Hecke, wie ich sehe gehörst du zu den etwas jüngeren hier Du warst wahrscheinlich am Anfang von IL2 nicht mit dabei. Viele im Forum gehören zu den alten Fliegern -- wir vertrauen Oleg sehr, denn er hat in der Vergangenheit nur immmer das Beste geliefert.
Hast du den schon mal einen richtigen Simulator geflogen? (nicht so Konsolenspiel wie IL2 WoV meine ich)

Hi,

Il-2 leider nicht dabei. Habe es mir zwar gekauft aber aufgrund der Grafik die mir nicht zusagte und der auflösung die mit meinem Monitor nicht harmonieren wollte hab ich es wieder in die Schublade gelegt.

Vor 5 Jahren hab ich mit Combat Flight Simulator 1 angefangen und dann auch den 3er gehabt, sonst Flight Simulator 2004 und X.
Dann natürlich auch mal ein Ausrutscher mit dem Konsolencrapspiel Blasende Engel.

Have you seen the movie of the Corsair catching fire and going down? Also look at some old colour WWII footage. There is quite a bit of the Pacific Theater on youtube.

Aha. Klar, heute sieht IL2 natürlich recht alt aus. Damals war es für uns der Schocker, weil wir sowas noch nie gesehen hatten.
übrigens: IL2 war für 4:3 monitor gemacht weil es noch kein widescreen gab. Man kann aber per Hand die conf.ini file anpassen und hats auch die richtige Auflösung für jeden widescreen monitor.

If I understood correct...

Shell pices after explosion of shell do the damage.
It was in il-2 and it is way more advanced feature in SoW.

microsoft still kept a 3 man skeleton staff to keep the old flightsim information viable for later revival. since, like in the time of the romans, the peasants are now back to their "wine and games" mindset and lulled back into the trance of acting like passive consumer units they have been so well groomed for, i dont doubt microsoft will revive yet again one of their old proven games like ms-flightsim in the near future.

Interesting. So you say that the valuation, "low profit non-core department", has nothing to do with it's marketing value?

ja das mit der ini hab ich gemacht aber es hat mir einfach nicht gefallen.

Naja nun gehe ich mit einer hohen (vielleicht doch zu hohen) Erwartungshaltung an SoW BoB ran.

I think he's referring to the screenshots of the empty shells falling from the aircraft and asking, if the damage from colliding with or picking up these shells will be modeled.

Not sure what your point is, but if the videos are posted to show how fire really looks as compared to the ingame-shots, well, actually the thumbnail of the first video looks a lot like the screenshot on the first page. Even if not all filters are active.

Abbeville Boy. You should keep that comment to yourself. Potenz and others have made excellent work on improving IL-2 effects and those new ones are far better than originals, period. Without Team Daidalos/OlegIL2 would be dead as it has not offered anything new in years..Now it still does with official updates. Have a nice weekend.

You seem to have missed the point. Each week the same group of people throw around much criticism.up-date, and insure us that they know better than the team. They are nothing but hackers, who complain a lot, and who say..Look here, look at my work, isn't it wonderful. That is like someone taking a brush to a fine painting, and saying..There I fixed it, now lets put my name on it......I agree with A-B, and you try to have a nice weekend as well.
