Oleg Maddox's News
 
Here Oleg Maddox will post the news and updates concerning the game.

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).

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.

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.

We also will have a big boat flying in BoB. It will be controlled by AI:

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… :)

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.

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.

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

Beaufighter Mk 1

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!)

Some part of train modeling (next time will show way more :))

Enjoy!

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.

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).

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/Untitled31.wmv

Ground modeling. You may see some interesting details that supported in 3D engine.
