Friday update and discussions 2011-03-18

[ATAG_Dutch]

Lord above, what a smashing way to discuss what is going to be the thing we all supposedly wanted.

It's becoming obvious that a good deal of the people posting here aren't the slightest bit interested in what's going to come after release.

For what it's worth, both of this week's clips brought a bit of a lump to my throat.

Did anyone hear the baby cry, followed by the menacing throb of engines?

I did.

For those of you that are interested, both of this week's clips brought a bit of a lump to my throat.

I did.

Two questions:

1) What are you talking about?
2) Are you taking your medication?

1) The two fantastic vids we were shown this week and the inane rambling blx that ensued from various quarters.

2) The only medication I take comes either in a pump or in a can, and yes I'd had quite a bit! However, towards the end of the London clip, there is a distinct baby noise followed by engine thrum.

I dont know if this question as been raised before, but does anyone know if after dropping your payload from a bomber in CLOD that your aircraft gains sudden altitude, in the recent video it appeared that one of the bombers did gain altitude after dropping its load which looked real good.

Not sure, could be the camera zooming out if you're referring to the Dornier, the others looked fairly steady, although the altitude gain happens in IL2, so I wouldn't have thought it'd be any different for CoD.

I was wondering this as well but I didn't notice a gain in altitude. I'll have to watch the video again.
There are some things that I notice in a photo or a video that I may notice as not being "right", but they are so minor in comparison to all the great things, I usually don't ever mention it.
One thing I haven't noticed are bullet ricochets, which were talked about by Ilya as being included several years ago in an interview by MysticPuma.
Ricochets would be really great.

Excellent update, can't wait for the release.
If one were to be picky, it'd be nice to see a move away from smoke effects generated from seemingly repeated .tga pictures, but I'm sure when the game's in front of us, things will look very different.

I'd love to see a landing and a take off

Hmm, I thought that reply by you Major was quite insulting and not in character. There is a baby crying in the movie and then you hear the bombers. Quite a poignant moment, at least to those of us who are not only in this forum to slag the sim constantly (not you, others).
