Developer Diary, Part 100 - Discussion

Sorry, have I deviated from the ultra positive mainstream narrative you'd rather hear.  Take a few deep breaths, make yourself a nice cup of peppermint tea and watch the History Channel.  You'll be fine...

Not really, it's just rather old and gets a bit dull. There's a whole section devoted to it yet you still have to lever it in where you can with the "sorry off topic but" line. I have absolutely no trouble with people finding fault with the dd but why trot out the same old fm stuff? If you have info beyond "probably" post it in the right place and back it up. Pretty simple really.

By the way, asking for fm complaints to be taken to the right section isn't pushing for a "ultra positive mainstream narrative", nicely escalated :)

wonderful news , but ... BUT

when we have a decent MP?

 

It is hoped that at least, for the end of this year there is the possibility of having a 64 ( or more ) players on servers

Every comparison test I do, flight dynamics wise, with other sims ( mainly one other one ) are so in favor of IL2 BoS that I simply shelved the competition...

 

That is what I was telling from the beginning. Adjustment of some values (perhaps Wolf is true about the La5) can always be made to improve the sim, but it is only RoF and BoS that give you the real feeling of flight. 

 

And the 64 players limit would be nice with the start of BoM.

Excellent work!

Considering the amount of money I have put in to BoS and BoM, versus the incalculable number of hours I have spent enjoying this project so far, I have already gotten more than my money's worth if this entire project stopped improving right now.

 

I have really enjoyed this sim for many, many hours and I feel that this schedule of imprvoements and additions provided by the developers is all gravy.

I am excited about the future of this sim and I am happy with the schedule provided.

 

I hope this project remains successful so the sim will keep expanding for many years to come.

 

I am a happy customer and I say keep up the superb work.

If the limit stays 48 until BoM is released they might just make it a campaign addon since MP will be totally dead by than.

 

There's no reason in not increasing player capacity aside from not caring. I just flew last Friday evening on the WIngs of Liberty server and out of 12 gzuys on our side 8 were hanging around our irfield chasing one single ghost 109 appearing on radar.

 

I ended up calling my posiiton in chat so I can at least have a decent 2 min fight against 2 guys...how fun. If it keeps going this way I can not imagine how short lived the sucess of BoM will eventually be.

Macchi 202 in august is a nice surprise. Thank you very much.

 

How is going the cockpit? We'll have a cockpit with the same quality of the amazing E7? If yes.....Macchi will be a dream to fly.

sarcasm>What is this nonsense?<sarcasm

Bloody hell, you had me going there for a minute :)

 

But I do agree with the serious part of your post, and while the game isn't that great a SP experience at the moment, it's awesome to see modders starting to get a BoS version of PWCG off the ground :biggrin:

Great "news" about BOM but I can't be the only one that was expecting something not just a timeline.. Bit unimpressed with this "dd100" and "Fall 2015" for the summer map  :blink:  I hate that I cant help but feel let down at how slow its being developed. meh  :ph34r:


 

Comrades, please enough "...Zeus are creating..." :) Whole team are working on the new seasons and technologies for it :)

 

Looks like your teams map will be finished before the "summer map"   :lol:

I sure hope so. It's always been one of my top 5 WWII fighters.

The Mosca cockpit looks fantastic!

 

Apart from that, I cannot believe the number of jaded and negative comments from so-called simmers in here. One should think you all have spectacular highly-charged super-amazing and ultra-efficient lives for Il-2 to appear so lackluster to you. However, my inkling is that the exact opposite is perhaps the case, because seldom do I see such negativity among the family, friends and colleagues I know. That kind of attitude just doesn't work out in real life.

I have read the thread but may have missed a post or two, my humble apologies.

 

So just to clarify for future reference, in order to ask a question here now I must read upward of 3 pages of posts?

 

A simple yes or no would have sufficed pal.

 

And folk wonder why this forum is dying, sheesh.

 

Mick. :(

What a garbage post, all of us here are simmers, we are all interested in the development of this franchise. None of us said the game is lackluster, whats lackluster is this announcement.

 

Edit: I of course was not calling your first sentance garbage, I completely aggree with it hehe the cockpit looks great!!!

To the Devs... take as much time as you need to develop your software as you see fit. I'm just happy to have a means to scratch that itch of mine for "Adult Rated"  PC WWII Aerial Combat (I'm looking at you WT!). So far all my expectations have been met and exceeded. BOS and BOM are truly as real as it can get on a PC. If you want more real I suggest you invest your money on a kickstarter for a time machine to travel back to WWII Era and join an air force.

Because changing graphics settings is very close to the bottom of the list of priorities for a flight sim.

Its no new game for you as BoS owner its more like a extension and a update for BoS as well.

Because:

- Verything that is developed for BoM you will get in BoS ( for example if they make more Grafik option in BoM you will get a free update for BoS once BoM is released which has the same Grafik options for your BoS)

 

-You will have more enamys to fly against because you will see the planes for BoM in your BoS sim you just cant fly them yourself as long as you haven´t bought BoM.

That clears things up guys, thanks.

Devs stated that some sort of graphic options are coming along with release of i16.
