Friday 2010-10-29 Dev. update and Discussion

Ok, from now on I will do it like the rest here.
I will always say that the update is awesome.
Remember me when I'm mistakenly asking questions.
That seems to be the only real solution to be accepted by this fangroup.

Great update as usual, Thanks.

Ha ha, right on. Great update, looks fabulous, love the city lights.

This was at least what the guys from the B17-II simulator where doing some years ago, their tracers had smoke and where jiggling in the air. Never seen more convincing tracers in any sim since.

One of the oldest urban legends of the flight sim community, and B-17 II was heavily involved in creating it. Nevertheless, tracers do not behave like that. They do not jiggle around in random zig-zag patterns while still maintaining their rough trajectory. It's physically impossible, and it would make them completely useless.

As others have already pointed out, this is purely the camera shaking that causes tracers to look like that. Watch any footage where the camera is not mounted on the firing platform, and the tracers are straight lines. Just like shown in today's video

He said that to me

Over all I really like the movie. Especially the comparison to IL-2

One minor thing I noticed: There are mirrored clouds in the gauges but they don't move at all even if the plane moves. Is that something that will change during the final stages?
It looks kind of neat to see reflections and all but it'd be weird to see clouds in the gauges if you fly a loop and actually have ground behind/below you, not the horizon. In fact it'd be neat to be able to have a natural feeling by being able to pick up external factors like mirrored reflections.

Doesn't anyone ever get banned here for intentional spamming, trouble-making?

I don't think so, because moderation here is virtually non-existent. If it weren't, this place would actually be habitable.

Hecke...You probably can ask wathever you feel is relevant to this game...
And this is the main goal of this forum...It is HOW you formulate your comments that can be harsh and aggressive/negative sometimes.
Put yourself in Oleg's shoes for a moment... He is proud to show us ( wich is a privilege, don't forget) his hard working WIP... He assumes (wrongly?) that we know him enough,after all those years, to understand that HE is the most picky forum member we could ever find ....Oleg asks for a little faith here...He needs our complicity until he shows us the final thing...
But at EVERY update, someone ,(not always you) comes up with nonsense comments and a wishlist that is absolutely irrelevant to what Oleg is telling/showing us....

We can ask anything here...Dreams are free...It is how and when we ask and critisize that matters to have a smooth ride...

Salute !
