Game version 1.007 discussion

[VBF-12_Snake9]

Our sound designer has more time then programmers or engineers, so he adds some nice little features from time to time.

Please fix surround sound, when your plane is being hit. There is a ticket in the bug section my me about it.

Good update there. Nice work devs. It should probably be pointed out though that the Germans shot dogs on sight in every town and village they entered. Perhaps the only dogs left in the area were the few operated by field police and einsatzgruppen death squads. Ugh, There's a cheery thought to have while eating my breakfast.

[Jaeger55]

This update change again the texture and startup cfg files, and some options inside the game (like graphics option, or "cinematic on" again). Freetrack users need to change again the "startup" file again and put 1 in trackir option, take in account

What was changed? something key input and add line old track ir or something?

[Jade_Monkey]

 

 

- Time of drawing plane's skin was decreased;

 

 

Thanks!

 

It really bothered me how long it took, especially because it unloads the texture as long as you stop looking at a plane. If you look at a plane, stop looking, and look back again really fast, it has to load again instead of staying there. I assume that now  it will be less obvious    

 

No custom skins and skin viewer yet? 

 

...

 

Are we there yet, dad?

nice update!

loved the inclusion of the dogs barking.

if you were fishing for the "glass half empty" crowd you scored in spades!

[FuriousMeow]

Someone working on the team added something to add to the environment - which is requested a lot, more environment/immersion. They didn't take away from work in other areas. It didn't stop work on other features. It hindered further development and interrupted development 0%. And yet individuals can't resist showing their maturity.

[Redthorn]

The development of BOS is proceeding in a fantastic way, but must confess what I really would like to see, is the grass of the first months of the battle... no way?

[FuriousMeow]

BoS doesn't cover that time frame currently - just the dead of winter. It's in the Developer Diaries the time frame covered.

[Lusekofte]

Well, I remember a night I played DCS on a Mustang vs FW 190 Server... and guess what.. I saw Ground Units driving to targets... no shieeet and it was stable. No lags nothing... Holy cow, so there is a hardcore simulation out there which allows vehicles on the ground and on the air... at the same time..

 

 

To the Patch, well atleast we got dog sounds now... hooraaayy!

Yes you can have moving objects on all simulators. But you cannot have unlimited. What he asked for was battles in historical perspective added . And if you had any idea about mission building you understand this. We got more objects and the rest is up to the mission makers , not the developers. My quote only shows how many levels he was plain wrong, and how much he and obviously you understand

[Brano]

People are complaining about 30min missions in campaign.It is tooooo long,we need 16x time compression back.And in same time they cry out loud that they want dynamic live environment of battle seen in holywood movies.Units everywhere,in every corner of the map,best at least 1000 of ruskies vs 1000 of kraut panzers with 1000 heinkels and at least 500 yaks above them.While it takes 45min to fly from west to east on big Stalingrad map.Conclusion? Sort of women behaviour.They dont know what they want but they want it all now

[Sparrer]

It seems cat owners is jealousy now.....can't we have meows too?

[Leaf]

It seems cat owners is jealousy now.....can't we have meows too? This is turning out to be a cat-astrophe!

 

I have yet to hear a cat meow as loudly as a dog can bark. Maybe Russian cats are more vocal though?

Another step forward.

 

 

I'm really glad the skin load time has been decreased. I used to hate how the planes flickered between green and white skins. I think most people choose to fly with a winter camo skin so wouldn't it make more sense for the default skins to be set as one of the white skins, as the colour change wouldn't of been so noticeable (just a thought, I don't know how hard it would be for the devs to implement this)

I was excited about that too but i haven't seen any palpable improvements after the patch. 

 

Wither way im glad they are looking into those issues and not just leaving them as it is.

 

I am very impressed with the updates in general.

[Sokol1]

I get a special camouflage.

The dogs bark because someone was cutting down that tree.

[Sokol1]

They are frightened by the war: 

 

[avlSteve]

Sounds propagation is not instant already. You can check it - drop a powerful bomb while flying at 500m or more from a ground object like a friendly AA gun, then quickly switch to this object. You should hear the explosion a couple of seconds later than seeing it.

 

Also, if you press F3 and the aircraft is facing you at a distance, when you fire cannons you hear the round go whizzing past the camera location, then afterward, the sound of it firing.  Also very evident watching your aircraft hit the ground while in your chute.

Yeah, it's been that way since day 1.

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

I think the dogs barking was a nice little touch. A howling wolf would be nice too,but that's just me.   Thanks for the update.

[SharpeXB]

I'm experiencing allot of crashes after this update. Is this only for me or anyone else can relate?

 

I was getting a crash every time, in the last version (have not tried this one yet) until I unchecked Full Screen.

[Rjel]

Impressive update. The skins seem to be loading very quickly now, a huge plus in my book. I haven't taken the time to try and hear the dogs barking but I think it's one more step in fleshing out the virtual world much like it was when I first heard the wind rustling the airfield flag very early on during the EA. But thinking about the barking dogs, I remembered the urban legend about there being flocks of birds in European Air War. I spent a lot of hours looking for those damn birds.

Only getting 17.28kbs download, is anyone else having slow speeds?

I went to a three day blues festival once. About four hours into it I realised I didn't like blues music all that much.

Three days of anything, with few exceptions may be a tad overkill- Good " Chester Burnett " reference.

I get it,  it adds to the environment, but it can get old quick. I've seen farm animals in games and all sorts of little stuff like that. First time you see it or hear it you say hey wow but after the elevnteenth (not a number but it sounds like it should be) you just say ahh whatever. In "it"  you can hear the clock chime the time. Nice touch. I see it as little personal touches we didn't have back in the MMO warbirds 2.77 years.  

[Livai]

Whats this on a Expert Server all the time? Not a single enemy plane anywhere but gunfire all the time?

 

[Obelix]

Thanks for this updates, and of course, for the previous ones too. The job is awful, and I want to thank the team. Merci et bravo

[SeriousFox]

Thanks for the great update.

 

To sound guy : Could you look into the Sutuka's cannon sound? I think it needs some polishing...

[216th_Peterla]

Nice update. Thanks.

[150GCT_Veltro]

48 slots works fine, not lag at all yesterday evening on Syndicate.

[I./JG1_Baron]

Yes agree. No lags (but some LaGGs in air   ), no freezes. 

[150GCT_Veltro]

LoL

 

Yes, there was some LaGG problem.

 

Edit.

No lag at all also flying in close formation with He-111.

 

Really good net code guys.

[=38=Tatarenko]

stable for me (not using full screen mode).

[=LD=Hethwill]

Stable as ever in MP. SP became slightly better on the FPS side, no idea what but my guess it is not game related but OS updates related.

 

On the bonus side, thanks for the pak38.

 

Given we already have the dogs sound a dog model for airfield guards companion - infantry doing patrol routines - would be funny as well.

[TaX]

I appreciate the updates, please keep them coming.

BTW , i'm using full screen and the game keeps crashing. "il-2 stopped working". 

[BlackBadger]

The dog bark is actually a cool addition

 

Might i humbly suggest:

 

villages

- rooster/hen sounds

 

towns:

- church bells

-rooster/hen sounds

 

forest:

- wolves hovling

 

airfield:

- ground crew chatting (might be a bit difficult this one)

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

wowowoof woooof

[Sparrer]

No meows???
