Friday 2010-11-12 Dev. update and Discussion

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).

Still can't get over how the light reflects off the Stuka skin. You can actually see the metal skin bend slightly outwards between the rivet lines, and the light falling off the resulting small bulges...

I'd love to see how a Mustang from the Korea project would look with this

Sorry to change the subject so abruptly but 2 questions come suddenly to my mind.

- As wind is modeled, will we have cross wind landings in BoB ?

- Will we have complete cloud overcast ? Correct me if I'm wrong but this feature hasn't been shown yet in the Friday's previews.

1. yes. This was in Il-2. In BoB it is by more complex calcualtiuons.

2. I think yes if you have seen demonstration of the DVD from Il-2 1946 box set . Currently we are working over it that to make it in final release with all or part of features that we even din't mentioned in the past. There is problem with frame rate with the super realistic visuals and effect of all flows. Maybe we will need to decrease the amount of some features that are in code and not working proper at the moment. Russian visitors at exhibition were able to look Full Mission Builder where all weather effects were described in menus of selections . But it doesn't means they all will be in final. Better to make less than buggy.

Excellent, looking forward to this.

That's true, we have seen some total overcast in the Il2 1946 additional CD.

I can understand that weather effect are not easy to model as they affect the view of all other objects and I think everyone can wait some after release patches to have the full set of meteorogical effects.

Great work !!!

Moving along this theme, I noticed in the nighttime shot the moon had a halo of cloud surrounding around it.

Will searchlights illuminate cloud cover at night?

Will large scale fires from night time raids be moddled and will the cloud cover above them glow?

Cheers!
