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

[MOH_Hirth]

Will the sistem sounds of SOW be improved? I think is possible new sound channels for turbo and "fly by view" sound or fast pass, if you understand what i mean, this can be a big step over IL-2.

This is very trivial but I feel that its almost impossible to take down an aircraft with only two of these guns even at 10 metres away! which is realistically a bit too ineffective. To summarise quickly these machine guns should be slightly more powerful than the Brownings used in the RAF fighters as they had slightly larger calibre and considering they are half the Bf 109's armament I quickly noticed just how unrealistic to real life they are. They need to be tweaked ever so slightly and maybe the Brownings of the RAF fighters too.

Keep up the great work!

As an old Stuka pilot from when it was first introduced to IL2 series way back ....... the MG17's were very effective at strafing columns, then after a few patches correcting the Stuka as it developed exploding wings and generally it got nerfed including its strafing ability, the MG17's were reduced to pea shooters the MG15 tail gun is pretty useless too.

Hopefully SoW will give correct power to weapons and it will stay that way and not have "balancing" patches

What about support for Nvidia's new 3D Vision system in BOB?

The old stereoscopic Nvidia drivers used to work in IL-2. This new, considerably better system, which requires a 120 Hz display (such as the Samsung 2233rz) does not work in IL2 at all. So will there be support for it in BOB? Thank you in advance.

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.

with this you can limit the range of the aircraft radio

[Stiboo]

Any news you can give us on the FMB? -

how many types of triggers

how many types of mission eg - escort, attack, free flight ...

how many flights/aircraft per side

Can we cut and paste the mission briefing/writing from MS Word etc...

Will we be able to add other things such as photos or music in mission briefing?

Regards

Stiboo
