I watched this video that was showen somewhere, a while ago, don t know anymore where and when.., i find it interesting. I found it at youtube. Looked it again and again, very often and there is showen a part where Ilya is flying a stucka ( the view from the cockpit), he is using trackIR. Then he is in a bomber ( i think it is a bomber.. don t know which one??, also cockpit view), He moves his body (top part) to the right and back, all at the same moment, like he is zooming out. This happens very fast. First you see the front of the cockpit and as he moves, like i explaned, you see something that i couldn t imagine what this could be. So i stop the video at the moment he begins to move ( at ca. 0:59 min.)
I was and i m still surprised what i saw/see. You can see the copilot or a crewmember, he is sitting next to the pilot. In my eyes the details of the pilot and all around him is very high, expecily the seat he is sitting on, more than i saw here in the screenshots. The only problem to see what i mean is, that you have to lean your head to the right, because the sight of view on the monitor, Ilya looks at, is up side down as he zoomes out. I hope you understand and see what i mean.

Hi chieff.

I think I know what you mean at 59 seconds. That effect can be done with a Trackir 4 and 5 but not with a 3 pro. I still have a 3 pro. The game also has to be set up for the trackir 4 or 5 software for this effect to work. I hope that helps.

because the view is upside-down?

Freetrack bug - happens at extreme angles, can be reduced by fine tuning FT.

It also looks like he may have hit the "C" key to go to another seat position in the aircraft at the last moment?

No body likes my Dx11 Dirt 2 :..(

hmm, i m wondering if someone knows what i mean, or you do, and i don t understand you. I think my english is not so good to explain. I have TrackIr 4, and i know what it can do, and how. I don t mean the move of Ilya. So you stopt the video at 0:59min. Can you see the crewmember/pilot in the cockpit who is sitting there on the seat? For me the man sitting there looks very realistic, more than those we were showen on screenshots and the level of details in the cockpit. I hope someone sees what i mean

Should help get your point across

I'd also like to post this image in response to the whole flat bottomed cloud debate...



I think Oleg knows what he's doing...

Bloomin thing, first flight in ages and I managed to bag one in that foul weather and finish the mission only to have Il2 crash when I was saving the track, mission lost

You also think that it looks good, for me it does.

[Dano]

Yes, I think it looks pretty darn good too!!! (Sorry, I should have mentioned that!!!)

I think this picture shows how good BOB will/could be. In my openion OM is holding back a lot, for good reasons.
