4.11 Development Update

[{HVY-E}Jinxx]

Myself and some friends are working on modelling a CORRECT cockpit and stations for the B-17.

Who do I need to contact to get this into an official patch?



Would also like to know if TD is going to or is working on adding the ability for bombers to set salvo and drop interval.

Wow this looks very nice! Are you posting your progres on somewhere online? It would be nice to see more renders and to follow the project.

As for the TD contact, I believe it's daidalos/dot/team/at/gmail/dot/com

@Jinxx: I admire your enthusiasm, but your build is lightyears from being compliant with Il-2 or even CoD standard, as you have used way to many polys already.

[Dimon]

B-17 project too.

[Sita]

other renders about B17 you may look at AAA forum...

What Zorin, Dimon and Sita said:

1. Your model is too high-poly for IL-2 standards.
2. There is another B-17 model in the works by guy, called Messer and a) it's in more advanced state; b) it's made to the IL-2 technical standards.

Hence, I suggest you to contact him and try to cooperate.

PS You may take the above as an official DT point of view.

We (Our team) understand about the Poly count. This is only stage 1 of our modeling. We are already looking at reducing the count as much and where ever possible. Holes are currently there for us as markers for the gauges. Same with a lot of the 3D levers and such. Many of them will be reduced to 2D to save poly. We are also looking at using a poly reducer on the model when complete.

I'm merely looking for guidance from the TD Team so I know what we need to do to ensure compliance, functionality and inclusion in IL-2.

As far as Mercer's Pit....
Yes, he has gotten a lot farther, but isn't that the pit that he was asking $5,000 to develop?

We're doing ours for the love of the game. Not the all mighty dollar, euro, ruble etc.....
