Oleg Maddox's Room #2 QUESTIONS & REQUESTS TO OLEG ABOUT BOB SOW

[Skoshi Tiger]

Interesting video, but did you notice how hard the interviewer pushed that first pilot to compare the 109 to the Spitfire after the pilot repeatedly told him he hadn't flown one and was going by what he had read? He kepted on asking untill he got a comment that he liked. Very objective....Not! But that was the entire tone of the interview.

And I sort of assumed everyone knew the P-51 was a boom and zoom type plane?????

It did raise one question for me. Will the 109's leading edge slats be within the damage model and will the loss of those slats (in a stall being held back by those slats) be modeled?

Just imagine! your in a turn and burn fight in your '09, pushing the edge of the envelope, and suddenly loose a slat (or it gets jammed by a single .303 round in the wrong place )! Now that would be fun!

Cheers!

Agree on the interview, but it was likely those pilots are used to having amateur questions. Both pilots seemed reluctantly helpful, IMO.

Still they did answer and not blow of the interview.

I've often thought how it would be if Oleg released default aircraft, along with flight model specifications and performance charts he actually used to create each aircraft. These default aircraft would be the only ones allowed within online play. I'm saying I believe there are modifications in the aircraft that aren't actual in order to provide more competitive air combat, or a more level playing field.

I'm fairly certain that Oleg Maddox denies doing this in IL-2, and says he tried to match performance to the actual data he had, as accurately as the sim would allow. With conflicting data, and some aircraft having much less documentation than others, it is inevitable that controversy will occur, but I'd like to see evidence to back this up before suggesting there has been any deliberate 'adjustment'. Merely saying that because a particular aircraft underperforms according to your interpretation of the data, there has been deliberate tampering, as I have seen argued, isn't proof of anything.

In any case, this thread is about BoB:SoW. We should at least wait to see how the aircraft perform before complaining.

In SAS1946 there is work of FLY BY VIEW SOUND, my sugestion to SOW, worth check, be shure!

I saw today's video about 1C and Oleg's crew. I'm curious about Phys-X support in SoW_BoB. Is it likely?

Its called Doppler Effect, and the one from SAS is not even an effect but a Recording of a Fly By, its useless Online and if you change the Fly By View Point it doesnt match with what you see anymore.

IMO the Stock Sounds are still best (atleast for Suround Sound) and everything works with them, no missing sounds online for example.


@FlyBy: i rather have Havok (Intel/AMD/ATI) Physics, nVidia PhysX really puts a load on the system + if you got a ATI GPU and a low end nVidia card (or even an Aigea PhysX card) to run PhysX on it gets blocked by the nVidia drivers from running.

Hi, I was told that Oleg Maddox Team is looking for color picture and film of London for the development of the BoB game.

Maybe this can help:

Oleg, will the new SoW engine take advantage of new GPU architectures? Specifically will the new Nvidia Fermi GPU be relevant to SoW? Here's a link to an Nvidia article over at the Firing Squad: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ew/default.asp
