Oleg Maddox's Room #2 QUESTIONS & REQUESTS TO OLEG ABOUT BOB SOW

[mark@1C]

hi,BOSS,
I do hope that the next series you release(BOB,etc.) will support widescreen(both 16:9 and 16:10),I think there is no doubt that every pilot need this setting.

[MOH_Hirth]

I dont know if this will be possible, that wasnt in SOW project, but no doubt a great improvement, worth stop all to try introduce the 3D.

BOSS,
about BGM
Do please give the New Series a Hi-quality BGM(Menu-BGM).
The IL-2 sturmuvik's BGM sound terrible indeed,feel like maybe a 8bit Nintendo game.
Hope that:
The New Series Menu-BGM have a quality like the IL-2BOP's official Demo. (An orchestra,not an old MIDI-keyboard)
Maybe the Original edition,Not variation.I mean the variation on Erika(for example)in the IL-2 Sturmovik,do amuse me,just like a kidding.I guess it was made by a programmer not a composer.
Especially the Japanese BGM,gives me a feel like Cartoon.
I think IL2/SOW series should be different from games like Red-alert,those are for fun and joking.
If use BGM,use it conscientiously.

If you dislike it, just change it. There are lots of music files around.

But, indeed, some good default background music would be nice. Maybe you guys could put some radio broadcasts of the time. Would gave a nice feel, for sure.

[mark@1C]

Yes,I know we can change it.
Because I know that,I think there is no need to do a thing that everybody can/maybe will change.
So,if they do BGM,I hope they do better.

The basics need to be covered before adding candy,, fix the fm/dm on the main planes.... why do people want the extras added when it would take several years of hard work to correct the fm/dm of planes... that's why we ended up with the 'what if planes' (that never flew..),,, instead of fixing the porked planes.. that's just totally wrong..
keyword here is aircraft/planes .. not music, not oxcarts... not what ifs...

Would it be possable to allow the pilot to select the order in which he drops his bombs?
The reason that I mention this is, as the game plays now, the Bf110 drops it's center bomb load and then it's wing-mounted bombs, while the Stuka drops it's wing bombs, then it's center bombs.
This forces the player to pick which plane to fly based upon the type of targets he faces and the order in which he needs to hit them.
If you could, Sir, could you make it possable for the player to be able to "key" which bombs drop first?
Ex: Hit key "x" and then press bomb release key, or hit key "y" and then press bomb release key.

For online play, option to disable "join blue team if blue have already 2 players more than red"...for all colors of course...just an option for server owners...?

BOSS,
about display-card compatibility
Will your new series run well with ATi-card?
You know, many game crash reports on using ATi-card in IL-2,and as far as I know,it is still happening with the new updated 4.09m patch.And it is "wellknown" that ATi do have some compatible problems of their Drivers.
It makes me confused,which is the root cause?The IL-2 programme or the ATi driver?
You know I surely will rebuild a new PC for your new series.
And I'm still hesitant about which one to choose,ATi or Nvidia.(actually I like ATi more than Nvidia,but too many bug report...)

Will there be a weapon view ? That is a view from the bomb, rocket or torpedo. (I did a quick search but couldnt find any reference)
