Oleg Maddox's Room #1

[GF_Mastiff]

problem Zap is that it will take more than 2 hours they need to rebuild the server side and recompile all the new mods added, if they include those.

[LynX_SPb]

In the il2 it is impossible to fly on bombers with full crew in most popular dogfight mode online. And even in coop missions gunners takes connection slots which can be used by other pilots...

Is it possible to implement in BoB proxy-type connection for gunners, like this:

PILOT_PC as proxy for GUNNER_PC connect scheme

GUNNER_PC________PILOT_PC____________________GAME SERVER
GUNNER_PC________///.........................//////////////
GUNNER_PC________//........................./ Other PILOTS, with any number of gunners onboard
GUJNNR_PC________/........................./ gunners dont take gameserver slots
........................................../
GUNNER_PC________PILOT_PC________________/
GUNNER_PC________///
GUNNER_PC________//
GUJNNR_PC________/

So B-25 with full gunner crew will take only one slot on server, with same traffic as fighter with single pilot.

This will also exclude GUNNER_PC connection problems from server handling, only PILOT_PC, as gunner proxy, will try to reestablish connection.

Such proxy type connection for gunners can greatly reduce load on gameserver, and would allow to use manned gunners on bombers in any type of gamemodes, without the risk to overload server, and free more slots for pilots.

Also such proxy-type GUNNER_PC connection, makes possible to create free flightsim demo version, with limited ability to join only as gunners onboard of a friend bomber -- owner of full version, without costly control devices and overloading gameserver.

Such full online experience can encourage much more ppl to buy full version of flightsim, and helps online flightsim community to grow even larger.

Oleg sir, are you still in any of those countries? Oleg sir, do you have a publisher for SOW? Oleg sir, is the BOB: SOW actually a dead project?

Of course he is

As for Ubisoft they are no longer the publishers of the game.
This has been estabilshed by countless threads and the total lack of any denial fom any 1C Official/Admin.
I doubt the project is dead but then I cannot prove anything else either

[Daiichidoku]

would like ask Oleg;

will all planes have compressibility/critical mach/aileron reversal etc addressed?

will SOW have a 'points' system, and if so, will it be customisable for server/game host?

[Feuerfalke]

Bobb4 is correct.

I am now publisher of SoW.

That is a fact, because there is no instant protest from 1C or admins.

I am also ruler of the world. This has been established in many threads as no world-admin has protested. The silence from all other wanna-be-world-leaders over the last years also confirms that, so there can't be any doubts left.


@ Daiichidoku

You forgot the word "again" in "would like ask Oleg"

Well I have to say you are doing a sh*te job then! Release some updates for Gods sake!
What the hells wrong with you? Are you insane? We want news Feurfalke!

[Feuerfalke]

Nah.

I have 243 Screenshots and the finished game on my PC. Maybe I'll release a short movie before christmas, if I find the time, or I give Oleg the permission to do so. Poor guy - he drops me 2 emails per day, asking me to publish the news that BoB was finished 6 month ago, but I just don't let him. That's just so much fun.

And currently I'm just enjoying to read the forums and read comments about people who really, really are not going to buy my game.

And when I release that movie, they'll give their firstborn just to fly for 5 minutes. LOL

[JG52Uther]

Good for you Feurfalke ,you tell the ungrateful rats who have the temerity to ask for updates!
It is good isn't it,I only tried the early alpha version with Oleg and Ilya at Birmingham,but I reckon with a bit of work it will be nearly as good as il2 modded.

[Feuerfalke]

Well, the modded IL2 is better, of course - well, at least the bunch of guys I pay on this forum will keep telling you. You got the mods, I'll keep the game.

You know, as long as Oleg hoped to release the game officially, he had to ban the mods, of course, but now I have the game and everybody else is enjoying the mods, there's no need for that any longer.

You're happy, I am happy, so what?
