Friday 2010-10-29 Dev. update and Discussion

[IceFire]

Oleg I have one question: I've noticed that the British .303 tracers we've seen so far in video and elsewhere are white. Was this really the case? Just development? I thought most of the British/American guns fired red tracers... This was the case in IL-2 but also what I had previous read.

Very interesting. So modern air combat is like Star Trek without transporters.

But i not like the gun effect and sound.
i loock original video of ww2 and sound of gun is POMM- -POMM- -POM very explosive sound of gun and tracers have a zig-zag effect and not a laser effect.
you loock the real gun camera the Tracher have a smoke little smoke and the tracher not have good linear and perfect direction but have little movement the bullets not is the laser.

sound of gun

gun sound

All of that sound was probably edited in later after shot. Those 303s have a more rapid rate of fire than those 50 cals I'm sure.

I'd say the same thing. Nice update, thank you for the video with the sound. Sounds very good to me. Good luck with exhibition!!

Thank you for your imput Oleg.

There's one sound missing in most games that involve shooting rifles/machine guns that has a dramatic effect on the overal feel of "battlefield environment". The supersonic crack of the high speed bullets/shells flying by.
Is there a chance this effect could be part of SOW sound engine at some point? When i tried ARMA2 for the first time some time ago I imediately realised this is the first time I heared this high pitch "crack" in a game. It made the game a lot more imersive for me.

We have it depending of different settings. We are develioping the series of sims, but the BoB is just the first one.
So we have different set of features or basic code for use future.

So there is possible to set one or other parameter in missions your are creating for the lights in this case. Not all is done for this, but you'll see it in future.

I think it is in Il-2 on some good sound cards sounding, if the card is capable to render it .

They are different depending of the type of the bullets with tracers and the year of use.

Thank you for update Mr. Maddox. It all looks fantastic to me. Good luck with Nvidia presentation.
