J2_Trupobaw Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Hurricane is THE WW1 plane for me for some reason (soft spot for workhorse types, I guess). So yes, yes, yes.(As of scenery, I'll say it again and again, 1CGS has the RoF Channel Map just waiting to be ported and fed to the mission builders). 3
Brano Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Id like to have it in game,ofcourse.And not only hurri,but also other dozens of aircrafts. But being realistic and thinking of assets available now/or in near future (Odessa map),more suitable bundle for me would be IAR-80/81+I-153. And to somehow put a nice end to 1943-44 eastern front before getting our feet wet in Pacific, Bf-109G-6 + La-5FN. 3
76IAP-Black Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) No plane is useless when it can generate income for the devs, and makes fun to fly. So the series can life on a bit easier and maybe the income can provide us an even nicer pacific theater later. I would even go so far to ask for a Me-410, a plane that was never realy adressed in flightsims and could be very interesting to have it ingame. Priced similar to the Ju-52 Edited June 8, 2017 by 76IAP-Black
Bullets Posted June 8, 2017 Author Posted June 8, 2017 Vote vote vote Okay looking at this statistically as of writing this there are 85 votes for yes, lets assume the hurri entered development thats pretty much 85 confirmed sales already , 85 x 19.99 = 1699.15 dollars. Thats as a minimum for only 85 sales, obviously there would be LOADS more easy money here devs
Jade_Monkey Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 The question is not whether I'd like to see it, I'd love to see ALL planes. The question is at what cost? Delayed pacific? What else would we be missing out on if they made this and other collector planes?
CanadaOne Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 The question is not whether I'd like to see it, I'd love to see ALL planes. The question is at what cost? Delayed pacific? What else would we be missing out on if they made this and other collector planes? It could be argued that getting collector planes does not equal missing out on anything - it simply means more planes for us and more money for the developers, which they can use to make and sell more planes. From a mercenary/business point of view, one wonders how much cash would flow if the developers offered a few highly desirable collectors planes over the next few months. Maybe the cash input would more than pay for the effort required, and there could be a profit. Now, I don't know what it costs or how long it takes to make a sim plane, but it must be profitable on some level or none of this would be happening. I don't see more collector planes as being anything other than unavoidable.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 It's a small team. The short term cost is time. Time, however, becomes a major cost in bringing full expansions (BOK, BOMI) to market. That loss of revenue and confidence from both the community and investors becomes exponential in the long run. ....I still voted yes. 1
Trooper117 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 The question is not whether I'd like to see it, I'd love to see ALL planes. The question is at what cost? Delayed pacific? What else would we be missing out on if they made this and other collector planes? From Jason's plea for help and assistance regarding the Pacific side of things, it may well be delayed anyway... if that happens, the last thing the dev's would want is any kind of halt on funding. Collector planes and extra maps could be a way of maintaining cash flow until the pacific side of things is ready to progress. As long as they keep producing material, I don't care how or in what direction they go to be honest. 2
CanadaOne Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 As long as they keep producing material, I don't care how or in what direction they go to be honest. Indeed. More planes and more maps. And for the love of god, a mission editor that doesn't make you feel like you're doing algebra on a Saturday night while everyone else is out partying.
Gambit21 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 And for the love of god, a mission editor that doesn't make you feel like you're doing algebra on a Saturday night while everyone else is out partying. It's not going to change. While the editor is certainly not going to mesh with everyone's brain, (just like Algebra might not, even if you're quite intelligent) for many it just takes some time commitment to get 'over the hump' and then it starts getting fun and you can be productive with it. 1

Being stubborn beyond my years, I just don't think I will mesh with it. It might be the world's best developer's tool, but it is a terrible mission editor for the general player. It's outside the game and anachronistically complicated (it might as well be in DOS). I've made countless hundreds of missions in a bunch of different flightsims over the past 20 years, and it's very possible I will never make even one in this sim, just as I never made a single mission in RoF. I do not believe I am in the wrong here, I think the mission editor in both sims is very poorly done as far as the player/user experience goes. I could live with this if the QMB was not a meatless and anemic canvas, but it is. And for the life of me I cannot understand why the top shelf WWII flightsim has such a manifestly poor interface for the user to have to suffer to build a mission or enjoy a quick flight and fight. That said, outside of those two things I think this is a fantastic flightsim. I just dropped $96 CDN the other day to buy BOK, so I'd like to think my (continuing) rant was somewhat paid for. Oh, and I want a Hurricane and I'll be happy to pay for it.
