PA-Sniv Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 So, no english stream... Let's hope for dev diary today then!
Feathered_IV Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Nice cutscene. Sort of makes me think of the atmosphere of the old CFS2. In a good way.
Blooddawn1942 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Nice cutscene. Sort of makes me think of the atmosphere of the old CFS2. In a good way. Yes! They look highly athmospheric!
Blooddawn1942 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Nice! Overall it looks very very promising! Both thumps up!
71st_AH_Hooves Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Look cool. Simple yet effective. Bravo chaps!!!
csThor Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Well, it's not the type of campaign I'd favor but a) I'm a particularly nutty person when it comes to historical details and b) I understand the ressource/manpower/cost issues involved. Hopefully we may see some user-made campaigns once the editor is out and people start getting used to it. Edited September 19, 2014 by csThor 2
Good991 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 nooooo I missed it what are the most important features? 1
themski Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 nooooo I missed it what are the most important features? Me too! So no patch/updates today, only stream?
ST_ami7b5 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I like the interface and look forward to try the content itself.
Feathered_IV Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 It looks more like a QMB with rewards, rather than a unit level campaign. We'll have to see how it plays out I guess. Gotta start somewhere though.
Blooddawn1942 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Me too! So no patch/updates today, only stream? They mentioned in the stream, that we get a dev blog later today.
=LD=Hethwill Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 It looks more like a QMB with rewards, rather than a unit level campaign. We'll have to see how it plays out I guess. Gotta start somewhere though. That is correct, and although we don't have the squadron selection so to simulate their mission types I kind of like the mission generation idea, where history is simply a background and not the driving factor, so we don't mimic their missions exactly. As I wasn't expecting nothing, as they said it would be different from RoF, I was pleased with the presentation. Only let down was the Full & Short modes, with no mandatory takeoff and landing on one of them. But comes into play with what Loft said some time ago. It caters for the guys that still learning the ropes... but...before you fly you must takeoff right !?
ST_ami7b5 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I saw extra points for take-off and landing (25 each IIRC) so it could be a motivation...
oneeyeddog Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 In the cutscene I did notice Pz 2s, barrage balloons, and ships being attacked on the river. I'm aware this cutscene is supposed to be a 'historical' prelude but I hope its a portent of things to come. 1
Finkeren Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) In the cutscene I did notice Pz 2s, barrage balloons, and ships being attacked on the river. I'm aware this cutscene is supposed to be a 'historical' prelude but I hope its a portent of things to come. Well, both things, river barges and tethered balloons were done quite well in RoF. No reason, why we shouldn't see them once the thaw sets in Edited September 19, 2014 by Finkeren
Finkeren Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Did anyone record it? The devs usually records it themselves (free of any lag or disturbances, and put it on Youtube. Edited September 19, 2014 by Finkeren
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Only let down was the Full & Short modes, with no mandatory takeoff and landing on one of them. But comes into play with what Loft said some time ago. It caters for the guys that still learning the ropes... but...before you fly you must takeoff right !? the long version is for take offs and landings, short version is for your in the air heading to the way points. you can either land or wait for mission accomplishments. not every one has the time to fly a whole mission. they just want to get in and do the mission straight off the bat, and then get off computer. Do some honey do's, and spend time with the family, this is the whole point of what Loft has stated. Then when you do have time for full realism you can do it.
themski Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 They mentioned in the stream, that we get a dev blog later today. Neat, can't wait. Hope we're getting convergence and custom convergence for all guns, e.g. no convergence for nose guns and 250m for wing guns.
Krause Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Waiting for the youtube video of the stream

True that Mastiff and thanks for showing it out. Usually I go for sim when I have the time and never when spending time with others, so the distinction doesn't exist for me, therefore my brain filtered other possibilities off the bat. Long version had regress and landing as optional though, last mandatory waypoint shown was the Mission exit point. Anyway, from the times shown in the video it would be some 10 minutes flying plus similar time on mission zone, so I can guess 30 minutes should be enough for the Fullest version
39bn_pavig Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Anyway, from the times shown in the video it would be some 10 minutes flying plus similar time on mission zone, so I can guess 30 minutes should be enough for the Fullest version If the mission generator is anything like RoF (and it looks like it may be underneath) then the variation of missions and mission lengths could be quite large. Keep in mind that flight paths may take you through active war zones where enemy planes may try to hunt you down. It won't just be a matter of "fly to objective, kill it, fly home."
-Roy-Cheesy-Chops Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I think i'd like my money back its all just to much for me sorry

Yes, just commenting on what I saw. I am sure we will have enough fabric for a full suit. And damn us to a cockpit heat when the full editor is made public !
sallee Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Waiting for the youtube video of the stream Me too...together with all the others at the bottom of the page by the looks of it!At least we have time to buy the popcorn...
1CGS LukeFF Posted September 19, 2014 1CGS Posted September 19, 2014 Long version had regress and landing as optional though, last mandatory waypoint shown was the Mission exit point. Correct, landings are optional on Long missions, but you receive more points by landing at your home airfield.
Zak Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 no update today? I'm gonna post a brief Dev blog and the stream video within an hour - two max. Thanks for patience, gents. 7
SvAF/F19_Klunk Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Looking forward to the stream.. Caught the last 5 minutes.. Looked interesting!
Vaxxtx Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 XP points? More XP points for landing? I assume XP points for shooting planes? Do we get "Critical Hit!!!" flashing across the screen too? Not what I was hoping for. Ill wait to comment more until I have seen the stream.

Although, I agree that XP might be a little tacky, maybe they could use something like X number of plane/ground kills to unlock things.
Voidhunger Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Its a big, big disappointment for me. (the new campaign), but i understain that they dont have enough resorce to do better single player campaign. But i know that even if they hade more resorces in the future, they wouldnt make it
