Developer Diary, Part 77

[clayman]

My oh my .... This just gets more and more alive! Can't wait to try it all out. As usual thank you for all the progress!

It gives some life to the sim especially to pilots who like to fly at tree top level and like to strafe vehicle columns but the soldier that runs away from the train wagon runs as he has to go to the toilet immediately.

From documentaries I know dysentery was an enemy to fear in desert and Stalingrad but I don't think you dev team had that in mind.

Can't help it but that was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw his movements.

 

Another thing I can not get used to are some of the effects. In this case, when bullets hit the ground, snow disappears so quickly and not fluently. 

It is like chop, chop, chop and gone.

Okay, I'll answer some questions here.

No, you can't kill them, they disappear soon after a few seconds of hiding in the snow.

Yes, it's a new animation, nothing has been taken from anywhere.

Yes, we're going to add Tatarenko's single mission to the game today.

Yes, dserver will be available to everyone who has the game after release. FMB will follow later with some delay.

Will we get badgers in the next update? Or newts?

[6high]

Thnx Dev`s for making the game even more mud-mover-friendly

[smink1701]

Another great update from our friends at 777.  Thank you!

[Endy]

It's all coming along beautifully, great news.

[dburne]

Yes, we're going to add Tatarenko's single mission to the game today.

 

 

Glad to hear this.

[Leaf]

This had me in stitches! Newts! LOL

Honestly though, I'd prefer an ocelot. Two, even.

[312_Cherry]

Great news Zak !!!

looking forward to test Tatarenko mission!!!

[Finkeren]

Another great update with lots of content following the enormous effort last weekend?

 

You can definately sense, we're on home stretch now.

[FlyingNutcase]

Another super step for immersion. Good stuff 777. We lov'n it. ~

[ECV56_SkyHell]

Amazing news!

[FokkerH]

simulators almost always seem to be played on a lifeless world. Like another planet. Excellent new development, hopefully they can continue to add more life to the world of the flight simulator. Oustanding!!

 

Thanks to the devs.

 

regards.

"inflamability of Pe-2 and He 111 was also corrected"

 

I do not understand this both planes lighten up as a torch in no time. They catch on fire easily already.

Tatarenko's single player mission?

 

Awwwwww great! Finally more singleplayer stuff!

 

Thanks!

"inflamability of Pe-2 and He 111 was also corrected"

 

I do not understand this both planes lighten up as a torch in no time. They catch on fire easily already.

 

Actually, I believe the statement is accurate.

 

"Inflammability - the quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly"

"Flammability - the quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly"

 

Synonyms, unless I am incorrect.

[steppenwolf]

I am happy to see the infantry in game, but this doesn't seem much different than what was in the original. Is there any plans to make them more reactive, like a 'run' or 'fire rifle' animation?

I expect he means the opposite of what you think he means.  When somebody writes in a foreign language you sometimes have to read between the lines more than just look at the words.

Eh?

What I get is the inflammabilty was corrected, so the are less flammable, y'all....

[SYN_Mike77]

imflamability would have been correct.  So lets call it a typo

[Finkeren]

[Bussard_x]

"Inflammability - the quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly"

"Flammability - the quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly"

Yes you are correct. It is like "entflammbarkeit" in German or "ontvlambaarheid" in Dutch. I should have known.

[Uufflakke]

Don't start this...

 

In Dutch we have the same thing issue with our word for 'defreeze': = 'dooien'.  We also use the word 'ontdooien' which (according the literary rules should mean the opposite -> to freeze) but it means also the same: 'to defreeze'.

No foregner understands. I love it.

[sallee]

Dooien..like "thaw"..can see where it comes from.

The one I always like is the derivations from calidus..which is Latin for warm...so to some it is colder than hot..."cold" "kalt"..while for others it's hotter than cold..."chaud" .

Isn't language great?

No, it's frustrating. Why can't all people just speak good Danish?

[sallee]

I can't even speak bad Danish.

[Rjel]

Like the running men. I hope with time their length of run is a little longer further into development. Still, it's a great start.

[Blooddawn1942]

Is the Update up allready? I´m with a beer away from my sim.PC. So no chance to fire up the Launcher to see what happens. But usually Zak announces when the update is up....

[VR-DriftaholiC]

Actually, I believe the statement is accurate.

 

"Inflammability - the quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly"

"Flammability - the quality of being easily ignited and burning rapidly"

 

Synonyms, unless I am incorrect.

 

either way it didn't really lend towards the meaning of "corrected" It possible they think it's to hard to ignite

[smink1701]

downloading!!!

[CUJO_1970]

Yep looks like it's ready - downloading now.

Update is 197.14 MB.

[Blooddawn1942]

[PIK-AS_Wustenfuchs]

Thanks for the update and new mission (Ghosts in the snow) 

[Dr_Molenbeek]

[fjacobsen]

Because then ingen ville kunne forstå us.....

Dat kan ik bijna verstaan, ja ;O)

[smink1701]

Finished DL and need to enter my userename and password.  But, it's not recognizing!!!

[Nankeen]

Infantry! What a nice surprise this week .

Thank you very much for this. Good news on the EU and US servers.

 

Now that my system is back up and running, (a ssd in raid set died), I'll be sure to enjoy some more BOS action flying one of those goergous planes! 

[Pupo]

i ahve a small problem

 

all my devices are switched ( rudder is throttle, throttle is stick, stick is pedals.... ) any fast way to fix this, instead of going one by one through the key assigment again?
