Oleg Maddox's Room #1

[C6_Krasno]

I guess you knows Oleg's job better than himself then.

Whoever removed the Oleg Answers thread can they edit it and return it as a sticky again.
People keep asking questions already asked a 1000 times which makes Oleg's job harder.
I transplanted some of what he said to our SA site but a lot is missing.

To answer the gunner question Oleg has indicated that a moral system and real world physics will play a roll.

Their will be ground activity but do not expect a FPS.
Rearming and refueling will be in, but this will not be 100% acurately modeled to assist online play.

People don't want to read Olegs old posts...they don't believe anything Oleg has said in the past. They only believe what they want to believe. (lol)

We were hoping he might have changed his mind....

The main thing is that most active people will play online our sim and opnly periodically - single play. In online gameplay the procedure for real starting engine will limit very much gameplay, so we MUST go there fro compromises with reality.

Oh I see.. then why not make it so you can jump out of the cockpit with a PPSh-41 in your hand and take over the enemy base.. That would add intensity for sure...

By the way, its ok if it´s not real switch by switch procedures. That would be imposible to replicate for every plane that I hope will come out for the SOW sereies. And I understand that it takes away development time. Still, we want a simulation. For a Game we allready have Birds of Pray Il-2 Sturmovick...

And aggain, I have never single played Il-2 Sturmovick. Check the squadrons, see how many dogfight squads are out there and how many serious coops simulation squads...

Anyway Thank you for your replays. It was very enlightning, and I am sorry to be so critic.
I was hoping for a little more compelxity.

[SlipBall]

I'm not convinced that most SOW player's will play on-line. I think the majority who bought IL2, have many hour's of flight time off-line.

[KG26_Alpha]

Ok

Oleg says no.

So............ just make a panel with loads of switches .....stick labels over/under them with what you want it to do....flick switch ....make appropriate noise with mouth/lips to "simulate" the switches effect, go through procedure till "You" are happy all switches are done in correct order and all appropriate noises have been made, salute the ground crew where applicable, give big smile as you head off down the runway.

This should meet the "clickpit" mob half way and "simstartup" guys.

Ok lets move on now please

Ding Ding Ding - we have a winner

Remember to flick your humour switch to ON!

[Baco]

Good one guys!

but I allready have the switches...



I need a nice sim to use them with .
cheers!

[Baco]

But OK changing teh subject: Regarding the Log.
Will SOW have a simmilar system of logging what happens in missions?
Can some one elaborate on that please?

We will soon release a video to show the travel of the stick : it's really a different kind of controlling .

good fly !

Sorry Trollbug but I ordered your joystick together with the throttle and this was 3 months ago. Nothing since except a mail indicating that they were finishing the paintjob and that I should receive everything in 10 days max. This was a month ago. Perhaps your group makes high-end joysticks but communication is not very strong. Tarmac's contact e-mail never answers and you didn't answer the private message I sent you asking for help....

I hope that the quality of the product is better than that because this is a LOT OF MONEY I invested here...
