1C and Ubisoft Announce IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

[Buzpilot]

I guess 31'st is a lot better than April fools day...

[Helrza]

lol buz its not good, thats another 7 days we have to wait lmao noooooo! nm. Im takin a guess here, but maybe its been moved back because crysis 2 would have been released the same same day.... damn damn damn

Will the cliffs of Dover allow folks to make all those mods that diffuse an already small population.
Or will we all have the exact same version of the Sim??

When improvements are made by the developer a patch will be released as it should be.

I stopped flying IL2 as it got way to muddled to enjoy any longer.
I'm hoping that cliffs of Dover wont be a Sim were we have to continually keep up wit the latest and greatest "Mods" .

Assuming it will have built-in modding support like it was said initially, i bet it will be much simpler to fly with the same version. If there's a separate subfolder for mods without altering the core game files and a server admin can enforce a mod selection just like they can do for difficulty settings it could work. So assuming i had 5 mods in my installation but the server only allowed mods A and B, upon joining it would disable everything in that folder except folders A and B.

That's just speculation on my part, but they did mention they would release an SDK so people can add new content without having to hack the game code, so if they consider ease of modding important i bet they will have an appropriate interface to manage them easily.

It could be done in a similar way as "Rise of Flight" does it: People who bought a 3rd party add-on model will get the included cockpit, people who didn't get the external model in a patch. If 3rd party add-ons are maps, you could be seeing a symbol in a map-column (red X?) that indicates you don't have the map and can't join that server. Filtering the server list, it would not show the map.

Hi are the maps realistic so every building is there and in the correct place historically.

I have Windows XP ...can anyone tell me if I have to upgrade to Vista ( I hope not..)

[ElAurens]

XP does not have the ability to "see/use" enough ram to run CoD.

Sorry.

[SEE]

I am currently running CoD on XP with 4Gb installed. Win 7 64 bit is recommended as a first step to improved performance from those who have upgraded XP to win 7. Best to read the various posts......
