Yust wondering.

<IRONY>Why is this still using placeholder clouds, and while we are here, the trees are still unconvincing.

This is clearly a low res SOW video, I will retain comment until we can see a high res version with real sound (This appears to be from the origional IL2) </IRONY>

On a slightly more serious note, I noticed the exhaust line in this video, it has never ocured to me that we have been missing it all this time. In the screenie of the Hurricane underflying, there appeared to be fuel leaking, but was it actually exhaust? Hmm we shall have to see.

If it is not in, it will not affect me at all. I will be flying this as a game/sim with friends and it will blow our socks off when it arrives.

No its not, in IL2 1946 fly any manual mixture aircraft on an over-rich setting and you get smoke.

The aircraft in the video is probably smoking because low altitude airshow display aircraft are sometimes run full rich for safety.

Nice video of Lausanne (Ouchy) and the Chillon Castel.


Need some Swiss conifers essences in South of the "U" Kingdom forest ?






Blink and you really do miss it.

I know that Oleg takes a lot of pride in his work and IL2 in its time was above and beyond all other flight sims especially in the graphics department. By looking at the screen shots as of late I would say that BOB/SOW will continue to be above and beyond all current flight simulation software that is out there when it comes to graphics!

But what about devicelink when it comes to third parties linking their hardware devices? IL2's devicelink has fallen behind other flight simulators in this category. Formula One uses thousands of sensors on their racing cars and the data is raw, real world, data. Also, X-Plane spits out better and more data than does IL2.

Has Oleg addressed this issue? Is it possible for a third party programmer to be linked with Oleg or someone on his team to discuss the known short comings of the old devicelink? Is there a way for a third party programmer currently writing software to communicate with Olegs team without having to post on a public forum?

I am thinking that Oleg takes a lot of pride in his simulation and that he will want to have it above and beyond in every catagory?

I couldn't tell you where it is, but I'm quite sure that Oleg has already said that there will be a much improved devicelink (or whatever it will be called). His original concern was that devicelink might be used to cheat online, but the problem never materialized.
