Friday 2010-11-19 Dev. update and Discussion

Nobody noticed there is a drop-down-menu for choosing a different category than "aircraft"?

Very nice.

I like the new GUI - looks very decent and modern, without all the graphical nonsense.


Oh, and +1 Vote for the US-language-version.

and -1 for "make it available in all languages" - I want to play BoB within the next 10 years and I don't care if it's in lower-mandarin-chinese.

Also that 'Oil Radiator' is usually referred to as 'Oil Cooler'

The inclusion of the poor old Defiant is excellent.

Many Thanks

careful - might end up with 'single ground crew remove and break shoes' er sumpn...

better cancel the project - thanks Ilya

Carburetor = American spelling

And as this sim is about the Battle of Britain...

EDIT: another spelling thingie
'Toggle Horizontal Stablizier' should be 'Toggle Horizontal Stabilizer' or (again English spelling) 'Stabiliser'

I'm sorry but I refuse to release a game with planes that have a "carburettor" and an "airscrew" and an "empennage".

The project is now canceled.

This Canuck votes with the gentleman from California. We likes American spellings But it's a kind gesture to provide alternatives for those who like the extra "t" in carburetor etc.

Lovely update, Oleg. It's great to see the Defiant in the game. I know it's a minor part of the sim, but I did send you a detailed picture of a Defiant gunner (in colour) to show the GQ Parasuit which they wore. Will you model this in the game? It's only a cosmetic part, so really it's a bit inconseqiential, but I was just interested (because of my love for RAF BoB gear).

Also, the Defiant gunners had problems bailing-out. Will this be modelled, too? (sorry if it's been asked before, but I don't remember seeing it posted )

Keep up the excellent work. The Menu looks really easy to operate, which I think is great. I quite like the contemporary look, too. It reminds me of Brothers in Arms.

Will there be a demo in game on the proper use of engine controls such as the impeller? I am not that versed in aeronautical enginerring. My typing and spelling could use some work as well
lol.

That's all.

Primary and secondary radio navigation frequency, is this like Knickebein and Wotan (X Verfahren “Funkstrahl”) you simulate radio beacon (Funkfeuer) too?


can you tell something about smoke and fire.
Can we see the big smoke, (burning city) in a long distance?
I read bomber crew to see smoke from 30km distance, the point of the destination, this show the way to the target

Still wait for a map editor BoB map screenshot

Sorry, your feedback is very much appreciated of course!

We hope to have both US and UK spellings of all texts, if we catch them all.
