I have a question in regards to "pilot animations"...

I wonder if it will be possible to have your AI wingman communicate through hand signals and visual body gestures. As people know...before the wide spread use of radios fighter pilots communicated through visual gestures. This could also be a nice feature for observing radio silence or for when a radio gets destroyed. I'm not sure of the standardized signals (of the era), but the old "point at eyes with the V signal and then indicate a direction" is easy enough to understand.

I understand that this is a feature that might not make it into the first release of the game...but their are some theaters of the war where this feature could really add the immersion of game play....Thanks !!!!

It isnt working.

So why the passive aggressive behavior and back handed insults ? Is it fruitful behavior ? The only accomplishemnt so far is a temporary ban on your account . Are trying for more?

Now you may say that my intent is only to harass you.....but the difference is ......everyone here enjoys that.


Luthier--- Thanks for another great update. Much appreciated.

That seems a bit un-called for...he is entitled to his opinion, and it was stated in a civilized manor.

Tree_UK is persistently pessimistic just put him on your ignore list.

Tree_UK does bring up the same points frequently; so do I, and so do most of the forum regulars. We all have our favourite things to moan about. For this is not a forum to discuss IL-2 - this is a forum to winge and moan.

I've moderated much bigger, much younger communities than this: and they're usually more respectful. Perhaps because their authors don't feel that their opinions are so important. People who play IL-2 are very concerned with the validity of their opinions.

The IL-2 community is just as immature as any other - why, just look at how our moderator gets torn to shreds on SimHQ for his own immature remarks. No point in posting the links, I know he'll remove them.

I'll probably get banned for this, and frankly couldn't care less. It's about time I stopped 'contributing' here and just used it to note Oleg's news. There are so many, much better places to discuss flight sims.

Thats a bit unfair, im not pessimistic, im realistic, you told me i was pessimistic when i suggested that SOW would most likely be released in March 2010 back in March 2009, now on the scale of things i was being overly optimistic. Also I was told I was pessimistic and frankly rubbished by most on here when I announced that ubisoft were no longer involved in the project , I think now that most would agree that that is most certainly the case.
I am very pleased with the progress of SOW, and furthermore I simply love the work Oleg and team do, and I will gladly praise him for it all day long, but it does not mean I have to hang on his every word or believe everything he says regarding 'hinted' release dates like some here do. I think that it is good and healthy for debate to have a balance on the forums from all perspectives as long as we all believe in the product which i am certain we all do.
