the second is main definition. It is optimization of development - next would cost less using part of modelled objects from previous title. There is other definitions, but this one is main

Hope this answer is very clear.

Both directions? Battle of France, Spain? .......... WWI.....?

Mr. Maddox,
I do hope that the expansion of the series begining with BoB will follow the chronology of World War II. This can be an oportunity for your Sim to be a grand teaching aid. What flight sim enthusiast would not want to bring the virtual world into the class room. I do know that you are in a business to make money and be prosperous. Please give this some thought. In the past I have read where some add ons were made due to the interest of the designer (OstFront) when others like myself wanted more Pacific / Western Europe maps planes ect. I understand that everybody wants thier nation represented. If you use the optimization model that you spoke of, plus following the historical period of the time. Your new series will work in educating the world about global conflict. Ps. plus give myself and thousands of others reasons to join a virtual fraternity of combat fight. I am hoping for a series that will be like a scale. Having the ability to shift weight to either side with equal movement.

Hi Oleg
the videos are great and the effects on stuka were amazing.
Only one thing seems wrong to me, and is the color of the 109 E cockpit. As I said earlier, this was in rlm 02 with exception of the panel that was rlm 66.
In the videos all cockpit is in rlm 66

Well Im not concerned so much about Oleg using false reflections or wrong colors. He already mentioned that the new sim will be more dynamic in lightning.
...With true dynamic lights all colors change everytime anyway!
Nice Effects btw!

Im glad Russia is sticking to flight simulations and does it so well!
All up to date Flights sims are Russian made!

More important would be to know, how many Spits and Emils made it into the game! We have more then the MKI Spit, no?

I don't understand the word flaperons

flaperon is a lift device, which combines flaps and elerons.

they are very popular with ultra light aviation...and recently with new generation of fighters.

The reasons you have stated are very practical, too. I hope that, once SoW is released, campaign-builders will work on a Battle of France addition as this would be great to set the scene before the BoB.

North Africa here Philip. In my opinion although you could argue also The Battle Of Britain to me I think the Luftwaffe fighters were at their zenith in comparison with the allied fighters with the F4. I love flying it and love the atmosphere of Libya ect.

Aye, I'd love that too; I think Oleg has said he will be modelling it, which is great BoB has all the bones for a North-African add-on so hopefully 2 years, be sure

Audio for that video also. 6' 3" Hannes Trautloft. I always wondered how he flew that 109.

amazing.

*Is missing a very more complete destruction with bullets hole on wings and fuselage (slow degrading) of a heinkel or dornier

*and in the end.. how is this sim will call?

STORM OF WAR: BATTLE OF BRITAIN
or
IL-2 STURMOVIK: CLIFF OF DOVER ???

*the finnal map: size?

*will be a in cockpit real map in the fighters including airfields and targets?

*will be activity peronal in the airfield. (guys walking, technics working in the plane, doing signals and some other thinks?)

*is missing a video of pilot view head out the cockpit in take off

i dont like so much de withe line in the wing when we see black in the blackground. i dont know if i explain this ok. but i can live with that.


nice video c1-maddoxteam-olga
