1+2) Waypoints are neccessary. Another spech that they should be defined in briffing... and as well as dynamically changed waypoint due to command using radar data for exaple. Triggers will be.

Oleg, could you give us a little more detail here, if possible?. example - will a radar vector give you the ability to change a waypoint in-flight?

And... date of release on different sites of BoB was many time anounced... But I knew it only when it was published there.... Officially BoB was never anounced when it will be released. Usually just hope when... and almost always - TBD.
What I can say really - we are working hard... and BoB will be done doesn't matter of anything in possible future

Thanks for that Oleg, like you say it doesn't matter on the scale of things its just a little annoying to see some online sites taking pre-order payments when they have no real information or confirmed release dates.

Thanks for shedding some light on this, and good luck with the project.

4.09 still don't know when. My guys really to busy that to switch back to Il-2 even for some time.

I know your situation is very resource driven to fall back to the final 4.09, though after seeing the Slovakia Winter map I am feeling very sad for that development team - what about the community 'chippimg in' for some overtime payment?

We model all structure of HQ that receive information from the Radar and give then commands to ground AA-artillery, to planes, etc. and if you recieve this information in Air then you should redirect your flight according given info. We try to model it with the precise of that time... so it will be not so precise like in modern time. You even may miss the target by altitude or so... like it was in reality, reading recalls of British pilots.

German radars will work by other way. They used it for another purpose.

Yes, I saw it several times and noticed about it Ubisoft in the past.

Hello Oleg,

thanks for the update, and congratulations on the absolutely superb aircraft and vehicles.

I have three questions:

1) It was said a long time ago that AI would not be able to look "behind" means that their vision is limited by actual cockpit. Is this still planned?

2) It was said also long time ago that AI will not be able to look through clouds, or less good looking at night. Is this still planned?

I think both those things can revolutionize offline playing. For example, diving in clouds for escape, was, as you know, first thing to do for lonely bomber for example.

and

3) do you already know how much % of a city, like London f.ex will be "generic" buildings, and how much historic (real) buildings? Do you plan to match more or less actual street layout ?

Thanks and lots of courage for your project. I have 3D/Design company myself, I probably know what you life is.

Thanks---

1. Confirmed
2. Confirmed no "radars" across the clouds
3. We will have several very precise copies London building, but other things - most generic... But from above the streets, etc will looks close to the map of 1940 that we have.
To make a full copy of London would take large time... it is impossible... or possible if we will drop the main thing of simulator...

Thanks for the update and the consistent clarification of many things that have been on many people's minds.

Things look VERY promising from where I'm sitting.
