Funny how 9 years ago IL2 represented reality very nicely. We all oohed and aaaaaaaaaaahed. I was excitedly anxious (even panicky) to get my FW 190 off the ground before the Sturmoviks came to attack my air field in my very first mission. I remember thinking how grande it was to sit in my Hellcat on the flight deck watching my AI team unfold their wings as I started up my engine..... and then; "Oh CRAP. I forgot to link the chocks to a button." LOL (but I digress)

Ahhhhhh, the grandeur of technology. Now, we move forward with a more impressive representation of reality. What wonders of escapist realism will Oleg and crew have for us?




Thanks Oleg. Have a great show. I expect booth babes pictures next week.

Maybe it's just me, but does this Hurri look damaged? Has it lost part of its tail? Could it explain why it didn't fire at the bombers? A crippled AI who can't fire but still providing support for his wingman? Nah ...

Perhaps it was not a an AI aircraft a all . Maybe that Hurricane that made the quick attack run was not AI. Maybe we are seeing networked muliplayer?

Nah.

Great news!

WoW!The crash landings are far more complex than in IL2!
You used new voices for SoW?Thought the IL2 ones were going to be used.

What you mean with buildings?Strange,Combat Flight Simulator 3 had buildings such as Eiffel Tower...

Oleg, I might be a hopeless fanboi, but this video brings it to a whole new level. Good luck at the show, and happy bug hunting! I hope all your bugs are easily squashed! I'm chomping at the bit for the final release.

Nice video, nice sound, only the aim of pilot could be better

Btw, I have a question...dont know if I can put it here, maybe not, just registered myself...Are you going to add some music during flying? Im used to listen to the pink floyd and velvet underground in IL-2 anyway and not going to change it, but im just curious...

I am eagerly awaiting the release of Storm Of War and I did pre-order through Playcom about 18 months ago . It is a pity that we did not see the release for the BOB anniversary and even worse still , it will not be released for Christmas this year . From what I understand we are now looking at February 2011 --- hopefully it will be well worth the wait --- with ref to the music question------ I think it was 2nd July this year that someone posted pictures of BOB Storm Of War beginning with an aircraft with plumes of black smoke behind it and the music soundtrack was a little bit like the music which was used in the Tom Hanks film Big when he was at the fairground machine -------- does anyone know what this music was --- the post has been removed for some reason --- it was on Youtube but it has gone now --- I think maybe the poster was someone from Oleg`s team perhaps ---- the music was as good as any Pink Floyd track and I do like Pink Floyd ---- but this music would be suitable whilst preparing for a scramble maybe !!!!
Can anyone help me with this -- it`s droving me crazy !!!!!!!!!
