Question and answer with Oleg. This translates badly using online translation. I filled in the blanks, using guesswork. A lot of guesswork! Please bear that in mind. Maybe someone from Russia can do a better translation? Anyway, ...for the time being:



Q: Somebody who will be tomorrow, please, crash in a wood. I wish to see what effects make trees.

Oleg: Respectfully....trees at an exhibition do not have model of impact.

__

Q: In IL2 it was possible. At height less 30m above water to put the plane into a loop - not such long and realistic as on a photo, but the phenomenon has been simulated at least. I do not think, that in the BoB it is possible at all. But to see if it is realized in BoB, really, would be interesting.

Oleg: Many effects at an exhibition are not present. Up to present programming, but the guy that draws-models them all over again sick, then on holiday... Well also have not inserted. And in a code - only on different exhausts depending on a mixture..

__

Q: So... aircraft carriers will be? Strange.

Oleg: Is not present will not be.
And not anything for them; it was not programmed even for the future.

__

Q: Animals move..?

Oleg: For animals animation is disconnected. They looked a little 'crookedly'; also bugs.

__

Q: Probably somewhere the information already slipped but I have not paid attention - too many impressions... The standard picture is by default calculated On what monitor in game - special [ed:wide?] or normal? And then I shall see on the 4:3 monitor expanded verticals or the cut down horizontals?
And once again about release date - when this question was asked the conference , " spring 2010" was the answer; or "not earlier than spring 2010 and then depending on what happens [ed: how it turns out]"...so?

Oleg: Wide. And any dimension is allowed.
Yes 4*3 if still around - that the left firms or which do not suit neither transfer of colour, nor under the response, in general on quality.
I can not find, where about devices it is told... It is available in view of probably when you fly without a cockpit.
These devices all are adjusted on the size and quantity deduced. Though in general in 10 pixels to itself make having shifted as a window.

__

Q: ... I saw a complex editor... a type such as the one "olden time" Il-2.. ... You start " run" under the menu... In the new one: there are a lot of adjustments, there and then and thin adjustments-dead a zone, the response, etc... In adjustments of the Pilot it is possible to change physical appearance; moustaches and without, different types of a life jacket, an oxygen mask and without, different types of an overalls, a peak-cap or not etc..

Oleg: Well I once asked, to keep or not type (Il2) of the editor... 90 % have voted to keep, that it was easy to master that have already mastered it. Have simply added on most "wishes" there..

__

Q: And tell.. user skins will be available online? Or will be possible only to hope for? And how big and in what format?

Oleg: User skins online; how big... I do not know... not ready to answer. I did not pay attention.
And a format I do not know. We changed it one thousand times and Igor has chosen that result - I did not ask yet.

__

Q: On presentation you showed work of the game on 30 km of height. A question about it. Whether parameters of the plane (not only aerodynamics) but also "boiling" of gasoline, etc. on various (> 10 km) heights will be dealt with properly now? Whether such parameters are laid.
And still. In the future "Fight for Moscow" it will be done in view of responses of pilots "новоделов" or not? In "The Straight Wings" there is a description by the pilot which piloted both I-16 and Mig-3. It gives a little bit other description of the plane, than it is modelled in il2.

Oleg: I about boiling of gasoline, to tell the truth for the first time hear. In one report of tests of high-altitude piston planes did not see such mention.
Probably it is a question not of boiling and about liberation of gas... It not a problem and at proper adjustment of the high-altitude proof-reader and availability of the filter of problems is not caused also by the pilot about it at all does not know. Show me where you such have read it?
Mig-3: It will be considered. However... centering at the present is not what it was 40 years ago. Engine weight is different.
Yes.. As an expert has shown, reactions of modern pilots flying the same planes as in the second world war are very different.... Let alone veterans.

__

Q: Can you tell in what stage there is "Battle for Moscow "? Are "Battle of Britain " and " Battle of Moscow " done in parallel, or you have simply specified the future progress of game?

Oleg: Initially I am showing what will be. Yes, it is one of ways of progress.

I didn't translate all questions..some were impossible to understand from the translation.

More QA.

Some of this was posted before, and SaQSoN has also translated some of it. Some was new to me, so I'll post it here too. This was from an earlier QA post in the same thread:

Q: Notes look like they were copied and pasted from English.

Oleg:
Almost indeed. Ilya did the English.... Russian - well say so: not everyone understands the specific characters of aircraft, and terminology of pilots....
It will be corrected...
And the 'normal sight' refers to bombing...
In general, maybe tomorrow I will look and will tell about possibilities of adjustments of settings... certainly in general can though one page to remember.

But I remind you: the Interface looks not final. And much that will change. There are in general some menus that are not issued, and service commands of access to some functions only.

__

Q: ...1) the server as it was in Il-2 is built already in game.
2) Is not present ' debris ' from an opponent getting enough from the plane at hit from machine guns. As a guide, it is possible only by the flashes specifying where exactly the bullet has gone.

Oleg: 1. Not at all as in Il-2. But yes, it is built in.
2. there is a debris, but it much finer. But sometimes fly away the whole panels.
Who closely looked video where Blenheim it is attacked, there besides "dust" a large bit flies away and almost hits the Messer', flying up behind.

__

Q: Settings: The column for the keyboard and a column for joystick and as to make a key of clearing of programmed buttons on functions. It is certainly used already in many simulators. But function the extremely convenient.
In general, there is a sense in the air about that of unforeseen functions? That is possible to alter it is according to the submitted applications?
That the interface not final is clear.

Oleg:
There there is a section, both for buttons and for axes. Also there is a choice of the screen adjustments. In general for the plane, settings for chambers, types and ... it will not seem too little. You simply probably have not still seen it all.
There is even a section of adjustments of landing in machines [ed:AI?].... But while only pair lines. And in release it will be closed. For the time being.
In general adjustments, even I am so much in wonder....

__

Q: In settings so much interesting has appeared in comparisons to Il2. For example heating of any arrangements of the plane, switching of tanks, the task of allocations of dropping of bombs. By the way in the same place management of cars is separately adjusted..

Oleg: Still this all would work without mistakes at regular intervals getting out.... But yes... As you can see, long-term wishes of users of Il2 have been heard.
All right...

It goes at least 120 km more down to the South (SaQSoN said so recently)... There should be a bit of Belgium, so some is missing to the East.
I do not believe it is going much farther to the West that what is shown already.

However nothing official has been announced yet!
