Sure he can decide for himself to reply or not, but he is a polite guy and tries to reply to all that ask him something. Some people totally abuse that privilege because they think they are more "important" or "big" in the forum if they can elicit more replies. "Yes, yes, look at me, I got a reply, woohoo"... Just give the guy a rest instead of posting moronic or irrelevant questions all the time!

Methinks someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! (actually several people) As a fellow person who freaks out at the slightest perceived insult to the great and illustrious Oleg (makes the symbol of the red star on chest), It kind of looks like your flippin' on the wrong people. Hecke for once had a valid point and managed not to insult Oleg and his team too badly making it, the other guys are just asking about stuff they are curious about. Oleg can choose the questions he wishes to answer, since that's why he's here. Just sayin'.

Edit: sorry Phil, I type slow.....

No problem

Was curious if Oleg is including flaperons with the 109e.


The movies looks incredible.

Do you mean slats?
Yes.

I don't understand the word flaperons

Yes the water question is interesting, if a plane drops a torpedo will we see the torpedo running under the water or just a wake above ?

Are there any planes human or ai that have torps in BoB 1940 period...?









ps- what's the release date?!

Oleg, I have very low internet connection, only DSL 786 kBit/s.

What is the traffic per client in SoW Multiplayer?

I can't say you exact digits. Generally depending of players amount. As smaller amount of players - more low speed is possible.

But we didn't test yet across the external tool that we implementing.

Oleg, any input as to the colour in the Stuka film? Before you click on the link, it shows a picture, and the colour here looks brighter than the actual film. It looks beautiful; one of the best SoW shots I've ever seen.

Hi Oleg,
extraordinary work!!!
Just a word about first video showing lighting&effects testbed...
I hope (I've no doubt it will be done in final release) some effect like reflections will be properly tuned up.
I'd like to remember that german planes in WWII were painted with standardized paints. The colors of this paints were registered as RLM# (Reichs Luftfahrt Ministerium). They had a satin finish, Ju87 recalled in first video had a splinter camouflage for upper surfaces in RLM 70 dunkelgrun and RLM 71 schwartzgrun. These paints quickly degradaded in operational service.
An interesting document, on how these colours appeared and how reflective they were, is the first link I suggest:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtNP8...eature=related

this video represents flight activity in jagdgruppe 77 (bf109) in early days of war, note (mainly at the end) how the paint finish reflective is (clearly satin).

The second link is a video referring to flying activity in eastern front, at 0:35 and 0:43 is showed a special care dedicated to the commander's plane.
It wasn't an ordinary duty to polish every single plane in a unit. Only on demand of a commanding officer and if they had time and manwork to spend.
(I'm referring to sole color video, above sx on page)

Third: a picture from Flying legends 2008 on the maximum amount of reflection shoud have a plane in SOW (IMAH-taste).

Flaperons:

Ailerons that also drop as Flaps when needed (still working as ailerons though)