Gambit21 Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Thing with the editor is, once you build a group to say make a flight take off, fly a few waypoints and land, you never have to build that group again. You simply save the group, and paste into another mission and adjust the waypoints, etc. Same with vehicle groups, etc. Escort flights, scenery flights, base AA...pasted from groups you already built and adjusted as necessary. A front line battle can be pasted in from your groups library, and like the above, just adjusted as needed. You couldn't paste at all in the old editor, which was a royal pain in the arse. Yeah it's bogus in some ways. No undo function, no layer functionality, it get's unstable after updates sometimes, it needs lots if "quality of life" improvements...but it's POWERFUL. and that's the thing here. Those other editors you speak of couldn't do what this one can. At the expense of fewer users being able to figure it out, those that take the time can create better content. I personally used the Falcon 4.0 editor and the old IL2 editor extensively. The salient point here however is that you build up a Groups library, and it's basically building blocks from there. Don't get me wrong, it still takes a F$&@ load of time to build, choreograph and add scenery to make a top drawer immersive mission, but it did in the old editor too. It took me maybe 3 to 8 hours to build a good mission in the old IL2, it takes me maybe 12-15 in this editor...but I can get it to do a whole lot more than the old editor. There's just no comparison. I could get you up and running, even explain the basic logic over the phone with the editor open, looking at a few reference groups etc if you're ever interested. Really, once you get a grip on the basic logic...the way the editor 'thinks'....it's easy peasy. Edited June 10, 2017 by Gambit21 2
CanadaOne Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I certainly do appreciate your good attitude and friendliness in the face of my ranting.
ACG_Invictus Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I voted yes. More planes = Good. Would I fly it? Guess it would depend on my mood but probably. Not a first choice for when I fly VVS, but I'd fly it. There is a much better chance of my flying a Hurri then there is my flying the P40.
Legioneod Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I'd buy it. The more aircraft the better. Besides, I really don't like Russian ww2 aircraft, western aircraft are where my interest are. Edited June 13, 2017 by Legioneod
Bullets Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 All I can think is that since there has been no "no" from Jason or other Devs that developing the Hurri could be a possibility?
Hoots Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 All I can think is that since there has been no "no" from Jason or other Devs that developing the Hurri could be a possibility? I'm not sure that's quite the way this works...
Bullets Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 I'm not sure that's quite the way this works... Why not? This is has been a pretty popular thread and they have most likely seen it? If it wasn't in their plans they would probably say
Gambit21 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Why not? This is has been a pretty popular thread and they have most likely seen it? If it wasn't in their plans they would probably say Because it's not Jason's habit to get on here and refute/confirm every notion or suggestion that comes up that's why - he'd get nothing else done. As Hoots said that's just not how it works. 1
OrLoK Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Devs, in general are wary of giving *any* information as "we" can get very grumpy if something doesnt go to plan/is delayed/is a tiny amount different than expected. Not hearing anything doesnt "prove" anything one way or the other Im afraid For me, the hurry is a pipe dream, a wish. We've let the devs know its a popular crate but its up to them as to what to do next if time/budget/circumstance allow. Lets keep our fingers crossed though! 1
Pilot_Rabbit Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 If there is a spitfire, there should BE A HURRICANE!!!
CanadaOne Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 If there is a Hurricane, there should BE A MOSQUITO!!!
Hoots Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 If there is a mosquito, there should BE A LANCASTER 1
sniperton Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Seen historically and based on sheer numbers, there should be a Hurri flying for the VVS, but as to gameplay, I seriously doubt it could add anything to what we already have. I simply don't see the role where the Hurri would be a better choice than another VVS aircraft. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I voted with 'no' anyway. As someone remarked earlier, if I want to fly a Hurri, I fire up CLOD, but I don't feel any urgent need to have it also in the BoX universe.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 If there is a mosquito, there should BE A LANCASTER If there is a Lancaster then we need a Ju88 C-6 and an He219. So, I support your plan!
Trooper117 Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 if I want to fly a Hurri, I fire up CLOD, but I don't feel any urgent need to have it also in the BoX universe. I have CloD and the BoS series, both good games. However, for me, the feeling of flight in BoS is far better... So, a Hurricane in BoS is a must have, not just 'fire up CloD' to get that Hurri experience.
Bullets Posted June 17, 2017 Author Posted June 17, 2017 Hurri was displaying at Weston Supermare Airshow today! She was a beauty, got some pics and footage will upload soon There was also a P51 which I had never seen fly before and OH MY the sound that thing made my prostate tingle Again I got footage and will upload it soon
CanadaOne Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 If there is a mosquito, there should BE A LANCASTER Amen.
F/JG300_Gruber Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Would buy, like any products they may come up with to support the financial war effort. Moreover I think it might be a good addition to the serie, with a good potential in scenario construction. Would I fly it ? No, like all fighters they will take rust and dust in the back of my hangar.
Winglesschip209 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I dnt know why this plane is not available also the p-51
71st_AH_Hooves Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I honestly wish they would port the channel map from RoF to box. Plop in a few fields and you have a map well enough for a decent BoB solution. But politics being what they are. CLod still has a seat at the table. And its a fun sim.
