What is best way to contact Oleg and his team ?

[MadTommy]

Lots of people seem to be disappointed on these forums. Many seem to have their pet issue to pester the developers with.

Its a game that cost £35 for heavens sake, yes we would like it to be a good as it can, but the moaning is ridiculous on these forums.

If you have a concern, make a post and leave it up the the Developers.. don't harass them with whining, demanding a direct line to express your disappointment.

Have you any idea the how much work it takes just to model and texture one plane BOBC???....I'm sure Oleg has seen your posts and your concern has been noted...it is very unlikely this close to release that anything can be done about it now maybe (if your lucky) in the future.

I totally agree with mad tommy here the nit-picking and constant whining about ubi, drm's, box art, the name and wrong spitfire mk's is anal in the extreme....you will never get anything 100% to your liking so stop moaning. look forward to the fact that the game is nearly with us and you can take to the skys in this stunning new game....STOP MOANING!

but afterwards it can be done? Moaning is a very easy verb to grab, these issues are very serious, I don't fly allied planes that much but it seems that there's definitely something not right with the current interior of the Spitfire. Some people are really looking forward to refly the BoB, and if the interior is from a later variant of the spitfire people will start to get annoyed, since it's not historical correct.

I hope you get in contact in contact with Oleg BOBC, but who knows? Maybe he already noticed the problem?

[Meusli]

Do we know for definite what version he is supposed to be flying in? Is it possible that he is flying a MK2 spit or are the cockpits completely messed up with different marks in there.

Hardcore fans have the option of buying a Collector's Edition of the game. It will come with the following extras:
A cloth pilot escape map showing The Battle of Britain strategic locations.
A replica of the Pilot's Notes on the Spitfire I Aeroplane, provided to RAF pilots during The Battle of Britain and reprinted from the RAF Museum original document.
An in-depth 150-page ring binder pilot instructions.

If you release this it sure is stupid if you don't get it right,i have to agree with BOBC!

Best way to contact the Maddox Development team is . . .

1. Type out a well structured and POLITE email.

2. Print it out.

3. Attach it to a large stone or a brick.

4. And throw it through the window of their new Office.

If you need to contact them during off hours I suggest doing the above but throw it through the windows of one of their cars. Please do not throw it through one of the windows of their homes, that's rude!

Oh mr. smarty pants, well that´s the end of CoD then, Oleg should help the poor in this world, what a genius you are!

To be fair, BOBC's posts are polite and contain plenty of factual reference, I don't really see any need to slate them.

Unlike other nitpicking posts the cockpit of the signature aircraft would be, perhaps, something of interest to the developers.

Whilst it's also true that I wouldn't notice, or be overly concerned, if a dial was in the wrong place, I can see why it would be of interest if several marks of Spitfire are included.

Thank you.

As said, what is arguably the singularly most famous part of this sim should represent a Mk1 and not a later Mark inside and outside.
I am simply trying to get across the fact that at the moment we will be staring at a MkV cockpit. I wish to leave it to Oleg to be aware of this and decide if this is how he wants it. I include data in the thread as I have no means of getting it to him. Data and detail much finer than this is flying around their office so as to bring to you the flight sim that you are looking forward to because of the attention to detail, so shooting down detail equal or less to what they have been working to, basic observations in many cases, just doesn’t equate.
Posts such as who cares if a switch is out of place make out that wanting to be in a Mk1 cockpit is nitpicking. On that basis Oleg wishing to add in a train could be seen as nitpicking, people saying why have trains in a BoB sim, no one ever shoots them up. He is dealing with data that would have nitpickers have a fit.
I am not saying a switch is 5mm out of position, my observations make a drastic difference to the look of the cockpit, making it the much different looking Mk1 compared to the MkV, it matters to those that care anyway. That’s a long list of alterations, the fine detail level would be more still but I avoided such.

I haven't seen it, but I would expect Oleg's Mk.I to be at least as historically accurate as the new Wings of Power A2A Spitfire (is that correct or not?)

The cockpit as mentioned by AWL Spinner is seen at :-

Now these guys have either read my list of ingredients and/or studied two good references, the well known pump action u/c picture and the sequence seen on the IWM DVD Spitfire Frontline fighter featuring ample detailed footage of the cockpit. They have the essence of a Mk1 cockpit there. Compare that to the Maddox one. They have just outstaged Oleg in that dept. So that’s BoB Wings of Victory and now Accu-Sim with Mk1 cockpits and Oleg with a MkV.

I personally don't care. But if you are going to do something do it right.

My thoughts exactly, given their aim they claim is accuracy.

As a point of interest I would advise Accu-sim to watch that video and study that photo again and see that they need to do some 18 or so corrections. Their goal is total realism so they should take on board anything that achieves that.

I must say the artwork is stunning, ripple effect and subtle weathering, light on the raised rivets..well done.

Winny..have you a link or book ref to that photo, I shall take a look at what you are looking at. Note that X serialled spits were ordered 9 june 40, see http://www.spitfires.ukf.net/_prodn%20summary.txt others well before that time. The BOB started in July40. X4675 for example first flew on the last day of the Battle 31Oct1940. the K aircraft you mention was a trials aircraft AAEE and the site mentioned above has it as failed to return 17 aug 40.

BOBC; I hope you only read the constructive feedbacks in this thread and ignore the complete idiots. Oleg wants everything to be perfect and you want to help him. What can be more genuine than that?
