Friday update and discussions 2011-03-11

[Space Communist]

Beautiful video, but one thing I was surprised not to see was a certain "jitter" in the instruments. Now maybe somebody can set me right here because I have only been in the cockpit of an (airborne) aircraft once before and it was a 50 year old Piper, but in that thing the needles just kind of bounced around the indicated points on the various dials rather than smoothly pointing at one place. Was that effect just due the age of the aircraft?

the video, the screenshots, looks all very nice !!

BUT, this is seriously ment as an update to inform costumers of a COMBAT flightsim that is planed to be released in two weeks ??
well, actually the best infos so far were from vidoes from Gameshows, two leaked (and fast deleted) videos on youtube and an article on a russian ínternetmagazine !

And no official words about Steam ?! Not that there was a little bit of discussion about that in several forums the last days, no........

i have already preorderd this game and still will buy it, so, no worry - but....

anyway, thx for beeing online every friday !

The game definitely uses steam. I can recall seeing steam overlay messages on the Igromir footage, so that's good news. But yeah I am wondering when they will have a steam page up, I am waiting to buy it there.

yes, i ment some further, more detailed info about Steam. UBI was also not able to give them this week.
Just this , very short, announcement on thos Blog and off you go....

Infos like, how will DVD version hanlde Steam, when will it available on Steam...things like that. How will the Multiplay looks like exactly.

I, guess, all interesting things we will know not before the game is ready to install/download. Sure , not all can be told before, but at least some. And not this "joyride" with some biplanes in "hallelulja music"....

RAF fighterinterception on a german Bomberformation under Radar control with full sound or selecting armament of a Ju88 and than go shipphunting over the Channel - that would make the community fanatic i would guess, at least a lot of them
As i said, we are expecting a COMBAT simulation - not a peacefull flighttraining.


and i apologize the rude tone of my posts! I'm just a little bit dissapointed.

But all that is actually not important , thinking about the people in Libya and Japan

I suspect part of their agreement with Ubisoft being the retail publisher was that they could not offer the Digital version before 3/25. I am speculating, but it makes sense with the information we have been given.

It’s so realistic that it’s almost impossible to make the difference with the reality … I watched this week’s update movie after watching this MS trailer and I reached the sad conclusion that a small development team is far from being able of even approaching the graphic quality that we can find in this fantastic Microsoft trailer.

I hope that MS will one day decide to make a new version of his CFS4 with the same graphic quality.

Maybe a feature like 'camera shaking' would have made Oleg's video look less candid and naive (the planes look like standing still above the water .... I almost felt assleep watching that ...) And Oleg's clouds look ridiculous compared to MS.

Frankly, I watched this ms video twice, then even wondered for a few seconds, which I do only on special occasions... and I still can't understand what makes you so enthusiastic and 'high' about it.
It's plain, cheap, cliche, and shows almost nothing.

'When I was a child, I dreamt I could fly'
WTF, a worst grade hollywood love story trailer from mid '90?
Does it suppose to be moving? Make me cry?

BTW, I'm not a ms hater, neither a member of any other flight sim sect.

After reading through the posts I think the friday update 2 weeks from now will read

"Dear all, after putting up with your crap and negativity over the last couple of months we have held a meeting and deceided to keep the game for our own personal use, as it is impossible to keep you all happy no matter what we do, have a good life and I hope you enjoy your ASA spitfires.

Most aircraft, even very old ones, don't have that problem. Of course some instruments are more sensitive than others, depending on what information they're displaying. But if every needle was vibrating all over the place, I would be... concerned.

Tree is actually (likely) right since the man himself said before the track renderer doesn't care what the frame rate is, it would just take longer to render the track on that slower machine.

You're all making something out of nothing (big surprise) because this is about showing a preview of the sim, not a submission to benchmarking geeks.
