JG4_dingsda Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) This requires much work from us in the GUI and a new parser etc. So it's not easy a small project for the team to do. Although, it can be done by a third party kind of like PWCG. I'm still mulling over ideas. But of course I'll need a programmer. Jason A good starting point for a more seamless experience with third party stuff would be the possibility to pass a mission-filename as a parameter to the executable so you could start directly in the briefing.

Jason_Williams Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Hey guys, I'll be camping the rest of the week, but I'll try to monitor how the update goes. If someone send me a message I may not be able to respond till I get back. Beta went pretty smooth, but there are always unforeseen issues. Just report them as always. As was discovered in Beta, the Rata's best turn speed is at a lower speed than the 109s. Will be interesting to see what tactics the community develops with it. Jason 1

SCG_Space_Ghost Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Hi. About summer version of VL map. We've no official plans to make Velikiye Luki summer map, but I'll try to finish this map in my free time. Summer on any map is going to be great.
Urra Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Hi. About summer version of VL map.

6./ZG26_Emil Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Really bummed to hear, that summer VL map was not an official project. I had been under the impression that all maps would become available for all seasons. But then I took a look at what Zeus (AKA the friggin' man )has been working on in his spare time and I'm picked right up again The winter one started out as an unofficial one as well don't forget
Blooddawn1942 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 The New summer pictures are absolutely marvelous! Teasing us with such beautifull stuff is making the waiting until its release even harder ! And the update is just around the corner??? And I am on vacation....aaargh!

I have a question. They will be on the summer map trees conifers as a winter version? Thank you for your response With Sincerely, Alan Grey
SCG_Neun Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Well...I'm not slowing down for one....and trying to turn that's for sure.....Have a great time in the field.
[CPT]milopugdog Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Definitely looking forward to this one. The I-16 was one of my favorites when I played War Thunder, I just want to know what mods it will get
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Hello Zeus, The map looks amazing. I have a question. They will be on the summer map trees conifers as a winter version? Thank you for your response With Sincerely, Alan Grey I'd be surprised if the trees weren't remove/replace with a summer texture. How many tree textures are there, 8-10 of each type? Remove all deciduous1/replace all deciduous 1a, remove all deciduous 2/replace all deciduous 2a. Same for the conifers - mostly automatic with fine tuning by hand. It'd be a hell of a task otherwise. Zeus? Edited July 7, 2015 by [TBC]HerrMurf
Albino Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Wow those summer shots look far better than expected. Thank you kindly to all those responsible! Regards Albino
JG13_opcode Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Any chance we'll get a button to unlock everything including skins? Quite frankly I find playing against AI supremely boring. I bought this sim for multiplayer and don't want to have to grind missions.

They have to have something to force customers to play the campaign to make the stats for it look like its more popular than the Rise of Flight bCareer.
Adler_ Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm really happy that they listened to us and made the campaign more interesting! Thank you devs and Jason!
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 "As you know, we'll be releasing a major addon to Battle of Stalingrad this fall. It will feature new summer and autumn seasonal maps and a new single player campaign that will tell the history of military operations and battles from late August till mid November, 1942. And before you start asking - yes, the campaign starts at noon on August 23rd when the city had already suffered from Luftwaffe's massive bomb raids. Why are we not starting Chapter I in July 1942? Well, you already know the answer: we don't have enough resources to build a copy if the city with undamaged buildings within the time limits." Am I understanding that there will be Moscow City in the BOM expansion? Just that we won't be receiving two (one damaged, one undamaged) versions of the city?

Moscow has not received the seriously destruction during the German air raids unlike Stalingrad. Also, the main attacks were made in the summer of 1941. BoM will begin in October and you'll see only one version of the city.

1CGS BlackSix Posted July 7, 2015 Author 1CGS Posted July 7, 2015 But we will see the city? That's awesome news. You'll be able to see the city, but you'll not be able to fly over Moscow. We've already shown you the borders of the map: 1

I thought I read somewhere that the city of Moscow would not be on the map. I hope I read that wrong. Edit: Just saw what B6 meant. Thx. Edited July 7, 2015 by Bando
Dutchvdm Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 But we will see the city? That's awesome news. Thanks for clarifying - that went right over my head. On the preorder page there is a map of the game area. As far as i can tell Moscow is not on it. But maybe i misunderstood it.... Grtz M
SharpeXB Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Quite frankly I find playing against AI supremely boring. I bought this sim for multiplayer and don't want to have to grind missions.It's great to hear people bought this game to play online. Now if only I could ever see anyone actually on multiplayer... ;-) Let's see those 64 player servers filled up now.
Gl-l0st Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 You'll be able to see the city, but you'll not be able to fly over Moscow. We've already shown you the borders of the map: map_en.jpg Some of the dates on the map read day, month, year and the rest read month, day, year. This is causing me confusion?
Panezz Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Dear developers I have only one question, you will work to give at bos / bom / b ?? a multiplayer mode that is not just server dogfight? Me (and many of my friends) would like to play online dynamics campaigns for example, I am truly sorry to see you engaged your time and money to create the singleplayer campaigns to play against the stupid AI Edited July 8, 2015 by 22GCT_PlaN

DD_Kev83 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I understand that the devs don't have the time and resources to create a traditionel static campaign. But what about giving us mission builders the possibility to create our own campaigns? yeah defo on this i want to build a campaign thats as close to how it really happened and play that the random mission builder campaign we got at the moment is bs sorry but it is
DD_Kev83 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The announcement to improve the campaign gives certainly many SPs back some hope. However, the way this should be done (2 handmade missions per chapter), is IMHO a patchwork. I appreciate the limited resources of 777 / 1C but why aren’t so outstanding mission experts as Juri_JS and Veteran66 involved in the creation of a historic campaign with scripted missions? Why aren’t the conditions created to take 3rd party add-on makers on board? Thousands of SPs, people like me, are eagerly waiting for it. They are willing to pay good money for such a product, as they did 12 years ago for the original IL-2 add-ons. These enthusiasts have not died in the meantime. They are still there. same as this i dont mind paying for a historic campaign with scripted missions i would rather pay for that then bom because bom will be bs if if has the same sort of bs campaign

Me (and many of my friends) would like to play online dynamics campaigns for example, I am truly sorry to see you engaged your time and money to create the singleplayer campaigns to play against the stupid AI same as this i am sorry to tell you this but BOS and BOM WILL DIE A BIG FAT DEATH WITHOUT THIS we need 100 plus player servers with full mission builder we in ACG did our campaign night last night we had 96 players on our campaign server
=EXPEND=Dendro Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 same as this i am sorry to tell you this but BOS and BOM WILL DIE A BIG FAT DEATH WITHOUT THIS we need 100 plus player servers with full mission builder we in ACG did our campaign night last night we had 96 players on our campaign server I am pretty sure the devs are aware of this and if I am not mistaken there has been a couple of hints made about a soon upcoming patch with MP COOP modes. If not soon I am sure they are going to work it in. PWCG also seems to be in the works where a full mission builder will be made available. Welcome to correct me if I am wrong but I think all these things are being addressed??
beepee Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 with full mission builder There is a Full Mission Builder. Yes the servers are limited to 64 at the moment. There is nothing stopping you and your squad learning the mission builder (there are plenty of guides now), and creating your own co-op type missions.
coconut Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 there has been a couple of hints made about a soon upcoming patch with MP COOP modes AFAIK a dev hinted about something new MP-related, but we don't know if it's got anything to do with coop.
