IL-2 Sturmovik: The Battle Of Britain


EAGLE DAY

North American version

Thousands of people on this forum are waiting for "Storm of War"
And with normal advertising by the publisher, the rest, that doesn't know of it will recognize.
And Storm of War is perfect for future, when there's not only the flight sim part.

Gotta agree. Just put the "From the Creators of IL-2" in there. Leaves a lot of room for expansion.

This is good for the game where the main hero is a human models.
However my opinion may be changed in future with coming new versions.

Hello Oleg!

It is always a great pleasure to have you here answering an unending flow of questions!
As for tesselation I understand your position, and frankly I also do not see much interest in tesselation for airplane modeling.
On the other hand, some ground (and objects) details could perhaps take advantage of it even at the stage it is now: I was thinking about objects like steam locos which are polygon-intensive, and improvement in rail track ballast and sleepers, mainly...

Is it possible to turn tesselation on for specific objects or is it currently everything or nothing?

The only people who won't know what you're talking about are the people who work in the video game store. "IL-2 Surmo wha???" For years and years I've gotten the same answer. The only one who was good was a fantastic girl named Jeniffer Osborne in Kelowna BC Canada where I live. She wanted to know everything about it so she could tell the customers about it. She would steer everyone away from CFS3 and get them on old 2001 IL-2

Quite frankly the publisher can call it "Pigs from space" if they like to, as long as I get my BoB simulator The only important thing about the name, box cover, marketing bs etc is that 500.000 customers or so should buy the game so that we get our expansions and Oleg gets his well deserved reward for standing steadfast on the hardcore air combat simulator barricade... If the publisher that supposedly are experts on marketing of game titles decides on some title I hope they have more insight into the 500.000 possible buyers preferences than me. I know I'm not in the middle of that group - and no one else are. Face it guys -we are the geeks that will buy it anyway The median future buyer (who may like "Spitfire vs Messerschmitt" or some other silly title) does not care diddley about the spelling of sub-texts on german engine temp meters or the mix of .50 cal ammo belts etc that we spend page after page discussing here...

You're right partly in my opinion. The first IL-2 had the problem in North America of being held in Russia. I've asked quite a few people around here about WWII and how much fighting went on in Russia and many of them don't have the foggiest idea. The first 2001 IL-2 had one of the best box arts I've ever seen.
