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

[mark@1C]

Hi BOSS,
If possible,may be you can do some improvements in the area of pilots view.(I have mentioned it in another post.I don't know if you have read it.)
As you may know,the area of Mods is in a state of confusion.Different Servers use different Mods.I can throw away all of them except some view controlling softwares.So,I think,if you can do something...I am inclined to have a pilots view software by your own team's development,a long term development project which gives a new view of the pilots view.As far as I know,there are FreeTrack,NewView,and 6DoF_Mods,may be you can develop a powerful one intergrating all of their functions.
What I want is,in brief,
every time I play your game,I can use only one pilots view software,join different Servers without "crt=2" problems,and the one itself is a powerful and Work in Improvement one.

Best wishes.

SOW


The Birds of prey graphics are very amazing compare to Il-2 forgotten battles. But I think ( and hope) Storm of War will be THE best.

Now that I have your attention. I need buy a videocard, I have a Quad 9400, a OCZ P&Cool 750W and a Samsung P2350 23" and I was compared GTX 285 or 295 whit ATI 5870… the thing is that Ati 5870 work with DirectX11 (AND THE pice is more low).
What do you think and recomend???
for another way, GTX 275 and ati 4890 are in low pices compared to July 2009, but are ald for the """INCOMINGG 2010"""

Z, I'd go with the HD 5870. Its only just come out so the drivers should add a small improvement (+/- 10% est) as time goes on. It runs cooler, eats less power than the others listed and at this time is the only one of the bunch capable of DX11, I believe SOW will have a DX11 option. The only downside is they are extremely hard to come by ATM but since SOW doesn't come out anytime soon you have time to save up. Though there is no news whether or not SOW will be X-Fire capable.

Yes FLy, here in Argentina the 5870 is over 520U$s , and is not so far away of the 5850 that is in 320 U$S (this too work whit dx11) … I can get right now the 5850, but I have a P&Cool 750W, will be a waste of Power supply if I put the 5850, maybe January I will get 5870 and i will tell about performances in some games 64bits like ArmA2. (hope SOW work only whit 64bits and don’t do anything whit 32bits, that is hold. 4GBRAM are not expensive…)... and i gonna puth another 4GBRAM in 2010 i think

In BoB can we have the option of mapping the mixture control on to a slider (rather than a button).

In Rise of Flight, the mixture control becomes a useful control, rather than the wait till the brown smoke and drop it 20%. Even though it adds to the pilot work load, it it seams more natural after a while.

Cheers

I apologise if this has been asked already:

Any plans to make the Defiant flyable at some point? I really would absolutely love to be able to fly one in this upcoming sim.

The reasons are simple, firstly my great-uncle was a gunner in one for 141 Squadron during and just after the Battle of Britain (and is listed as one of "the Few" and yes that does make me a bit biased) and secondly I would love to see an experiment done to see if any online team can repeat the success of 264 Squadron over Dunkirk.

Many kind regards,

Matt

These days, it seems you can't make a decent flight sim without rebuilding the better part of WWII. Good luck, guys.

Regarding COOP mission transfer encryption.

IL2 had many COOP hosts before the missions were encrypted, once encrypted the dogfight numbers grew and we lost a lot of fun coop hosts.

If I'm correct the missions were encrypted due to 3rd party licence sales (addons).

Is it possible to have the host select to encrypt his missions when hosting, this way he can release a mission or protect it at his discretion, with 3rd party addons already protected.

One way a lot of people (myself included) learned the full mission builder was to look at a mission someone had just hosted and you had flown in, then see how they "made it" , this encouraged at lot of new pilots to tweak and build missions and could do the same for the new sim.

The "art" of mission building has been left to a handful of people and needs new blood in the "new sim", the ability for hosts to directly share their missions once again will encourage more COOP hosts and mission builders alike.

Cheers

How about game internal radio comms, it ll be possible to block ventrillo, TS etc if the server owner wants?

Some players searching for ultimate reality could want to play this way. It ll be interesting if server configs allow this. Transmission ll depend of sources distances, some planes does not have transmitters etc!

Yes, it works
