Thanks csThor !

Well, I believe it is all only in deeper thought about the problem.. I do not think that there is anything unrealistic about increasing of forces with the speed and additionally sensing of flight envelope edges (everything of course applied and adjusted in accordance with known real aircraft data/observations).

Of course, all other kinds of "shaking" during various events are nonsenses.. (well with possible exception of take of run and landing... but that's only my experience with L-13 Blanik on grass field with many tumps and burrows of European suslik :lol:.. have no idea about WWII fighter plane.. :cool:)

I see your point Freycinet. But a so called amateur, no pun here, can make a lot if he/she has proper documentation and specifications on the standards required for the job.....



I agree. A dedicated amateur with a passion for the game will give everything to reach his goal.

I don't do any game devolpment (other than hunting for reference materials for others), but I know from my own personal experience that I will put in 1000% effort, and go without sleep and meals for a hobby that I am passionate about. The pure pleasure of watching your own work (or a project you have taken some part in) near completion is all you need to keep going. My energy is endless for such a thing.

It would never be like this at a paid job, and I would never want it to.

It is working as radar system. Radars may have different purposes. As one of many - radio naviation. So anyway the name of this system is Radar in English.
Antennas of radar can be receivers or transmitters or both at once, depending ot the purpose and constructions, range of frequiency, etc, and so on...
Votans was just a part of the whole system of radio navigation.
Later we wiill see other types of devices used in that system. Including working devices in aircraft.

Unfortunatelly FF systems do not give us increasing of force except that this force is present in a couple of levels. So what you mean is really iompossible to make realistic. Usually just one stage FF IS and FF no... with jumping as wish the driver and system of FF joy.

Oleg,

I have never asked you a question before, but I have been an avid player of IL2 since it was released, so I would like to ask a question about SOW.

This may have already been asked before:-

Will you model random engine or system failures? It would be interesting (maybe a little frustrating for the player of course) if just after you have taken off in your Spitfire, your engine starts to cough and splutter, forcing you to turn back and land.

This is maybe a degree of realism that some players wouldnt like, so could it be an option perhaps?

1 more question please,

Again, this may already have been asked. Do you have plans to allow 4 engine bombers (Lancaster, B17, B24 for example) to be flyable by players in future releases of the SOW series ? I hope so.

Thank you for IL2 and SOW looks like it will be every armchair pilots dream!
S! Bunster

Probably yes. As an option. Can't say right now with 100% sure.

Yes we plan in future bobers of such types. Depending of success again.

Hi Oleg! I'm not sure if this has been asked (110% sure it probably has) But how will tracers look? Just like IL-2?

I always thought B-17II had the most realistic looking tracers compared to gun-camera footage.

B17II had one of the most unrealistic Z-looking tracers.

Vibration of the camera with corresponding frequency to the low frame rate(film speed) of camera was a result of Z-looking tracers in some films.
Developers of B-17II didn't research well...

The eye see other than that picture in reality.

In Il-2 we used colors of tracers found in the documents for exact shells and bullets used in each modelled weapon. So in reality the tracers in Il-2 maybe some time too bright at day light, but anyway was the most realistic. :)

Dear Oleg:
I have asked before and I think that you havent answer
Is going to be delivered the simulator in Spanish?
Thanks,keep working at this level ^^
