I don't know anymore than what I saw in the video in the first posting.

First I've heard of it, but it looks good to me.

If you look carefullyjust above the video you will see a news clickon. You can get a bit more information that way.

Yeah the news basically says its meant to be a "Windows Live" online game.

That is so "LIVE" does have it's own issues

this is America, we have knowledgeable programmers that understand DX11, and are just now getting ready to unlock the massive potential it has

Just FYI, This American considers hellbomber a bloody twit, and will add him to his ignore list forthwith. One need not put down other countries to be a patriot. It's too bad that it's the biggest fools who shout the loudest and get the most attention.

Please don't consider this an attack on one person, but a defense of a whole people.

I am TOTALLY underwhelmed.

Looks all fluff (is that a topless chick on the right side??).

The fact it is a LIVE game,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_f...%E2%80%93_LIVE
suggests they are using the FS-X engine for online flying around.

IOW, nothing new.



I could be wrong, tho.

X-Plane has one major advantage. A company whose #1 mission is to make the best FS in the world, and not take over the world.


I wonder if Oleg may introduce a FS just to fly branch of his new game?
Fly Tigermoths, DC-3's (not 47), Vegas, Jungman, Ju-52 civilian, FW-200 civilian, Do-24 Search and Rescue, etc.

They must have been working secretly in the bunker.

From another article:
"Very little is known about the game at the moment, but it is expected to see a release before the end of 2010."

Hahaha, that's brilliant :grin:

As someone said before, this could be an expansion/plug-in for MSFS to facilitate something like a persistent online world, or a new product/modified FSX that will do something similar.

As for flight models, it's largely an individual thing for MSFS. I fly FSX quite often on a friend's PC and the difference between various aircraft is night and day.

The stock FSX flight dynamics are not that accurate. For example, flat-spins are impossible in the stock flight model and there are various inaccuracies with helicopters. However, FSX is surprisingly moddable and 3rd party add-on makers can and have used this to good effect. While FSX can't do flat spins on its own, there are add-on aircraft that can and they do it pretty convincingly.

Overall, i think IL2 is ahead in the FM department, simply because the stock version has all the necessary bits and pieces in place.
