4.09 interviews

[JG52Uther]

You could be right Feathered!
By the time SoW is released,RoF might have developed into a game rather than a paid beta!

I did read the interview, but you seem to be suggesting that some 'Team' decided to finalize 4.09 whether Oleg liked it or not. Obviously Oleg must of agreed.

Obviously, this what I was talking about. Exactly.

Sure. After he was presented with 80% ready content. Until then he didn't even know, there is any 4.09 development underway. He liked what he saw and agreed to release the 4.09 under his name with condition, that all work will be done by the 3rd party and no involvement of his stuff will be required. And, indeed, if everything will be done to his requirements and standards.

Super fast loading,no worries about strange 'problems',and just nice to remember just how good il2 is,after all these years!
To then find out that 409 is going to be released,with added content,made my day.
I wonder if more people will just go back to the 'official' version!

I do that all the time.. but I have to say.... I like the 6DoF mod.. and the skinmod.. They both ad to the immersion a great deal for me. Along with the minimap & radiator mod.. (the one that turns them bi directional instead of unidirectional..)

This is a very good deal.

More free stuff, and the best part is all the "jabber" about the final release of 4.09 will be over.

If my memory serves me I would like to ask if anyone here can take an educated guess as to just what state of development SOW is in now, considering that I remember Oleg answered someone asking about the release of the 4.09m final with something like
"4.09 final will only be released when BOB gets to a set point in development".

If Oleg's answer to that question is still valid, it would mean that SOW is in or atleast very close to that "special" milestone in its development doesn't it?

Ofcoarse I could be a bit dillusional and that might be wishful thinking, but still..

The take over of IL-2 beta 409 patch by Team Daidalos is great news. Oleg no longer has to worry about completing the beta and can concentrate solely on SOW and all their addons. With the 4.09 beta no longer tied to the SOW development time frame, 409 can be completed at any time. Unfortunately the Daidalos Team is also working on the SOW development so who knows when they will be free to work solely on the patch.

With the completion of BOB all of Olegs team will be working on the Med instead of the IL-2 beta. and the Daidalos team will not only complete the patch but add content for the forseeable future. Best possible scenario for all concerned.

I wasn't even thinking of them, when I was writing previous post. Obviously, anyone, suggesting such things to the Daidalos team will be asked to go away.

I was talking about the genuine 3D models, I've seen on AAA and other modding sites. Basically, there is exactly 0 models, which will pass DT quality control from the first attempt and, may be 3-4 planes, which are more or less easy to fix according to the requirements.

Therefore, I believe, there still will be a lots of modders, who won't be ale to comply with the rules and still will be releasing their frankenplanes (including those, built in 3ds max from scratch) as "independent" mods.

Great news

The ONLY mod I would miss is 6 DOF.
Looking at the 110 radar vid though,that sure looks like 6 DOF is involved.
