Game version 2.001 discussion: Battle of Moscow

[Han]

Update 2.001

 

Dear pilots,

 

We're proud to announce that the work on Battle of Moscow project is done and we're ready to show you this version. Customers who pre-purchased Battle of Moscow and don't have Battle of Stalingrad can access the game today (previously only the players who own both theaters of war could play the Battle of Moscow). The campaign is ready, now it includes scenario missions (two per chapter) and video cutscenes. Many improvements for the campaign are already in and more will follow, we'll continue to improve it. This version also contains many flight model, plane systems and other sim modules improvements. We hope that this version will be a milestone and will bring you many new and interesting features to try.

Cheers.

[Jizzo]

Fantastic work gentlemen!

[Swear]

BoS won't launch now...Will try re-installing

[Blooddawn1942]

That came unexpected. Thank You very much!!!

[=FEW=Hauggy]

Thanks! Just finished downloading ^^

Very nice patch!

Can't wait to fly over Moscow on Wings of Liberty.

P.S I hope you fixed the missing sound glitch in the Pe-2 gunner seat.

Lovely!

 

Any news on 109 jumpiness?

 

Sometimes a patch introduces a placebo effect but it'll be interesting to hear subjective impressions of the 109 and 190 post patch.

There was no mention of any FM changes to the 109. I, therefore, wouldn't expect any in this patch. The FM review was listed as a long term project in an earlier DD and I would think BoM was the higher priority for the moment.

If you already updated the game via launcher, but keep getting 'failed to update' error at the end of installation, please close the launcher, delete the file IL-2\updates\16-05-18_install-actions and re-run the launcher, it should complete the install.

 

This script runs the redistributables required by the game, if you get an error when trying to launch the game itself, please navigate to IL-2\data\redist folder and run the Visual C++ and .Net installers manually.

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Awesome! The AI gunners change will make bombers much more deadlier

 

Cant wait for whats next

Thanks Sneaksie - that seems to have fixed it.

[Pharoah]

hopefully they've changed/corrected the BOM campaign missions where, in the BF110, you can be sent on an intercept mission by yourself against two flights of PE-2s escorted by 2 or so flights of P40s. Thats a friggin suicide mission. 

[6./ZG26_Emil]

Awesome news thanks and congrats!!

[Trooper117]

Any update is welcome, thank you... I was sad to see though that the leveling up system in the SP campaign remains the same... looking forward to the next update.

[LLv34_Temuri]

Cheers! Now we can start waiting for the announcement of the next theater!

[kileab]

Some nice changes, thx.

[BlackSix]

Try to play scenario missions. Complexity of these missions doesn't depend on your rank.

[6./ZG26_Emil]

Blacksix is this the official release?

[SCG_Neun]

Thanks guys!  

[BlackSix]

Blacksix is this the official release?

No, BOM is in the early access but customers who pre-purchased Battle of Moscow and don't have Battle of Stalingrad can access the game today (previously only the players who own both theaters of war could play the Battle of Moscow).

[LLv44_Damixu]

When premium planes for BoM will be available to purchase?

[616Sqn_Johnny-Red]

Good job devs! looking forward to seeing the new changes in-game soon as my update completes.

 

Anyone know if version 1.201 tracks will still play?

 

Also, I'm getting a Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable window with the following options

 

• Repair
• Uninstall
• Close

Repair or close?

 

*Update*

 

I realised that the 'Install' option was unavailable because I must already have the current C++ version - sadly I worked this out after hitting 'Repair' which led to a reboot and dumped my game update cache. After a restart I've just re-run the update, selecting the 'Close' option for C++ and it's now loading (and running) fine.

 

*Update*

 

One flight track tested - one flight track playing back just fine

failed to update...

[Geralt]

Sorry for not freaking out of enthusiasm about the "great news" ... just one simple question ... when will Battle of Moscow be available on DVD ?

 

I dont want a "download-version", I want to be able to buy the game on DVD in a shop here in my town.

Edited May 18, 2016 by Geralt

[TP_Silk]

I wonder if the update failures are anything to do with whether or not the original BoS install was Steam or Direct version?
