Friday update and discussions 2011-03-04

Those morning clouds remind of of why I fell in love with IL2 in the first place. Back when the series was new, I would take the (then somewhat optimistically modelled) I-16 up to fly lazy missions against P-3's in the role as Bf 110. I uses Smolensk at 6 in the evening and hazy, just to enjoy the clouds. The last video really reminded me of that feeling, I'm really looking forward to try this out!

Thanks for the update oleg, the 2 promotional videos are superb, would it be possible next week to see some 'in game' video over land so we can see how the game runs and get a real feel for the game.

Not bad, but I hope to see soon videos with higher settings for the terrain.

I hope too that the "lasers" feature will be switchable in the game setup.

I hope also we will have gama settings within the game, to get not the impression of flying over the Kuban map because of this shade of green.

Thanks for the update, the vibration on the mg17 when its fired is incredible. I'm really looking forward to hearing in game sound though Or at least, some details about it.

I'm positively surprised. Very nice !
Even the clouds are OK (even if there is still work to be done)

Ok guys, I know Im not very good with my flying etc, But I am right in thinking, That if you see your pilot jumping out of the aircraft and parachuting away, Then you may have done something wrong.

The whole idea is to survive the BOB and land back on terra firma with your aircraft intact. Honestly with what Oleg and his team are giving us here, does it really matter if the pilot looks a little wooden when hes falling to earth.

Im, sorry guys, Yes i know i've done a bit of moaning about the whole pre order thing, But We don't all have super computers and with the technology we have today, we are still not going to get photo realistic graphics and physics, Damn guys the comps just wont handle that.

Cant we all just be glad, that someone has taken the time and effort, to provide us with what looks to be a fantastic battle of britian sim.

Yes ok maybe it dosn't look like the films, But DAMN its closer than anything we have at the moment.

Its only my thoughts of course, But I do think Oleg and his team have done a great job, and they need support at this time, not complaints. I mean if all they hear are complants everytime they show something, Well guys, they may just stop giving us anything altogether which would be a great loss, to all of us.

You couldn't be more wrong! The RFC had it right! Sim pilots just dont nerve to stick with their slightly damaged aircaft or just can't be bothered landing. Sim pilots sometimes even just jump out on a whim, just to see the pritty visuals or even to go and get a cup of coffee! (Well at least I do )


Also many people with a bailout issue are movie makers. They really want Oleg to send his pilots to method acting classess so they can bailout and look like they mean it!

You're not alone there! Imagine the prospect of the best WWII combat flight sim for 10 years being released, and something as simple as pre ordering a copy of the version you want is next to impossible! There are some issues there.

As the man said, we may need to wait a while!

Star Wars isn't reality. Hate to break it to you.
