when i rided a motorbike to looked back i looked down( since i was leaned) rather than using the mirrors

 

i had a helmet on which restricted quite much the view and still i hardly turned my head to do so

 

also check out the lateral design of wwii goolgles

personally i dislike this new tech and i would be disapointed if i spent a fortune on it just to discover afterwards i cant look back cause my eyes are fixed like an owls

Then I would try it before I bought it if I were you.

Hi Manu,

 

No problem with that, would you please remind them that it's ALPHA footage and does not represent the final product?

No problem mate, and thanks for the footage  :salute:

Thanks for the snippets Manu. I honestly hope each plane to be as close to what they were, aerodynamically, as it is possible in a computer code way. Favourite thing is to learn each aircraft in both its deficiencies and strengths against opponents.

[...]. I honestly hope each plane to be as close to what they were, aerodynamically, as it is possible in a computer code way. Favourite thing is to learn each aircraft in both its deficiencies and strengths against opponents.

 

The thing that stood out the most for me is the different ways the airplanes reacted. The planes behave totally different on stalling For those who think it's arcade..forget it. The Lagg and 109 need different ways of pulling out of a stall., Jason and Loft explained some of the math models these builts have. e.g. Pull out too late and the airplanes will act accordingly...and that is nasty :)

Looking great! The map reminded of ROF's, when you set the difficulty level you don't have any navigation aids and need to use landmarks in the terrain to figure out where you are and where to go. I wonder there will be any penalties if you land at the wrong friendly airbase?

Wowsers, the armoured canopy REALLY restricts the view sideways! - And there is a big improvement when the canopy is opened. I hope the penalties for flying with an open canopy will be sufficiently big to discourage it, even with the viewing field advantage. I imagine reduced speed, roaring wind noise and lessened protection of the pilot would be factors that could discourage a-historical open-canopy flying.   

 

I get the feeling the mod for the Bf 109 that allows some of the headrest armor to be removed will be a popular one. I found that when looking upwards, that big hunk of steel really restricted my view. Removing it allows a much better field of view, albeit at the cost of reduced protection.

I actually own a pair (repro, not originals), and they are actually quite restricting. Even without them, I have to turn my head 130 degrees or so to look behind me, perhaps you have better peripheral vision than me.

anyone noticed the speed drop of 20 km/h in the il-2 video, when the cockpit was opened?

The Lagg-3 with the M105PF engine was the later version of of the 1942 model and was pretty much standard from nov.42 forward. The M105PF was, as I recall, only 100 hp more powerful than the previous version, but the airplane was also a bit lighter than previous version which gave it better overall performance. STAVKA built up an inventory of 200-300 in the fall specifically so they could be used in the november 1942 offensive.

 

...so, nothing to see here...:)

Looking bloody good.

 

Gotta preorder the game tomorrow...

 

 

That map is pure placeholder as with everything related to GUI and effects.

 

Jason

 

Well, even if it is a placeholder, it is looking mighty good. Actually I was like Freycinett :" damn, that is a nice touch!"

 

 

Personally I think the game is looking good. And by looking, I dont only mean "looking" good.

Devs seem to have the eyes the ball with all the important aspects, flight characteristics and solid base engine.

If you have a good foundation in your proverbial house, it is easy to build upon it in the later patches//updates//addons.

 

And the project management seems to be awake at the wheel as well!

Good , timely, updates (especially the video one was dandy) and straightforward communication with the community.

 

 

Carry on carrying on gents!

Tried to convert the .mts file into something readable but did not succeed in doing so.

 

@Benz: Let's hope for a YT upload.

I was in Germany last week (Münich) but it is a bit too far away from Köln to take a visit.

No problems with Win7, MTS is indeed a codec used for HD with Sony and Panasonic. I bet that others convert them to a more compact version like mp4. Or the OS converts it to the awful avi.

Foobar,

 

No problem. Manu hasn't been online yet, so if it's uniform format like that, i'm just cheering to it.
