If there is going to be another "Battle of" is there a plan on when to announce it? Are currently released "Battle of" products including collector aircraft going to be compatible with "the new project"? Has the previously mentioned "to be announced" collector aircraft been decided on by the devs or still being decided? Is there a status update on the Career mode for Flying Circus? Is there a status update on the 1918 map for Flying Circus Is Flying Circus 3 still planned or has it been shelved? A couple of ideas for DD's I think would settle some concerns for some. Seconded. Seems like straightforward questions. 1
[CPT]Crunch Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Time to bust into Wardogs garage, pretty sure that's where the secret stuff is kept. 2
343KKT_Kintaro Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 The last question had already been responded by Loft one or two months ago in a video in Russian in YouTube. The answer is yes, Flying Circus 3 should see the light of day because the devs won't drop the Flying Circus planning. I tried but didn't find back that video, sorry.

That's the first I've heard of it. IMHO, that's probably something they should seek to address sooner than later. 1 4
Rjel Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Going back almost eight years, this thread has been pretty consistent as a place for anticipation, humor and whimsy. The last few weeks it's become rather dark and humorless. Lots of internet experts voicing opinions that they mask as knowledge or insight of what's to come, even though the last several months have been a cluster of doubt and foreboding here 'bouts. The joy that this thread and even the forum in general once held for me, has been lost. 3

duko Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) If there will be a new project unrelated with BOX maybe devs will consider allowing mods from community like in IL2-1946 (planes, maps, etc.) ? Edited January 26, 2023 by duko 1

It came in 2007, and I was there at the time. I loved it and adhered to the mods thing. Within a few months the community was divided and the servers never again went back to the time when they were full. 1 2

I was there and saw the Il-2 community fraction into nothing once everyone and his little brother started cooking their own versions of planes.. Maybe five percent of mods were useful and clean, everything else was just garbage that destroyed the game. 17 minutes ago, CountZero said: oh no few 100 MP players cant fuiger out what mod they need so 10000s of SP ppl ned to suffer LOL There were over five hundred players in Hyperlobby almost every evening, then it all went to crap.

[CPT]Crunch Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 80 players in one game once a year, WOW, try 600 spread over a dozen servers simultaneous, and that used to be the average weekday night. Weekends were impossible to get your entire squad into the same server, so we flew weeknights. Those were the days we had 25 squad members from three different continents not connected by land. Laughable whats called success these days. 1 1 4
Jaws2002 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I didn't go online in over three years, so a new mods jungle wouldn't affect me, but I know many people like to play online with friends, knowing everyone is playing by the same rules. The Il-2 community never recovered after the mods invaded the original Il-2. I used to fly online with many of you here and we had a blast, because we all played the same version. Then everyone started cooking their own version. Allies and axis fanboys made their own version to match their version of reality and enforced them in their servers. Then all the script kiddies joined in to give their little planes a few extra hundred horse power, so they can "pwn" online. It all went to crap. There were good mods, but they were lost in a sea of garbage, and the damage was done. No flight sim since got back that amazing online experience and I doubt it ever will.

YoYo Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Lovely Friday tomorrow, they havent different way, only DD for sure!
BlitzPig_EL Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Sad but true Jaws. We had so much fun back then. A dozen+ BlitzPigs on at the same time, a variety of fully populated good servers to choose from, always someone you knew to fight with or against. Good times. 1

I’ve given up hope that we’ll ever get back to anything like that. 1 1
LuftManu Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 I think making an external MP server finder or just a copy of the Hyperlobby like in the old times would be great in the future for Great Battles or whatever is the new project called! That would be a great nod and also, it already worked great. ?
