BoB dovrebbe esere un ottimo simulatore ma deve avere dei collegamenti che permettano di poterlo ulteriormente migliorare e sviluppare ne corso degli anni che verrano.
la cosa molto importante e che un aereo si comporti come un aereo e non come un ufo rispettando le leggi della fisica terrestre
bastano poche cose pochi aerei ma ignorare i comportamenti della fisica mi sembra sbagliato.
Ad esempio il-2 gli aerei che vanno sugli alberi non esplodono
gli incendi non si divagano i fumi vanno dritti verso l'alto un aereo incendiato che sta nel mare non si spegne ma sparisce.
questa e una mio pensiero sul nuovo simulatore non e' una critica so che OLEG MADDOX e un esperto e so che a lui piacciono molto gli aerei e il volo.
Grazie signor Oleg Maddox.



suffice as a point of reference at IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 and analyze what is missing something you can 'improve and what you can' add as a new idea but also how it can 'be improved gameplay' online as part of a worldwide virtual conflict.
BoB should exercise a great mortgage, but must have links that allow it to be further improved and developed it over the years to come.
The very important thing and that a plane behaves like a plane and not a UFO while respecting the laws of terrestrial physics
Just a few things a few planes but ignore the behavior of physics seems to me wrong.
For example, the-2 aircraft that are on the trees do not explode
fires are not amusing touches the fumes go straight to the top of an airplane that is burned into the sea off but not gone.
My thoughts on this and a new mortgage and do not 'know that a critical Oleg Maddox and an expert and I know him really like airplanes and flying.
Thank you, Mr. Oleg Maddox.

3D Trees on the fields in original Il-2 are graphics features. That was done as a wish of users when the graphics cards were not able to render such things.
So they were done without clipping model especially.

Yes, In Il-2 is some things that look NOW not like we want (however let say that a fuel from aircraft in the sea may burn on the surface). And... with different difficulty settinmgs a lot of things in Il-2 changes in different aspects of the game. You should try maximized...

hard to understand electronic traslation....

Just something I need to ask you Oleg - I fear that it may already have been answered before ... if it has, I'm sorry!

It's the AI that SoW will have - in IL-2 one's squadron/section often/usually leaves one way behind in spite of one trying to maintain a gradual and reasonably fast ascent - not wanting to test the ol' Merlin too much before she overheats!!

In SoW will the AI and the individual player's airctaft be "closer" performance-wise. I understand that the AI in IL-2 was near-perfect (perfect trim etc) and that's why guys like me couldn't keep up!

Keep up the graet work - it gives so many of us so much pleasure! It must really make you feel good!

Can't tell you all details of AI. I would tell that it is more humanized in principle and doing very similar things to real things.

Its Ok, thanks, but I personally have no time at the moment to sit near him to play.
I just did for him several new simple missions where he can win with his entry level experience .

Glad your boy is feeling better Oleg, how is moscow, getting cold yet?

And also...is there a chance of a sound update this week?

Good to hear that he is on the mend, as that is the most important thing. Thank you also for taking the time out of your busy schedule to chat as well as it is much appreciated.

Oleg, great speech, a tune of land-of-hope-and-glory in the background and it would be quite stirring.

Oleg; it's interesting what you say about the colours changing throughout the day.
have you ever looked into this, out of curiosity?

I think, perhaps, we may be able to judge the best. Obviously as you say a camera won't give a 100% accurate representation, but from experience I think those of us who live in the country can give a good idea of how it looked.
The colours currently shown for SoW suggest a spring-look, where the fields are quite a lush green. In the summer of 1940, it was one of the hottest summers' on record, and the fields would have had a burnished look.
I do understand your theories of colour though; it will differen between each PC, but this is just my observation



Winny, there weren't rape-fields in England in 1940. I know you weren't saying there are, but I'm just pointing it out. It's interesting to compare a modern-day picture with one from 1940.

zing!

I am just saying, and many people will and do agree with me - that what RoF had at the beginning was a mistake. And the fact you have to pay for every additional plane? Thats just rubbish.

A bad decision like this can kill the sales. Just like it was with the last Silent Hunter. Fortunately for RoF players, they came to their senses and now the game can be played offline. I won't even go into 'the release without the dedicated server debacle'...

inclined to agree with you thor. the having to log in online to play aspect was a pita at first, but tbh i don't even notice it now. having said that, i have a reliable connection.

the pay per plane thing is, unless you manage to catch a deal weekend where they go for a couple of dollars, a mistake. i think there's an update bundle going for $90. for a game.

paid updates, with maps, missions and planes? fine

not single aircraft though.

Tomatoes are important factor to Italian food.

SPAGHETTI not exist if not have Tomato.
Tomato cooked or raw.

oven control amount and intensity of heat.

**back to normal**

You just called Oleg Maddox an idiot! Not directly, but you just explained to a guy making a flight simulator that WIND IS IMPORTANT! Then you went on to explain that gliders need wind to fly. Maybe next you could tell him how to dress himself or tie his shoes. I'm sure he'd appreciate that as well.

except oleg's posts, this is the best in the thread.

seriously? cotton balls. the shading looks... overdone as well tbh, but is pretty good in comparison to say stock il2.

glad he's on the mend, and the training regime goes on - maintain interest with gradual increase in difficulty is the best way.
