[Flying_Nutcase]

Hello Oleg,

Something that would enhance co-op/online play a lot is the ability to make hand signals:

- a simple acknowledgment wave
- a thumbs up
- a salute
- etc

Is this part of your plans? If not, is it something that you would consider? It really would be *awesome*.

Obsequious fawning?

Or trying to show that there are some who appreciate the dev posts, and dont think that they must/can/will somehow influence the development of the sim through incredibly random and equally surprising "Hey Oleg you should really <insert completely out of scope random demand here>"?????

Not everyone think that 1C:MAddox needs complete random strangers to advise them on their dev process.

Some want to show how eager they are to receive weekly feedback on their preferred title and, strangely, think that 1C:Maddox games can actually make a BoB sim.

Imagine that.

Boggles the mind.

I reckon those 1C types do their own research.

Then again I could be wrong.

Actually they made use of external people's skills.

I hope you are going to allow for the regular size skin too though. Markings are not going to look good in 64 x 64.

Thanks Oleg,
Very good video demo - the Stuka looks fantastic in HD.
The 'Cliffs of Dover' demo was excellent showing us the high aircraft detail, good framerate, cockpit sounds/voices, (I particularly like the cannon sounds) shadows and lighting and the great music score by Grigory Landman. All I wanted at the end was the Hurricane to land at one of the English airfields?
Can you give us a report on the Games Exhibition?

And...
In IL-2, when there are like 10 plane wracks burning the smoke goes all straight up. Will this be the same in BoB?


Oleg, can you maybe answer on these ones?

One thing that popped to my mind when watching the spitfire flying over the city were the in-popping trees and their ruggedly change of LOD.
What about using tesselation instead of different LOD here to make them change their detail smoothly.

No markings on that, only colors. Markings, riveting/panels, weathering comes all from separate layers wich aren't editable (if I've got luthier's words right).

Finally no swatiks any more

Foo'bar !!

LOOSE TALK !

Oleg will have you for that
