Hello Everybody,

 

Another productive week has passed. We achieved a good progress in implementing VR devices support via Open VR API - HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. 

..............................

At the same time, He-111 H-16 and Fw 190 A-5 development is almost finished and we'll start their beta testing this weekend (they will be released in 2-3 weeks).

..............................

There is some progress in developing the new Career mode that we announced together with Battle of Kuban.

..............................

Releasing the A5 ahead of schedule... And the A-20 looks promising. Looking forward to that one. 

 

Just a question. But didn't the A-20 have a ventral machine gun?

Oh man, my VR fever is rising again...

[Finkeren]

Wow!!! He 111H16 and Fw 190A5 in one patch due in just a couple weeks?!?? I did nazi that coming! Bravo

 

Good to get an update for the VR folks as well. I don't belong in that crowd, but I can imagine how excited they must be to hear that it's working and just needs some optimization.

 

The A-20 looks gorgeous, I might just get started on really diving into level bombing.

 

I feel I'm repeating myself, but the pace you guys work at and the quality you produce is astounding!

[Irgendjemand]

Awesome! Cant wait to fly using my Rift!
Bomber looking great!

With the way you handle things currently there is NO WAY you will not be successful!
Even thou I dont get to fly that much currently you still can at least be sure of my support!

Pity there is no word about a hot patch to fix the 110-g2 and 190 armour

[Blooddawn1942]

The 111 and the 190 in one update. Outstanding. Looking forward to all the good things coming to us along the road this year.

[HippyDruid]

Sounds pretty good to me.

I'm looking forward to trying out the new planes.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing some more Kuban screenies, with a little dash of Spitfire in there.

[Asgar]

not sure if i'm more excited for the Fw or the new Heinkel both are gonna be very interesting. Looking forward to the new patch.

Talking about the new patch. any chance we might see a fix for the DM of the 110 G-2s guns before the next big patch?

[Dakpilot]

Really looking forward to A-20 and the A-5

 

I flew the A-20 a lot on Mixx Zapolar Murmansk map in old IL-2, this combo worked really well, also the A-5 on Kuban map, fun times ahead!

 

Cheers Dakpilot

[lurch9494]

Nice update on progress thank you!

[dhillr]

Didn't expect dd this early today. Thanks~

[Bullets]

Great news! Just wondering how the spitfire is coming along ? 

[pilotpierre]

Really looking forward to the A-20.

[=38=Tatarenko]

Really looking forward to the A-20, thanks!

[II./JG1_Kadin]

Thank you!!

[JG300_Olrik]

Really looks fine ; this is the kind of aircraft that could switch me to the VVS side !

Very nice work.

[JG4_Sputnik]

A-20 and VR - best update in recent weeks 

 

Thanks, looking good!

 

 

Question:

Is "open VR in march" also "general VR" like Oculus and Vive? Or are those different things? VR in march? What?

[Blutaar]

I like!

[A-E-Hartmann]

Great news .Thank you .

[Rjel]

The A-20 looks great.

[Boomerang]

Wonderful news.

A-20B looks like it will be another beauty for the collection  

[dburne]

Great news about the VR implementation hopefully in March!  I have been keeping an eye out hoping for an update on the status.

I am really looking forward to flying this sim in the Rift!!

[Danziger]

Very nice looking

 

Just imagine how expensive will be the B-17!

[THERION]

Great news!

 

Thank you very much - you guys are really fantastic. I'm grateful knowing there are people out there with the same passion we have.

 

Cheers

Very nice looking

Yes, I had the same thoughts... 

[I./JG1_Baron]

Like it 

[Finkeren]

Great news! Just wondering how the spitfire is coming along ? 

 

Supposedly it's next in line after the 190 and 111, so my guess is, it is already flying in some form within the dev version.

Don't forget the Il-2 that's coming in May first.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

Top notch - thanks guys.

[Pollux]

Good new for H111/190 and VR

[ShamrockOneFive]

First, the A-20B is a thing of beauty. I always had a soft spot for this plane and I sense I'll be spending a lot of time flying it when it becomes available. The wait will be a killer but I'm sure it will be worth it. Look at those lines! Stunning work!

 

Second, I was not expecting the He111H-16 and FW190A-5 to come together and to be coming so soon. Well done team!

[Finkeren]

Whoops, my bad. Had the two dates mixed up.

[DD_Arthur]

Another great Dev. diary

 

Are the team moving ahead of schedule on 'plane release at the moment?
