Yep. I read it. Well, let's be patient. What is the point in rushing and making avoidable mistakes?

Hi guys:

Re the BOK delay; Enjoy your holiday break. You're making an awesome game. No sense burning yourself out. Take a rest, enjoy yourselves and see you back in the new year. I look forward to BOK when it's properly ready.

Take care guys.

It hasn't even been released yet and you want a half price sale?

Posted

Yes I want that.... by saying better, we want that for the new year

Good luck. Maybe just step up and purchase it like everyone else did if you want to fly it sooner than later. Or wait a few more months for that sale. Shouldn't be longer than 8-12 months for a half price sale.

At least 12 months, they are not going on sellout shortly after its release.

Hi. Does anyone actually know when this is going to come out? Early access? Anything? I purchased well over a year ago. Thx.

 

 

Edit. Just saw someone has posted late January release?

Er....you do know we've been flying on the map with most of the planes for some months now?

Believe the official release is end of this month. But yes you have been able to fly with most of the planes on the Kuban map now since Summer I believe.

Finally "pre-ordered" the damn thing :)

 

First impressions are overall positive. The map by itself its worth it. By far the most beautiful map I've seen in a sim so far. The spitfire will also be a fun toy. The only downside is the loss of FPS when compared to Moscow/Stalingrad.

 

Props to Finkerin And HerrMuff for gifting me the G6. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Late January was a recent estimate but since then the dev team has suggested sometime during the winter which says to me maybe a mid February or even early March release. I could be wrong but I suspect it needs several more weeks for them to wrap things up. On the other side of the coin this will be a big upgrade with 5 new planes (3 BoK and 2 Collector), new rain windscreen effects, 4X increase in terrain draw distance, new co-op, and new career mode just to rattle of some of the changes.

The BoK map is a bit heavier but man is it gorgeous! I was blown away in August when it was first released and I still find it jaw dropping now.

It's such a gorgeous map and one can see that they are continuing to step up their game. For me, I'm looking forward to the dynamic campaign most. I've been waiting for it since practically the beginning!

Posted

I recently started a PWCG Campaign in the Spitfire over Kuban, am 28 missions into it, man this map is gorgeous - absolutely love it!

Duck PC ? Couscous Il-2 Sturmovik? 

 

it's all French to me  :ph34r:   :cool:

 

Good publicity anyway

 

Cheers, Dakpilot

Posted

I'm not sure what that Pan-Pan Coucous is but i want some of that. Maybe with the next patch?

 

:)

Posted

it sounds tasty!

 

It is a word play and it is slightly naughty... Pan-pan = bang bang, coucous = cuckoo = vintage plane, pan pan cul cul = weird/funny way to say "a spanking".

 

Canard PC is not a mainstream video game magazine. It is somehow humorous / mature / absurd. Written by old timers.

 

Unfortunately you have to pay to read it. You can access the very beginning of the paper, which basically says that simmers are back.

Posted

Duck PC ?

 

In french "Canard" is a duck but it is also a familair term to refer a low value newspaper.

As haltux said it is quite self-mocking from old gamers.

Random question but I wonder if we will we ever see oil dynamically splatter and streak on the canopy glass in a similar fashion to the new rain effects we're getting?

It's a good question. It has come up a few times before and I'm guessing they will probably do it when they have time.

 

Rain, snow, and oil effects all on my list of things that take this a step beyond. They did an incredible job with the rain. I'm sure if/when they do the oil (and snow!) effect it will be very convincing too.

I am in ROF now and there is sth in the pilots' googles, blood or oil.  :)

Agreed! Obviously with oil it wouldn't be exactly the same but the idea is certainly there.

That's cool!

Yeah good point. Rise of Flight already does an oil effect. Knowing the team though they will want to do it better than before if they can. Given that they are also working on Flying Circus, I can see that feature returning eventually anyways. I would think it's a when rather than if kind of question... Just that the when may be later on down the road.

Posted

Would also be neat to get the same effect on your canopy when you fly into the oil or fuel stream of an enemy's leaking plane but now I really am getting off topic...lol

The new career mode will apply only to BoK or also to previous BoS and BoM?
 
I thought that it will be for all (BoS, BoM, BoK), but the last newsletter is somewhat confusing about this.
 

In addition to new Career and Cooperative game modes, Battle of Kuban customers will also get the historical 'Sea Dragons' Scripted Campaign for free.

 
It's clear that the "Sea Dragons" scripted campaign will be for free only for BoK pre-orders. But they talk about the new career mode in the same phrase.
 
 
 
Also this:
 

Pre-ordering Battle of Kuban before the release also gives you a one-time opportunity to obtain a unique 'Dragon' skin for the IL-2 mod. 1943, that will be impossible to obtain later. This skin will be added to your account automatically. This unique skin is a way for us to say 'Thank you!' to our supporters.

 

We'll get that skin for free or we'll get the opportunity to buy it?

Posted

If you buy now you get the skin. Career applies to all theaters. :)

Scripted campaign and career are different game modes.

Posted

From what I read, it's not just free for pre-orders. It's free for BOK purchases even after launch. The skin will be exclusive for preorders though.

Yes, the new career mode will apply to all of the titles (BOS, BOM, BOK).

 

Scripted campaigns are different - a sequence of scripted, hand-written missions - and Sea Dragons will be free to all purchasers of BOK.

Posted

Yeah, I know that scripted campaigns are different than the main campaigns from BoX. But that quote about the new career mode was talking only about BoK.

 

Thanks for all the answers.

Will the Yak-1b be available in the new campaign/career mode?
