Friday 2010-11-19 Dev. update and Discussion

[AdMan]

I need a bigger keyboard

[BadAim]

My day is made... The contrails are perfect, the controls look scary (as I would expect), and I'm still looking forward to SOW (no matter what it's called). I'd love to see the AI commands in a future update.

[Flanker35M]

S!

True, but my rides will be Bf109E and Bf110C mainly But there are some very nice throttle quadrants out there though you can add. And seems we got all the needed controls in the game too so..BRING IT ON! I drool..my 580GTX is waiting for SoW

Wonderful update!

You've no idea how happy seeing a key map for "bomb bay doors" makes me. It's the simple things

Other things:

- Love the new condensation trails!

- A bit perplexed by the muzzle flash from the .303s in broad daylight. I know this has been done to death before regarding IL2, but shouldn't it be practically invisible unless the light is very low?

Cheers!

Nice to hear. It would be appreciated if the spellings are offered in all versions (as many Commonwealth countries end up with the U.S. production run).

After the debate on full start up, I see now what you meant about all other controls available during flight...the complexity is very impressive Oleg

[ChrisDNT]

AN IMPORTANT REQUEST (sorry but the caps are necessary here)

I think it would be EXTREMELY helpful to be able to settle different joystick settings for each aircraft in the game (after all, it's just some lines in the config files)

First read hole discussion. This is just part of the controls.

I just hope theres going to be a thick manual to cover all this... Great job Oleg I'm really looking forward to the release of this sim....

[Splitter]

No, no, no, Lutheir, you had it right the first time .

I actually don't think that an "American" translation is needed for the BoB release. It might be required for a future update to the sim, but even as an American I am going to be "British" when playing BoB....I'll need to develop a taste for fish and chips and boiled meat though... . It really is not difficult to read the British version.

I think the clickable cockpits should allay the fears of those who think they might run out of keyboard buttons. Some of the options shown in this update (radio frequencies and such) will only come up in non-combat situations where a pilot can take some time in setting them. The combat stuff needing instant access can be left on the keyboard.

Dang this is looking good, my wife is going to be angry...
