Friday 2010-11-19 Dev. update and Discussion

[Zorin]

Very convincing update.

I especially like the new water splash/distortion after the impact in that He111 shot.

One thing I did notice though is a grammar mistake.

"I'm going for the leader from the first element."

I do believe that it should actually be: "I'm going for the leader of the first element."

In the last picture of the 3rd part: Is the He 111 gunner wounded or dead?

AN IMPORTANT REQUEST (sorry but the caps are necessary here)

I think it would be EXTREMELY helpful to be able to settle different joystick settings for each aircraft in the game (after all, it's just some lines in the config files)

No, no, no, Lutheir, you had it right the first time .

I actually don't think that an "American" translation is needed for the BoB release. It might be required for a future update to the sim, but even as an American I am going to be "British" when playing BoB....I'll need to develop a taste for fish and chips and boiled meat though... . It really is not difficult to read the British version.

I think the clickable cockpits should allay the fears of those who think they might run out of keyboard buttons. Some of the options shown in this update (radio frequencies and such) will only come up in non-combat situations where a pilot can take some time in setting them. The combat stuff needing instant access can be left on the keyboard.

Dang this is looking good, my wife is going to be angry...

Nearly photorealistic in some shots.

It looks like the tracers have spiral smoke now. I suppose that the previous round "puffs", frankly horrible, where a placeholder, am I right?

[choctaw111]

There are some great things in the controls menu.
Will we actually see the ground crew removing the chocks?

Edit...with all of these new features, the serious simmer will HAVE to make a simpit for all of this stuff

[rakinroll]

Thanks Oleg.

To save me trolling as I guess someone has already asked this question.....

so...

Does anyone know what the spec of the PC's that were used at the Igromir 2010 show in the 'Battle of Britain' exhibit?

I know that they were under powered for the sim...but it would still be valid info to have an idea of what may be needed upon release...

Thanks...

From memory: I5 processors, 2 GB RAM (the minimum is 3) and an nvidia GTX 460.
The poor fps in some of the videos was due to memory loss as a consequence of the insubstantial RAM. I'm sure there was a picture posted somewhere of the complete specs, but I can't find it ATM...
