Albino Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 www.combatairpatrol2.com Has the Il-2 community noticed this? It's coming to Steam on June 6 in Early Access. The focus is on a single player dynamic campaign Hopefully it contains some cool single player ideas that could be applied to BOS/BOM! Regards Albino
Feathered_IV Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Keeping an eye on that. Any developer who understands how important a good campaign system is deserves to be supported.
wtornado Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 It will be released at 30$ USD and will expand into multiplayer/co-op missions later on. My 30$ is in the STEAM wallet and itching to go.
Albino Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Thought you'd be interested Feathered 2 more days! $30 USD seems a bargain.
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) I bougfht it "CAP2" and I you-tube the first day; looks very good for alpha state. Looking forward to getting all for this price. I remember when Kerbal Space was free and I jumped on that one. Edited June 7, 2016 by 71st_Mastiff
Lusekofte Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 When I get my new controls I am going to buy this http://store.steampowered.com/app/347170
Albino Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Bought it. Reviews on Steam are good so far. Worth noting: - Performs exceptionally well. Is a 32bit DX11 title (64bit client imminent). I average 300fps on Ultra maxing out at 600fps on a core i5 and GTX970 - Graphics are satisfying but simplistic. Room for improved textures and higher fidelity models, which currently are not BOS/BOM standard. - Visibility to the horizon is exceptional - Ocean effects are the best I've seen. - OpenTrack does not yet work well. - Rubbish collission detection. The plane bumps off the objects and the ocean. - I have tried the campaign but it needs some guidance on how to play it. - I'm not well experienced in jet sims. The flight model feels ok but not as high fidelity as BOS/BOM. Since the type of engagements are different to WW2 (less AI air units), I'm unsure if the technology is comparable to BOS/BOM. At any rate its a good demonstration of what can be achieved.
Feathered_IV Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Is there convincing coms chatter simulated? This is always the killer for me.
Albino Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Not that I've noticed so far. I've only had time to do training It isn't in Russian though!
LLv24_Zami Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 The focus is on a single player dynamic campaign That sounds interesting.
wtornado Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 So what do you think I will end up buying first? CAP2 at 32.99$ CDN or BOM on STEAM at 50% off soon?
Dauntless Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 So what do you think I will end up buying first? CAP2 at 32.99$ CDN or BOM on STEAM at 50% off soon? "STEAM at 50%" When???
wtornado Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 "STEAM at 50%" When??? It is a dream. I can't fight off my steam redeem wallet purchase for much longer. Maybe until saturday afternoon at the latest then I am a gone goose and CAP2 is installed.
wtornado Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) I have 7 hours 32 mins to go get my EB Games STEAM card to buy CAP2 this saturday. I said I would get it today. I guess BOM 50% off is a dream. 32.99$ CDN is a reasonable price for a beta early access price for a flight sim. Edited June 11, 2016 by WTornado
HippyDruid Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Can you fly as a UK Harrier pilot? Good question, but looking at their site I doubt it. STORYExtremist Revolutionary Forces have declared the Straits of Hormuz will be closed You are a pilot aboard the US Marines 'Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group Edited June 12, 2016 by HippyDruid
Albino Posted June 14, 2016 Author Posted June 14, 2016 I'm holding off playing more CAP2 until there's some new features and fixes. Its current state is rough. Best to buy only if you want to support development of a new sim as I. As to playing another nationality, I doubt there will be that option. However the devs have hinted that their objective is to get a successful engine and product developed through CAP2, and then iterate with new theatres and aircraft (the Tornado for example), in the same way that IC/777 are. They are also using a custom built engine. Excitingly they have imminent plans for VR! Regards Albino
unreasonable Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Can you fly as a UK Harrier pilot? Why would you want to portray the only time Harriers have downed an enemy aircraft in a shooting war?>
Brano Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 "Extremist revolutionary forces" ....mhmm...which country to the east of Hormuz it could be Why would you want to portray the only time Harriers have downed an enemy aircraft in a shooting war?> Because Argentina of 1982 is not "Extremist revolutionary force"
Feathered_IV Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 With the small print on my mobile phone, I first misread that as Feminist Revolutionary Forces
Trooper117 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Why would you want to portray the only time Harriers have downed an enemy aircraft in a shooting war?> I can't even believe you asked that question...
