi,
You may see again some very interesting details. Modeling of AAA in our new simulator means following (for example): Say, if the electricity generator of search light will be destroyed, then the search light wouldn’t work… then the effectiveness of anti aircraft guns also wouldn't be good. We are developing the simulation of ground AAA support in all areas, including radars, High Command, etc. It will work as a system: damage of one will have result in other. Also would remind that British and German radar systems will have different purpose as it was in reality. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_01.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_02.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_03.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_04.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_05.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_06.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_07.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_08.jpg PS. The ground surface is viewer’s surface and has nothing common with the ground surface of sim :) |

Update 22.05.2009
Hi,
We did some uniqie feature. Fore these that are unable to draw well we did the feature "one click paint" of the aircraft skin and then you get it looking in the sim already with all details. However we still keep the feature of total redraw as well.

Hello everyone,
I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting news. I hope this will be worth the wait. We are now at the stage where we'll be providing more regular updates. Remember when my Friday Updates happened every Friday? These shots today showcase the environemnt from a small test map that will be one of the online maps shipping with the game. We're working hard on finding the perfect visual balance, and many of the colors you see today are not final: sky, clouds, grass, trees, water, etc, are all being finetuned. As some of you may know, I'm a professional photographer as well, so perfect visual presentation is a very important goal for me. I am also posting a dedicated discussion thread for this update. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=10702 Screenshots: http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0100.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0101.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0102.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0103.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0104.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0105.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0106.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0108.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0110.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0111.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0112.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0113.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0116.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0117.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0126.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0130.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0131.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0147.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0168.jpg |
2009-10-30 Development update.
Hi folks,
The next part of WIP shots for your evaluation. Please discuss only here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=10809 Its a time to show our British pilots. Not in engine, but in final look (maybe tweaking of colors we will need for the engine) http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Eng...ot_72_Back.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Eng...minusobves.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Eng...t_72_Front.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/Eng...minusobves.jpg It was a question of many users. Yes, at night we have ability to look for the lights on the ground... And I think it will be probably possible to set the amount of lights in different regions of map for the right “night time” gameplay. Attention: colors of lights are not final You also may see on the shot the other very nice feature... and it is customizable by user... http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/windowslights0006.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/windowslights0007.jpg Bf-109E-3 in the engine. Currently propeller stops in pause. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/bf1090001.jpg What is possible to learn from these pictures: 1. We use real physics light-colors engine for calculations of changes during the whole day-night 2. Options on the left panel probably will be partially accessible for end user that to make superb screen shots. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/sky44.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/sky45.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/sky46.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/sky47.jpg How is looking at the moment rotating propeller at low RPM. The pitch changes are also visible during rotation. http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/rotatnigprop.jpg And some shots from tools without complex lighting (not all engine features went in the viewer tool at the moment. It’s a part of color tunings we are working for) You may notice many nice details... these models, optimized for the massive objects/gameplay in the future of the sim series... http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_01.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_02.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_03.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_04.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_05.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_06.jpg http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/VVV-SoW_BoB-06_07.jpg |
