Oleg Maddox's Room #2 QUESTIONS & REQUESTS TO OLEG ABOUT BOB SOW

DK-nme · #1 10-24-2009, 08:44 PM

Hi Oleg.

What nice news and what nice images. Just have one or two things I hope will be altered, before game is being released - the terrain coloring (has already been mentioned) and the cloud-textures.
I can't see any difference between il-2 Sturmovik clouds and those portraited in the new update images - sorry, may be my fault (I find, that the cottonball clouds look similar to those in the PF)...
Here's more what could be expected to encounter on the sky over great britain (or the pacific, for that matter):

(done by VPmedia, I believe)
and...

...and by the way, the Birds of Prey terrains look awesome. Couldn't those landscapes be altered to fit into the SoW?

A Request for Combined Keystrokes with the JOYSTICK Included

In the controls of IL-2 Sturmovik, you can set up combined keystrokes like "Ctrl+E", "Shift+P", and so on. However, in each of these commands, both keys involved have to be on the keyboard. For example, you cannot set up for a command a keystroke combination like this: "Shift+Joystick Button 1".

So it would be great if the Joystick is to be included in key combinations in the controls of SoW.

Much talk about graphics. I'm interested in the flight model.

Does SOW use the same flight model/ calculations of IL2? I would like to see higher fidelity model, or completely redsigned one.

i have a question
why are a cockpit of a car on folder of Storm of War? i was thinking that sorm of war was a Combat Flight simulator.

Beacuse there will be the option for 3rd parties to make vehicles driveable

I think you may need to look closer, I've never seen anything like this in IL-2:

Notice this is all dependent on sun angle as well, the pics you posted look nice but are more like an oil painting. I think these clouds will behave much more like they do in real life.

The fact that the clouds are modeled in such a way that the exact same cloud can appear puffy like a cotton ball but then at a certain angle look swirling and majestic I found quite impressive. It suggests that there could be wide variation of how one cloud can look under certain conditions - where something like BoP, it looks nice, but is more like a still image.

Clouds in BoB moving and changing in time.

Some time later, when we will correct all "bugs" and it will be tuned - I will begin to show some videos. But not now. Probably several months later from now. Everything in parallel progress of tunings, like it was shown at the same stages of Il-2 before its first release.

The problem comparing to other, say shooter games - we need to make such things everywhere looking right - on any altitude, but not only in limited box-view. And it is hundred times more complex.
