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

[DD_crash]

Will there be a weapon view ? That is a view from the bomb, rocket or torpedo. (I did a quick search but couldnt find any reference)

[mark@1C]

Hi BOSS,
If possible,may be you can do some improvements in the area of pilots view.(I have mentioned it in another post.I don't know if you have read it.)
As you may know,the area of Mods is in a state of confusion.Different Servers use different Mods.I can throw away all of them except some view controlling softwares.So,I think,if you can do something...I am inclined to have a pilots view software by your own team's development,a long term development project which gives a new view of the pilots view.As far as I know,there are FreeTrack,NewView,and 6DoF_Mods,may be you can develop a powerful one intergrating all of their functions.
What I want is,in brief,
every time I play your game,I can use only one pilots view software,join different Servers without "crt=2" problems,and the one itself is a powerful and Work in Improvement one.

Best wishes.

SOW


The Birds of prey graphics are very amazing compare to Il-2 forgotten battles. But I think ( and hope) Storm of War will be THE best.

Now that I have your attention. I need buy a videocard, I have a Quad 9400, a OCZ P&Cool 750W and a Samsung P2350 23" and I was compared GTX 285 or 295 whit ATI 5870… the thing is that Ati 5870 work with DirectX11 (AND THE pice is more low).
What do you think and recomend???
for another way, GTX 275 and ati 4890 are in low pices compared to July 2009, but are ald for the """INCOMINGG 2010"""

Z, I'd go with the HD 5870. Its only just come out so the drivers should add a small improvement (+/- 10% est) as time goes on. It runs cooler, eats less power than the others listed and at this time is the only one of the bunch capable of DX11, I believe SOW will have a DX11 option. The only downside is they are extremely hard to come by ATM but since SOW doesn't come out anytime soon you have time to save up. Though there is no news whether or not SOW will be X-Fire capable.

Yes FLy, here in Argentina the 5870 is over 520U$s , and is not so far away of the 5850 that is in 320 U$S (this too work whit dx11) … I can get right now the 5850, but I have a P&Cool 750W, will be a waste of Power supply if I put the 5850, maybe January I will get 5870 and i will tell about performances in some games 64bits like ArmA2. (hope SOW work only whit 64bits and don’t do anything whit 32bits, that is hold. 4GBRAM are not expensive…)... and i gonna puth another 4GBRAM in 2010 i think

In BoB can we have the option of mapping the mixture control on to a slider (rather than a button).

In Rise of Flight, the mixture control becomes a useful control, rather than the wait till the brown smoke and drop it 20%. Even though it adds to the pilot work load, it it seams more natural after a while.

Cheers

[DefiantMk1]

I apologise if this has been asked already:

Any plans to make the Defiant flyable at some point? I really would absolutely love to be able to fly one in this upcoming sim.

The reasons are simple, firstly my great-uncle was a gunner in one for 141 Squadron during and just after the Battle of Britain (and is listed as one of "the Few" and yes that does make me a bit biased) and secondly I would love to see an experiment done to see if any online team can repeat the success of 264 Squadron over Dunkirk.

Many kind regards,

Matt

Don't worry. It is already better here in every detail.

About hardware i don't tell currently anything. I'm worring if I will give some incorrect suggestion, then we may change something....

Okey, but i need take this decision this month or January. I think Battle of Britain serie will work only fine, not excellent, with the 5850 or the 5870, but will gonna sacrifice some resolution for better texture. Anyway, Battle of Britain or The Flying Tigers will work fine, then in Stalingrad, Mediterranean, Pacific Theater or any big combat whit big movement of troops, land vehicles, ships, and big raids and complex and air combat operations, I will need sacrifice more than resolution and texture. So, This is my question:
The Options of: system, texture on different thinks like: planes, ground, range vision, objects, weather and resolutions, will be in Storm Of War machine for all series the same? or every Series can be modify the options in different ways?

(moved from another thread)

Hi Oleg - can you please confirm in SoW the gunsight won't be "always on"?

I've read various accounts from RAF pilots recounting that they turned their sights on before entering combat, i.e. not during scramble, climb or cruise, and it would be *very* immersive to flick the thing on, have the bulb warm up and appear slowly on the reflector. Presumably there were bulb wear concerns back in the day (and maybe gyros? these may have been caged when the sight was off?).

Having it 'always on' in the hanger or on the runway is one of those niggling detail things that always bugged me, and I've noticed it in every interior screenshot to date.

It was really a terrific sight and quite beautiful. First they seemed just a cloud of light as the sun caught the many glistening chromium parts of their engines, their windshields, and the spin of their airscrew discs. Then, as our squadron hurtled nearer, the details stood out. I could see the bright-yellow noses of Messerschmitt fighters sandwiching the bombers, and could even pick out some of the types. The sky seemed full of them, packed in layers thousands of feet deep. They came on steadily, wavering up and down along the horizon. 'Oh, golly,' I thought, 'golly, golly . . .'

And then any tension I had felt on the way suddenly left me. I was elated but very calm. I leaned over and switched on my reflector sight, flicked the catch on the gun button from 'Safe' to 'Fire,' and lowered my seat till the circle and dot on the reflector sight shone darkly red in front of my eyes.

Cheers!
