Game version 2.003 discussion: BOM release, new features

[Jizzo]

Congrats on official BoM release and the new gunsounds are really sweet!  

[LLv24_SukkaVR]

Can't wait for the Kuban announcement and my new Yak-1B!

 

You mean the Pacific?   That would be better IMO

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Fantastic update, thank you! This game gets better and better every couple of weeks, the development pace is amazing

 

By the way Jason, a quick correction to the collector's plane part of the store: in the La-5's description, Nikolay Gulaev's name is mentioned. However, to my sketchy best knowledge and according to the sources I found (example) Gulaev obtained all of his victories with the Yak-1 and P-39, mainly the latter. I would suggest replacing his name there with Kirill Yevstigneev's (brief in English, Russian in depth). Yevstigneev started his streak of victories together with Kozhedub at 240 IAP, and flew the very La-5 we have here until 1944. He then received an La-5F by Konev (farmer, not general) together with Kozhedub, which he flew until the end of the war.

HE infects less damage now, is that correct? I think it feels believable though.

[Jade_Monkey]

i took quite a bit of a fps hit anyone else ? i may try a full reinstall,  the new guns are cool.

 

I wasn't measuring but it was still decent and totally worth it. You can finally see the edge of the runway as you takeoff and land.

Thank you devs! I just got to play a bit and the gun sounds are absolutely amazing! You can tell the cadence of the mgs and the big cannon shells.

 

The grass improvement was awesome too!

 

I felt like the ground textures from above were sharper and crisper, with less shimmering but that could be placebo.

 

Regardless great update, and I wish you all the best.

hh NO, please give back the old Gunfire sounds!!! This is my first post in this Forum since i bought BOS/BOM in 02/2015. The new Gunfire Sounds felt i drum on a virtuell Drum-Instrument... not like a Gun!!! 

I can not play with this terrible Sounds. For me this is the End of the IL2 Games...Oooh or wait for a patch. 

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Keep the sounds!!! Major improvement. Really nice work devs

[=GW=xshinel]

Congratulations on the BOM launch, thank you DEV team.

 

I love the new sound effect, especially the .50 cal, but seems the sound of MG151 and MGFF in 109E7 are the same, are they same in the history?

[GrendelsDad]

FFB effects are much better.  Ground feedback is awesome.  Like the new gun sounds, better than before, maybe a bit loud?

[simplyjames]

Wow the new gun sounds are amazing!

Congratulations on the Steam release.

I'm looking forward to trying out the new update.

 

Cheers.

Now that we have aerobatic smoke, I wonder if there are any plans to add generators for smoke screens too. The Russians quite often used such smoke and the Il-2, LaGG-3 and other planes could be equipped with generators. Moreover it would be nice to add smoke bombs, like the German NC 50.

[XQ_Lothar29]

This option works only with Ultra graphics settings. Do you choose Ultra?

My problem with  More Grass Settings. Look the video

 

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Congrats on the Steam release. Good updates too. Well done. Looking forward to the next theater announcement.

[Habu]

Yes, All time work in Ultra.. No understand

Carefull,

 

The extend visibility of grass work with High and Ultra settings. You have to go in Graphic settings and check the box grass visibility. You have to re launch the game.

 

To multiplayer players, check the connexion settings in the game because that patch reset our settings.

Not now. The first version was a presset which work only with Ultra settings (as you said), but it changed, and it's a very good things.

Habu, Good morning from spain.. You look my video?

Hi, good morning from France.

 

Ok, i just look the begining, because i have to go to work. It seems that the grass setting is not register with your game, because when you relaunch the game, the checkbox is not set. Are other test the Ultra settings, because i test the High setting with the release, ans it works.

 

Where is install your game ?

 

I have to go, see you tonight if someone don't find the solution before.

[Gump]

interesting gun sounds now...can hear the metallic recoil (and shell ejection?) in the la5 (and others?).

.

extended grass means I wont be fooled (as much) into heading the wrong direction for taxi.

[No601_Swallow]

 

32. AI planes in multiplayer will attack human pilots more aggressively.

 

Many many thanks for this fix! It works! AI will now (once again) attack player-controlled aircraft in MP without being attacked first!

 

This was an issue for coop-style MP missions, and I'm very glad the problem was recognised by the devs and a solution was found. Outstanding stuff.

[Voidhunger]

Sounds are great but too loud. And with the new grass option i have stutters back on the ground.

[Luger1969]

Morning Chaps. Thanks very much for the release and looking forward to new pre-orders.

Thank's a lot. 

A few very nice features in there. Improvements in the campaign are always welcome

And thank's for letting us fly on the Mosocow Map in MP

[pilotpierre]

All good, well done all round.

[NachtJaeger110]

I can finally fly the P40 now that her guns sound like real 50s

I do however think that they are a little too loud.

 

I LOVE the new FFB effects!

[=GW=xshinel]

The sounds are different. 

You sure? Maybe I should listen more times :D 

[=/WoVi/=kirumovka]

I can hear shell casings drop on a hard floor in the sounds of the cannons. Hmm...

[CF-105]

You mean the Pacific?   That would be better IMO

 

Don't you mean Italy?  

[CF-105]

Lots of people are saying the guns are too loud, but how many of us have sat in these aircraft in flight, while shooting their guns?

If the quantity of noise is your problem, and not the balancing of it, then just turn down the game volume.

I can tell you how loud a 120 HP engine is. It's not difficult to imagine how deafening a 1400+ HP engine must be once you made the expirience of flying in a real aircraft.

 

There is some anecdotal evidence from pilots about the noise of guns when firiring them in the aircraft but regardless of that it will never please everybody. Some people want guns to be loud because they particularily enjoy it, others don't like it because they want t hear the engine and surroundings more clearly.

 

Hence why I think a sound slider for guns would be the best solution.

[Bando]

Thanks for the update and have fun in Moscow.

[JG300_Olrik]

Did anyone notice the "rubber band" flight is back with Bf109 F4. That's what it seems to me. But I may be wrong and nothing changed...

Everything else is good to me, and new gun sounds are ok in spite of they are a bit loud.

[CZEforzamike]

gun sounds are sou much better 

[9./JG27golani79]

I can hear shell casings drop on a hard floor in the sounds of the cannons. Hmm...

 

Think that´s the sound of the ammunition belt advancing.

[Juri_JS]

I've noticed that I can no longer select BoM AI planes in Quick missions on the Stalingrad map (I don't own BoM yet).  The BoM planes don't appear in the list of selectable planes, but when I use the random plane option I still get BoM planes in the missions. Was this done deliberately or is it a bug?

[=FEW=Hauggy]

Very very good update thanks for everything Il-2 team, I'm glad that you decided not to split the community.^^

Can't wait for tante ju.

[Boomerang]

Thank you very, very much.

Gee the team has been very, very busy, it's much appreciated, it truly is!!

Congratulations on the release, all are doing fantastic work!

Looking forward to the campaign, so happy it remained historical.

[sinned]

Holy crap. I jizzed in my pants when I heard new gun sound. I love the sounds of the shells!

 

Can next update include some ways to move HUD for triple monitor users please?
