Friday update and discussions 2011-03-04

I've watched these two outstanding videos enough to see that the 109s don't have main wheels/tires (while the landing gear is retracted) or wheel well shading! I guess I'll have to cancel my pre-order ... and I was so looking forward to this game, too.

... or ... maybe I'll just wait and see - lol. I keep checking the calendar every couple of hours to see if I can cross off another day.

I just wanna go one week without someone making yet another inane comparison with WoP.

Bad luck. It won't happen.

For me WoP makes the graphics in "Dogfights" look ridiculously understated. It's a caricature, like watching "300".

They are, that's a good way to put it. I played Wings of Prey for about 2 months, I've been playing IL-2 since 2002...still playing IL-2. Gameplay, handling and overall experience will always trump the superficial "graphical" elements of games.

Here's a tip, don't log in on the forums for a week Seriously, I don't know why I'm still reading this thread. All I wanted was to see was Olegs update...oh! nice weather today, think I'll go out for a walk.

A question to Oleg/Luthier:

The first video: The gunner does not look down the barrel of the gun. I don't think I saw it in any game so far except for first person shooters.

Is it possible to do? If you can't align the 1)ring and 2)bead (point) and 3)target so that these 3 points are in one line then you are just guessing when you shoot.

Or will 6 dof in itself make this possible?

Otherwise it would be good with a fixed cam attached to the gun looking through the sight, so it always moves with the gun (maybe as an option/keystroke), as if you had your head pressed against it.

Dude, really.. I'm sure Oleg added the use of 6DOF for those who have trackers and conventional "gunsight view" button from IL-2 for non-trackers to place head infront of gunsight
