Autumn landscape looks highly promising, that is a new one in the IL2 series as well. Driveable vehicles, yes, please

One thing that's got me wondering, what's the third part of the ground simulation? People, maybe?

If they really want a full scale war simulator, they are going to need infatry indeed.

Love it! Thank you!

First they need a tree collision model. I mean driving vehicles/tanks etc with fully tree collision is now even more a must!

I cant wait to desparately want to emergency land my plane and dont find a clear field without trees!

But AoA is kinda right... I hope MG know where their priorities should lie! Basically it should be a fully functional Flight Simulator. Not a battle simulator which can do all a little, but nothing in the whole

[zakkandrachoff]

o very nice , very nice.
now, you try to convert a nice flighjt simulator to an vert Arcadew version of Battlefield 1., yep , very nice.



SO TRAGIC!

why dont waste the time on fix more stuff, or miplementing rational things, why?

I see that some people get upset when the devs preview new content that may not be related to there agenda.

Do these same people go to restuarants and complain that the dishwasher is not cooking there food, I can see it now, "why is that guy doing dishes? clearly my soup is more important!?

Wake up folks, different people do different jobs so that guy making cars is not going to fix your FM or graphics engine, but damn, if he makes cool cars for our flight sim, give him credit and dont buzz kill every preview of new content/features.

The devs stopped releasing new content for CoD because people(that dont fly the sim/just the forums) complained.

Well done whiners, you just completed your first objective!

If anyone had paid attention to the updates pre-release or taken one simple look at the controls section of IL2COD, I think it was pretty clear that we'd be driving vehicles (if not more) at some point in development cycle. That is just one aspect of the big picture they are doing. And I think it's phenomenal.

Yeah it not exactly "NEW" news, but I do agree that the basics should be worked on first so this might mean they have it running perfectly

A general swipe at people not joining into the choir singing glory halleluya isn't particularly smart, either. Ground object modellers could do ground objects, such as the ones I listed, or even - heaven forbid - new models for the planned sequel (since the Eastern Front does need a decent bunch).

Although I have to agree with the notion that this could be a lot less about Maddox Games priorities and a lot more about funny ideas of some 1C-beancounter-suitwearing-humorless-tiehidestheuglysoul-type salesman.

Yes they could Thor, but if you remember, the reason we were told the ships were slacked off on was because of all the people complaining about the 1st additional one they built. So in Luthiers own words "why build anymore" or something similar because of people complaining. Slap the gift horse in the mouth enough times, and they'll slap back.

But hey, lets all complain because we are getting an update with new features. So possible they can stop working on this too. Good call.
