Simple as that, they can't do it within the time schedule they have.
Yes I love hearing that... Time frame means only one thing, release time is getting closer

Default 2 quick questions

Hi Oleg and team

1) Will participation be allowed by users to do modifications on objects, landscapes, effects and sounds?

2) Will there be more camera and view options to allow better movie making possibilities?

Thanks!

Sound is probably open for modification in general, landscape can be added for smaller maps, objects and even planes and cockpits seem to be possible to implement by 3rd party

Well, I don't think is too weird a request, and hope that Oleg & Co see it as a useful one. How's about the ability for the FMB (or whatever it is going to be called) to have the ability to generate realistic looking recon photos that you can easily annotate via a GUI. Then, in the briefing stage of missions, players can actually see this image. Something like ...



I think this would greatly add to the enjoyment, realism and immersion of the sim.

EDIT ... apologies if this wasn't really the right place the post this.

Cheers

In full mission builder now you are able to take a "grab" view of the map...could that shot not be edited to produce the image you seek? This is more of a asking question to you, since I have not put much effort into this.

Actually I think PeterPanPan doesn't mean that he needs these pictures to be made through FMB. This is already possible, as you mention SlipBall.

What we expect to see, and Oleg is aware of it, is the possibility of online taking pictures (by some recon planes) and then the possibility of adding these pictures in the mission briefing, along with leader's comments/orders.
That, I guess we should be seeing it.

Hi Slipball

Yes, you can take a 'grab' of the scene in FMB already. That is how I made this image, just by pressing the 'Print Screen' key. I then used Photoshop and manually added the 'folded paper' effect and all the words and arrows and changed it to black & white. It's all a bit time consuming and fiddly and not easy for those with no or little skills in this area. I was just thinking it would be a whole lot easier if there was an in-game menu driven method of achieving this type of result.

Hi HFC Dolphin

Yes, the ability to shoot in-game recon photos would be great too, and I'm pleased to hear Oleg is aware of this. I have read another post too about the ability to have gun-cams producing those iconic, shaky, black & white, low frame rate clips.

Cheers

It would be nice to have some of those film effects in-game. Not just for recon and gun cams but for tracks as well. one could just import the vids into a program like adobe after effects and create the camera effects themselves but it would be cool to have them in-game for those who aren't well versed in motion graphics. Especially if the they were emulated after actual cameras that existed and were used at that time.

So often we see history in our minds the way it appears on film, it would give the player a real sense of living history. This is also similar to the intro of the original IL-2, which took game tracks and added film grain and a black and white effect.

I may be mistaken (I often am) but I think I remember something about the mission briefing for SOW being made in some kind of markup language (HTML or XML????) if so you should be able to put in images.

You never know I may have dreamt it...or may have been having flashbacks to an earlier life in a parallel universe where SOW Bob has already been released????
