I don't know yet what we'll give the user access to. I don't see the need to alter the weathering per se, and the disadvantages probably outweigh the benefits.

We just got really tired of seeing the offensive or the really, really ugly user skins on Il-2 servers. And if we open up the riveting and the weathering and all the rest, then we doom the rest of the community to the same.

Point taken.

I know what you mean. There are great skinners and not so great skinners.

Thanks Oleg and Luthier for these amazing videos.



Some questions about the benefit of coloring/riveting/weathering of the future BoB skin.

1. Will the static planes available in the future BoB Full Mission Builder (FMB) be "skin-able" ?


This is the point.

Now that the internal structures of some of the player/AI aircraft will become available, like on this screenshot.








2. Will it be possible to represent some partialy or fully boned static aircraft ?

This nice opportunity will add some atmosphere/immersion to an airfield scene if aircraft worked in maintenance or damaged due to combat became visible as on the pictures below.

Very nice videos!

And as always some nice details that are off the focus

It sure looks like BoB has come a long way, even in the last months. Really something big on the horizon.

Oleg; The Lysander, we need to fly it so we can pick up our shot down friends in France ...

Oleg, stunnnig. Great job!
But....
sounds of the engines are like in IL2....tbh....also it seams that you used engine sound of Bf109 in spitfire (I guess that is because its still beta, and that you dont have sound of Merlin engine ready yet).
