Developer Diary, Part 157 - Discussion

[Jade_Monkey]

It would be great with old black and white, shaky movie style like in the real guncam footage. But I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement. Sorry for my ignorance

I use the old Movie Maker to make my movies but unfortunately, I lack that effect!

You can get the Guncam DLC for MovieMaker for just $9.99/month. XD

[LLv24_Zami]

Nice improvements on the way, it seems! Those bomblets will be fun and mirrors looks nicely done

 

Good work, again. When can we expect new patch to be released?

[Jade_Monkey]

I didnt pay much attention the first time (reading on my phone) but you can see Kuban mountains and cliffs in the image backgrounds.

 

That last pic is gorgeous.

[Bando]

A great update ahead.

Thanks for the efforts. Wonderful DD today 

[Gambit21]

Great work Han/team.

Thank you!

[LLv34_Vellu]

Sounds very nice.

 

"One of them is the BB-1 mechanical aiming sight we told you about in the past Dev Blog"

 

If we will have new aiming sight to IL-2 how about the Stuvi to Ju-88.

1943 Ju-88 A4 has been equipped with the STUVI!

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Well done as usual.

[MadisonV44]

Nice improvements, especially the realistic bullets strike improvement. 

Good news for the new particules system less impacting on FPS 

 

[JimTM]

Looks like another great update on the way from this amazing team!

 

Han wrote "The fourth feature is the reserve pilot-gunner light signaling equipment that will function in the game in general combat situations." Can someone give more details on what this feature is. Thanks!

At the moment, the common AFR rendering technique is incompatible with VR because of the additional delay it causes. Graphics drivers disable it in VR mode.

 

OK thx for infos Sneaksie...Otherwise I would have bought me a second card tomorrow;)

I hope the problem can be solved soon ....

Technology is quite different, I'm not sure if that is possible, also I would find it rather awkward to remove/add a morror in flight.

Not talking about the mirrors… Gun cam view

Referring to being able to toggle gun camera view, not mirrors.

[F/JG300_Gruber]

Great job, lotsa good news inside.

 

The new hit effects look very convincing

 

Keep it up !

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

all nice improvements to the sim and a generally nice DD, but i was really hoping for a FM rudder fix update, telling us more in detail what we can expect, and especially when its going to be released...

 

Boy, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth?  **me trying to see the horse's teeth over your shoulder** 

[II/JG11_ATLAN_VR]

THX AGAIN HAIL TO THE DEV TEAM            

[Trinkof]

No miror for the macchi :-(

 

Good news anyway !

 

S !

[gnomechompsky]

Very happy about SLI and now the P40 becomes slightly less useless.  

[Tag777]

Interesting news. That means we will have a mirror in the Spit 

[DD_Arthur]

Thanks for another really interesting Dev Diary Han.  Hope you and the Team have a happy holiday

 

Must say the news of PTAB's is a really nice surprise and this;

 

One other small item not mentioned n this DD is that the particle processing method that we had to remove because of AMD card issues with it has been restored. So particle effects should not be such a big hit on FPS. Helps both nvidia and AMD cards.

 

Jason

 

Is really good news too.  As is this;

 

 

PTABs are very fun to use and are definitely an effective weapon. I nailed a Panzer IV with one on my first attempt in beta testing.

 

Hmmm...Beta testers already have a new version.  Does this mean we can look forward to an update next week if things go smoothly?

[=FEW=Hauggy]

Awesome work there!

This will really be worth the wait!!!

Thank you for getting us used to such a level of dedication to bug fixing and gameplay improvements!

[II/JG17_HerrMurf]

Beta testers get the parallel version 2-3 weeeks before we do. We usually get the release version a week or two after an official announcement.

[LLv24_Zami]

New bullet effects timing and location stuff seems to be working very well, looks very good to me 

[Freycinet]

Lovely background coastline, cliffs and mountains!

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

The New Il-2 will be amazing.  Thx Devs. PTABs FTW!!!

[HippyDruid]

Jolly good show. The new mirror technology sounds frightfully spiffing Sir.

 

I'm running out of positive one-liners. 

[Trooper117]

Good stuff!

[Rjel]

I've little to add to everyone else's comments but to say I'm looking forward to the next update.

[Lusekofte]

Well I have not expected to find myself eager for the new IL 2, But I am. I see that the ambitions for this game is very high. Many thanks

[6./ZG26_Gielow]

Now I will increase my OP-40 return to base levels with those mirrors 

 

Anyway, you always can belly land alive on the indestructible OP-40

[Jizzo]

Fantastic, can't wait for the next patch! 

[pilotpierre]

All good stuff, I really liked using the IL2 bomblets in the original (not knowing what the white arcs on the fuselage were for). Will be even better now knowing how to aim them.

 

Roll on the Kuban map, looking really good.

 

Once again well done devs.

[9./JG27DavidRed]

Boy, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth?  **me trying to see the horse's teeth over your shoulder** 

boy, grow up, maybe you can then see the horse's teeth over my shoulder.

[Sokol1]

God job on hit effects. 

[Jason_Williams]

Got a short time with the new beta. The mirrors work great. I don't see a huge hit on performance yet. You can choose Off-Simple-Medium-Complex. I think you're gonna like them.

 

Jason

[ShamrockOneFive]

This was a great update guys! Well worth the wait. I also have to say that I love that the Kuban map is in the background on all of these.

 

Looks great!

[216th_Peterla]

Nice

No performance hit with mirrors on simple, medium or complex?

 

Wonderful update as usual! Thanks!

[ZachariasX]

Great news!
