3) a little question , o sugestion: when, for example, we are in a He 111 or a bf 110 over England, will be littles interfears on the radio of a FM whit music o something like that?
4) I can´t see any electric post in the pics. will be, at least, in the routs?
5) what will be next to Stor Of War - Battle of Britain? Korea? Battle for France? East front? The Flying thigers?

Oleg already said that bird will be dangerous if you run on them, so the answe is yes.

Hi again,

I have some ideas about the sim :

1.- Could have light signals (flares in diferent colors) for the pilots? (by example: when a pilot is going to lands whitout gear, the oficcer shots color signal; or emergency take off).

2.-I can read in Rudel books, that the latest Stuka machines had a device in cockpit for throw or launch the gear for emergency belly landing. Do you now if this have the first Stukas (Stukas sim)?


3.- Please take care whit the sounds, they are very, very important for a real sim.(crash, belly landing, radio, wind, enviroment...)

4.-In real planes, small flames and fire could see some times in exhaust. It can see especially in night (nights fighters find his target see it, and they can know by it, what kind of bomber was). Are flames in sim?

THX . King regards (srt for my bad english)

oleg: -I'm a professional photographer as well, so perfect visual presentation is a very important goal for me

I live in north of France in an aera near the channel.During Ww2, there was a complex of bunkers where Hitler planned to build his third secret weapon.In fact, it was a super canon concept with selfpowered rocketshells.This is an underground built fortress with 400 meters long concrete galeries called "the Mimoyecques fortress"(that is the place name).Fortunatelly, the allies, noticelly Captain Kennedy a JFK relative bombed the entire area and destroyed it.Captain Kennedy died during one of the raids toward the fortress. http://www.theotherside.co.uk/tm-her...ec-v3.htm#info
Most of the complex still remain.How would like to make scenarii like one of this including making historical events with some of the originals characters?
I think it would be interesting to confront players with historical characters to reach the goal of fitting both hyper realistic details with more historical accuracy as well. To my opinion, IL2 BOB would be a perfect simulation if it could reach this goal.
Are you interested in pics of the bunkers and the rural surroundings of the northern part of france, near the Channel?

Le jeu est centré sur la bataille d'angleterre, je doute qu'ils y mettent un scénario de 1944, non ?

it's just an exemple you can find orders historical characters. I just think it's interesting to confront players with historical characters

If there is one thing you can be sure of its that todays top of the line video card will be 1/2 the price in 12-18 months, and that it will have 1/2 the performance of the top of the line by then.
If I think back to IL2FB, the video card I almost bought (nvidia 5600) would have been useless, luckily I waited and bought a R9800 when the price had dropped.
If your thinking of upgrading for SOW BEFORE SOW comes out, you are crazy.

If you said that prices will plummet, i will wait to January o February to buy a radeon 4890 and then, then when prices "plummet" more (September 2010), I will buy another and do a Crossfire. Buth first i will buy a power OCZ 750W P&cool for support that SLI. I have a Sentey 600w
And I thing that I need change my Quad 9400 (2.66) for a I7, buth in a very distant future...
Very nice News that Storm Of War will work whit 64bits , I have 4GBram, and will puth another 4GBram. For now, the only game i have that recognaice that is Arma2.
and Yes, i am thinking in SOW when i think in actializing my machine... so what?

What will be interesting to see is whether the pilots (both AI and human) will obey the orders that Dowding and Park were issuing to their 11 Group squadrons, viz. do not engage the escorts unless it becomes necessary, the bombers are the primary target.
Scenarios fall apart when pilots disobey their orders and go dogfight-crazy.

In this case it would be much more logical to make a mission with this special target. Maybe somebody will make a modell of this gun and implement it.

But you can't expect every little detail of WW2 implemented, units with exact position and status or soldier with rifle and magazine how it was in the exact moment in WW2. Even modelling every bunker with exact position and equipment would probably postpone SoW by 10 years. But then again, that's why you can add such stuff yourself. Hopefully with thousands of enthousiasts the density of realistic installations will increase drastically, if the engine allows the large number of objects, that is

In the end the old wisdom still has some truth: If you make a 100% realistic simulation, you build the real thing.

Same is true for bailing out behind enemy lines and fighting your way back. That game won't be a shooter. If you use your gun, you won't stand a chance. It's more a tactical game like "Lost Platoon", where you can decide to dig through the minefield or go sneak by the surveillance post. But in neither case you can simulate what it was like to make it back home, so you'd never succeed in recreating that.
