You make it sound as if ALL aircraft have the landing-gear lights dimmed whenever the instrument-lights are turned on. This is not a fact. You are wrong. If this is so obviously wrong as you say, why do you claim this to be a fact... ???

Hopefully they'll get that ironed out so that it isn't perfectly synched all the time. After a second of of firing the tracers would be closer to alternating than perfectly lined up on each side.

a little smoke lines need to be see it, for be 8 machine guns firing together, maybe. and very very micro finnest lines orange of no trazers bullets, but but very very very VERY finnest ORANGE lines i say.

Bf 110 night shot rules! they dont have night luminance instruments yet?

Maybe its just before start engine on the ground, light open for the start up ? ?


I remember a game long time ago, if you passed near enemy airfield , they will send some aircraft to intercep you, its will be so must if for free flight in SOW , some air activity will be there in the airspace and on the ground. Its is planed ?

Sry for the english by the way, hope you could understand my ideas

P.S. Nice up date Oleg

I'm sorry, what's the problem again?

[BadAim]

SOW is growing up nicely. I'm glad to hear that release is near, but sad that your under so much stress, Oleg. I hope and pray that you find resolution to all your troubles! If it helps I can vouch for another 50 or so in sales from my squad.

I don't recall seeing those death rays the last time I fired a 7.92mm machine gun (when I was in the Army) - is that a detail still to be ironed out?

This has been explained before. Oleg and Luthier have said that the tracers in these recent shots look this way due entirely to SHUTTER SPEED of the "camera" for screenshots. I don't recall if they said directly or only hinted at it but I suspect you will be able to adjust shutter speed etc. for screenshots. In some earlier dev shots you see the tracers as single dots, when asked why the change from dots to streaks it was explained that the shots with the dots were taken while the game was paused vs. screenshot in motion. Oleg is a photographer, so I'm sure there will be many such features for screenshot artists and movie makers to work with.

Actually BC, I'm not convinced the FFB issue has anything to do with Il2, I've used a Saitek Evo Force and did experience the issue once or twice but the vast majority of the Alt+Tabs never caused this, and with my Logitech G940 (which is freakin excellent btw) I've NEVER experienced it, and since I use the Multi-Throttle app I always have to Alt+Tab out of Il2 since Il2 must be running before you start the app.

Personally, I'm keeping fingers crossed for Christmas.

But, don't want to see this turn into another "debate".

It's just good news and I'm really pleased that Oleg's given us the word.

Agreed on the pics though

[GF_Mastiff]

Brilliant!!!
