you winding me up ?

[Trumper]

Ironic to think the sim is being built along the lines of a conflict that fought for freedom and freedom of speech and is ironically now restricted in many ways by countries imposing what they think should be allowed or banned, - - oh the irony [especially today of all days remembrance day here ]
If Olegs hands are tied well so be it nothing can be done.
A friend of mine has pointed out how limited an interest the BoB theatre of ops will actually be to some people [not me ,i can't wait ] so how quickly after this release will the next possibly more easily sold theatre of op s be released?.
Will you be able to buy them as stand alone individual sims or do you have to have BoB and then add on that.
Thanks

I don’t know if somebody noticed that but I think that in some sequences of the Igromir video the textures don’t look so good from a certain altitude. I know that Oleg is still working on this aspect and I hope that in the final release we will have something at least as good as WoP based, irony of fate on the already very good IL2.

Here is a little comparison between BoB and WoP. I agree that this comparison is unfair because there is a Hollywood green filter in WoP and that the weather doesn’t seem to be the same in both pictures.



BoB’s textures resolution seems to be very good and the details look very nice but it think that there is something that needs to be fine tuned to make it look more photorealistic and I think that there is no doubt that the new BoB graphic engine can do better than a console game.

I wouldn't worry too much about this aspect...

@Redwan, look at this:

And don't forget all is WORK IN PROGRESS

When you look at Oleg's posting time and make the math, you got your answer: he is sitting there sometimes answering until 3 and 4am in the morning (Moscow time).

Yes, and without much reading. Lot's of the questions have been answered many times before.

Oleg's a big boy, he will do what he wants. He doesn't need people trying to hold his virtual hand to tell him what he can and can't do. If he wishes to reply to posts, he will. He only seems to answer questions which he feels he can answer (e.g. without giving too much away) or questions of general interest to him and others.
I understand it may seem rude to some to post a lot of questions, but IMHO it just shows general interest.
IMHO, a topic full of questions is much more considerate than a topic full of questions and argument.

Hopefully we can just move back to the topic. I can't see why people can't just PM members if they feel their post is rude, to save the topic going off at a tangent.

its actually really easy.

Very true. nVidia has had stereo drivers for years. I've used a pair of 3D Elsa Revelator glasses back in 2001/2002 and it worked fine in IL2:Sturmovik. IIRC there was only the trouble with crosshairs and labels. In "Mobil 1 Rally Championship" from Actualize/Magnetic Fields it worked great.

Sadly it only works on a VGA connector now.
