PA-Sniv Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) One year ago, founders had their first experience flying BoS in first Early access session: LaGG-3 - single player - 50x50km Lapino test map - no armament - 32% development I still remember downloading it, the IL-2 in hangar, the beautiful exhaust flames (tuned down now), the stunning ground handling and inertia, the variety of static airplanes, and taking her for a ride above Lapino map! Happy birthday BoS! Time flies! Edited November 19, 2014 by PA-Sniv 2
Sim Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Happy birthday, BoS! Also, don't forget that on this day, 72 years ago, the Soviets launched Operation Uranus!
I/JG27_Rollo Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 One year already? Holy cow! Happy birthday then!

AndyJWest Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Was that a year ago already? It doesn't seem that long. I can still remember finding out how tree collisions worked for the first time: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/3892-post-your-screenshots-vids-here/?p=50895 Anyway, happy birthday BoS - and here's hoping we see many more. See you next year in Kuban or Kursk maybe?
tovarisch Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Congratulations to the devs....keep your patiente with us...the sims crazy players. Keep it up, for this great sim.
AndyHill Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Coincidence or not, but yesterday was the 13th anniversary of the US release of the original Il-2 Sturmovik. European release was on the 30th.

-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Happy Birthday from myself and from New Wings .... Chief
Bussard_x Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 1 year and a lot of flying hours further.
Feathered_IV Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Pretty amazing what has been achieved in just one year. Happy birthday to everyone.
SYN_Mike77 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 yeah, that kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it? A year ago we had one, unarmed plane to fly around on a tiny map!
RFG_Hisl Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Congratulations to all devs who realized this game ! The babe is alive- now it has to grow up.
Blooddawn1942 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Impressing how time races by... Allready a year gone since I first fired up the LaGG 3! I remember it too well. I really enjoyed this first ride. Made myself familiar with the Dashboard, fired up the engine. Tested all rudders and ailerons while performing some ground handling tests before linening her up allong the runway and made it to the skyes. After driving her arround for some minutes I got her down in one piece with a big fat smile on my face! Despite all the tensions and hatred these days, I still enjoy BoS 4-5 evenings a week doing my own pen&paper style campaign. This whole unlock stuff isn't my cup of tea too, but I can deal with it. I really love this sim and whish for a bright future!
unreasonable Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Happy birthday - the sim is like a toddler, simultaneously infuriating and endearing. Good luck for the next year! 2
SYN_Mike77 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 LoL Unreasonable! Perfect analogy. Just let me add, someone elses toddler!
MarcoRossolini Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 We had such high hopes then... Happy Birthday none the less.
J2_Trupobaw Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Heh, throttles that worked only half way and shock of how difficult to land and taxi LaGG is... good times.
Freycinet Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Amazing achievement to record such progress in just a year. You've come a long way, baby! I'd be interested to know how many flyables we had one year after RoF was released with four planes. Anybody remembers? BoS is shaping up to be a modern classic. I hope it will be under many christmas trees in a little more than a months' time!
