Thank God for "ignore."

There is an Ignore button on here? I need a see "Only" Button. I only care about the developers coments!

Very nice update!

The terrain has a nice hot summer feel to them now, the colour being spot on for England in August to my eyes. I would have liked to see some bushes though, not just trees (unless the ground shots are from a grazing pasture, in which case I miss livestock).

Ilya,

What is the status on the dynamic campaign system? We know from the announcement on the Ubi forums that it won't make the original release.

As I recall all the dynamic campaigns were done by third parties for Il2 for the longest time. I think at one point Oleg just included a 3rd party campaign into an addon and stayed with the practice.

IMO, any computer generated campaign is nuisance. I only like human created campaigns.

I wouldn't even worry about it at this time. Campaigns will definitely be available.

It's a personal issue, really. Personally, I have yet to experience a (modern day) combat-flight-sim campaign experience quite like BoB2. That, for me, is the benchmark I'd like SoW to exceed when I fly it.
I know some don't like the fact that you can take a commanders role in the aforementioned game, but one can fly as a single pilot.
Having said that, I have also enjoyed some great dynamic campaigns in Il-2, although on the scale of things they don't come close to BoB2.
Either-way, I will enjoy SoW in whatever form it is released in.

Damn missed you Luthier, but maybe you see this question tomorrow. When the video was at an end you was telling them to cut recording, is this because you did not want us to see the parachute scene? Also i noticed the eject scene was missing that animation you showed us of a bailing sequence, has this also been removed for release?


Thanks for taking the time to respond today and hope you get time tomorrow.

I can live with a scripted campaign but does that mean that damage and losses will not be carried over to the next mission? Perhaps someone can enlighten me please?

Skiiwa, click on the "UserCP" menu item near the top of this page, then logon if you haven't already and scroll down to "edit ignore list." Type in the name of the person(s) you want to ignore.

IMO most folks here are mature and supportive -- even constructively critical -- but thank God for the ignore feature so we can weed out malcontents and trolls with hidden agendas.
