Friday Update, March 30, 2012

Thank you B6,

Right decision!

Is that the Baltic Sea in the background of on picture? I loved the Il2 Leningrad map, that in 1-1 scale would totally change my mind of the BoM project...

Screen shots look great!

I wholeheartedy agree with this. Take your time to fix anything you find. Although I must warn you - if even one big performance bug stays in the final patch, you`re going to have hell break loose over here.

Still, while our graphic programmers are struggling with that, other team members are progressing along other fronts.

You can`t stress this enough, BlackSix. Maybe put it in your sig. People needlessly speculate about that, some even outright lie to stir some flames.

We just cannot hold back the screenshots of how cool it looks.

The Ilyushin IL-2 actually looks even more sturdy than in the "IL2 :1946". I just hope you guys can model it right, so it won`t be immune to every type of ammo there is.

Have a great weekend!

You too and thank you for the update. Always appreciated.

Waiting patiently.

Thanks for the update, but my my concern is can all these problems be fixed, or does one problem create another one? In luithers post last Friday he mentioned that the target and bullet tracers had disappeared since the graphics update. Can you tell me if this has now been resolved or is this still an on going issue aswell?

Love the contrasting paint schemes/frost effect on the IL2s, do you just have the early IL2s or do you have the rear turret version?

IIRC two-seater Il-2s became common from mid '43 on (they started earlier with field mods), so I guess that in BOM we should only see one seater versions...
