Official Fulqrum Publishing forum - Oleg Maddox's Room #1

Better cook? Hardly. The modders are modding his work with absolutely no restraints on time, money, or peoples average computers of a few years ago. When SOW is released it will make the modders work on IL-2 look prehistoric. Soon after SOW is release the modders will be given even better tools to once again improve on his work.

Don't get me wrong I respect alot of the work done by the modders. BUT It does worry me that SOW will lose a few sales initially because of the work done by the modders. Our hobby can't afford any lose of sales. If we lose another developer we will have nothing to look forward to other than mods made on a prehistoric game engine.

I was saying that the modder's think of themselves as being better cooks...we all know that they could not boil water very well :grin:

I don't want to change this to a "modding" thread,but some of the mods are quite good, and at Oleg levels of quality. Most are not however.

A shining star is the Slot map.

The low end would be many of the "Franken planes" and many of the other maps that have been added.

As for BoB, with the new damage modeling I may be tempted to fly a Hurricane as well. Of course I will fly anything in the planeset, but untill we get French Hawk 75s I'll prolly be in the employ of the RAF.

His Russian front stuff is pretty thorough... fortunately, we're not likely to be short of BoB reading materials.

I had a thought about the new improved "damage Model"...while I think that we can all agree that this feature should add to the immersion of combat. I predict a whole new category of forum arguments where people bitch about the robustness of individual mechanical components under damage...and people looking for credible facts on the issue.

[Example] "The P-51's radiator might have been that delicate, but the oil system would never have broken like that when over heated"...

or

The pilot armor (strong) is too big on the FW190...

Obviously I know these planes will not be in the first "SOW"...but you get my meaning. The increased damage model will bread "half baked" ideas and paranoid theory's...

Yes, I'm hoping the next update will be a substantial one. Simhq has a nice preview of ROF, that sim should make the wait for SOW alittle easier to take.

Sorry for misunderstanding your earlier post SlipBall.
