FSAA
SLI/Crossfire fixed
Dynamic Weather
Photorealistic Landscape
Cooperative Play
etc

It could be any of these that were initially promised, Im hoping for FSAA for starters.

I still reckon its the weather model. One that's both dynamically generated and changes on its own. A few games have dynamically generated weather but it doesn't change.

The vision for IL-2 clearly wants to go towards some sort of persistent online campaign. The capability is there in the engine to do it. Having a weather model that continually changes without having to load a different mission would greatly help towards that.

It's gonna be something online related, that I am certain of. I would've liked it to be some kind of campaign generator but I don't think so.

weve had all these things before in other sims, none of them are special, is FSAA special? its a basic essential surely, any flight sim is the competitor, no matter the era, ww2 is my thing but as the current ww1 flight sim is better imo im playing that, if there was a korean air war sim and it was better than the others, i would play that.

so for the competitors to squirm, it has to be extraordinary, lights in wings?!.....come on.....surely your hopes are higher than that, a flyable do17??, thats not gonna have anyone quaking in there boots is it??

im not even gonna guess, but i do hope its something special, perhaps luthier regrets saying it now, because its been built up a lot, and you know what happens when expectations get high, usually a big let down, so yer.....thinking about it, maybe it will be that outstanding feature of lights in wings..........

Yes, she could crank our gear up.

Barbarossa.

doubt it. There was an announcement that they were working on somekind of Russian expansion a while back.

Most features mentioned were never a secret just planned features like moving weather that are still to be implemented. The only feature really not talked about, or that other combat flight sim don't have are animated groundcrews, pilots, etc. This is one feature that will really bring life to the sim.

@ Sharp..it was a longshot. There's a lot that couldbe or would be. Animated grounds would be a nice implementation. But I'm still working to get CoD running smooth on my system. I'm glad they're still working to improve the game, still little joy flying.

S!

To make any competition squirm would be a smoothly running game supporting large formations of planes without slowing down to a crawl like now. Because on those moments you get CoD to run smooth it really blows any competition out of the water with the feel and graphics.
