We got something in common then. I'm home, too ... mononucleosis (wherever I caught that one).

csThor in Denmark we call that illness for "Kissing sickness". So have you kissed someone recently that could be the possible colpret? Get ready for 6 months of no alcohol and being fatiqued all the time. great fun

Oleg I have seen that models of planes and vehicles have hinges that can be manipulated. Is this also a feature that the player will be allowed to use? Like opening hatches on a tankturret or opening the cockpit of a fighterplane?
And will this feature also be applied to human figures? So the player will be able to position the arms and such of the body?

From the beginning we are making all things openable... I dopn't know how many of these features will go in final reelase... but as with Il-2 this means we will modify the code that to use the BASE input at initial development. With the release we will have AA-guns controlbale by player... this is intersting for Online, but it will also works in a single missions, if you only like to create such.

And as I told... the code will be partially open in terms of modification with the use out of normal fixed parameters and code servers...

In time I think we may see even U-boat controlable The water is transparent in engine.

That was the first thing that came to my mind, when I saw those riverbeds being modelled in those magazine-scans quite a while ago.


Can you give us a hint about the airborne radar? I remember a previous statement, where you stated this will be possible in SoW, but you were not sure wether this will be in the initial release. Looking at the antennas on the Beaufighter, has the decision been made in the meanwhile?

Same was for radio navigation, if I remember that quote correctly.

Thanks.

Airborne radars (onboard) will be only on AI aircraft with the release.
We don't plan to model with the first release night fighers. Too much work for the too small effect in gamplay. The first thing is important that will be economicallyy right in development.

However I do think in future if the BoB will be successful, then we may work over such things as well. As well as third party developers.

Same here in Germany (and my parents asked the same), but no - that's not the source. Single by choice and conviction.
