Developer Diary, Part 126 - Discussion

[PA-Sniv]

Although low quality video, Moscow map looks really good!

[6./ZG26_Emil]

Anyone notice the new bombsight feature at about 1:19:50?

 

The ability to slew left/right or something else?....artificial horizon?

[Saurer]

The ability to slew left/right or something else?....artificial horizon?

 

He also did not change into the gunsight not from the pilots position

[Asgar]

i hope we can have a pilot and a player bombardier. that would be amazing!

[LukeFF]

The ability to slew left/right or something else?

 

Yep, that's what's new. The video overlay prevented the new control option from showing but, yes, no more need to turn the whole plane in order to see what's to the left and to the right. 

[Asgar]

awesome. should make finding targets a lot easier. 

[3kilos]

I just hope that they didn't forgot about performance optimizations, the game already has big issues with the optimization and I hope that the new stuff doesn't break the game. 

[Asgar]

did you even read the dev diary before you posted 

[=362nd_FS=Hiromachi]

Still, most of that video was sort of a Q&A session. I'd like to see translation of the questions and answers that were given. 

And it would be nice if we could count on something like this for western player-base. I know guys like Zak are quite good with English. 

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Have we even heard from Zak recently? Don't recall any posts for unite a while and Black Six only sporadically. Mostly Han and Jason nowadays.

[Boomerang]

Thank you Zues very much for sharing this, Good to see Han and =FB=VikS giving us a sneak peek of the current development. The Ju 88 A-4 and Moscow map looks fantastic.

Zak has taken up another job with 1C.

 

In the mean time check out this little gem;

this is pure cruelty! that's what it is*






_{*this is a joke, but also a little truth}

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Nice video Zlodey, thanks for pointing it out Arthur!

 

Here's a nice little drawing for those preparing a reception party for the Ju-88

 

[Asgar]

they wont stand a chance

Thanks that's a pretty cool feature.

 

Actually if we look back over last year we got a lot of really cool stuff which seems to get forgotten. I still love the way the pilot head moves with TIR and the ground handling is really well done.

Nice video Zlodey, thanks for pointing it out Arthur!

The moskow map looks amazing, I have a feeling it will be a lot of fun!

The Ju88 also looks like it's gonna be one of my favorites.

 

Is it me or they improved the water reflections a lot? They look really good in this video, with the cloud reflections etc.

https://gaming.youtube.com/c/opergamergoblin/live - live translation Il-2 BoM (betta)

 

where can i get the translation??

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Lost in translation - he probably meant transmission

[DD_Arthur]

Watching it now and they're flying low over the centre of Moscow? 

[Jade_Monkey]

Lost in translation - he probably meant transmission

 

I figured after, it's all russian, even the comments.

 

Moskow looks cool, maybe we can fly over it in the future??

[Juri_JS]

Zeus, now that the Moscow map is finished, do you have any plans to create a summer 1941 version of your Velikie Luki map, that could be used with the BoM planes?

Edit by Han:

 

Guys, sorry, but on this live stream map game zone limit was not tuned, and pilot have entered to Moscow - this shold not be happen.

Moscow is designed to be seen from 10-15km, not from "face-to-face" distance.

 

From 10-15km (as you will see it soon) - it will be the best WW2 Moscow city reconstruction ever.

[Asgar]

maybe we will be able to after 64bit is in better performance and all...or they just don't want us to bomb the Kremlin :D

Yup ! Though it would be more tricky with Mc 202

This is what the beta testers have?  So we will have Moscow?  Thank you Zeus and team

I'm pretty sure Dr. Zeebra will be able to pull it off in the IL-2

[Beazil]

Lol "noclip" ftw! :D

IL-2 Sturmovik fun!!

Zeebra will drain all the fuel off his P-40 remove the guns, ammo and armor (somehow) and will helicopter the P-40 there

Very funny livestream. I like the sense of humor those guys have. And that hanging hand :D

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

That big lake on the Moscow map could be a great testing place for torpedoes

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Would be nice to have this beauty as an easterpresent:)

[Blitzen]

Great stuff!!

 

I loved the end of the video, with the IL2 and the ships! 

This vid reminds me a lot of a sequence in one of my favorite movies In Which We Serve:

I was surprised indeed to see the team flying at tree top level over the centre of Moscow including the Red Square +Kremlin. Because that should be not possible as has been stated a few times.

It also explains why the centre city objects like house blocks looked more bland and simplified seen from such a short distance.

I'm only catching up with these news now, but if VR support gets implemented (Vive user here) I'll finally get back to IL2. Even better would be an update to ROF. It could be called ROF 2 (just like Black Shark got updated to version 2) and I would shell out full price again for a ROF with Vive support.
