Dang it, just checked hours. It turns out I'll be at work. Oh well, nobody works seriously on Fridays so I will have to pretend that I'm working.

I'm at work as well. But I suspect that I find some time to check out the announcement :D

[Feathered_IV]

exactly what time does that work out for AEDT? (Australia)

 

That's 11pm on Friday night when daylight saving is taken into account.   

[Blooddawn1942]

Whow! Now I'm really excited! I didn't expected any significant news until this announcement, since the near future plans were no secret.

Has to be something special. Maybe a cooperation with another developer, as some of you guys speculated in this thread?

I guess I will have my mobile phone locked and loaded tomorrow while at work then!

[Guest deleted@50488]

Really looking fwd into it, and although I am sure it is nothing of that kind, I would really love to see them announcing a civil sim platform one day, even if "just" aerobatic aircraft, air races, ,,,

[szelljr]

I think the news  is the new relases of  

IL2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover...not ROF ,not BOS,.... .

[1PL-Husar-1Esk]

Announcement was also made on ROF forum ,why it would be there if there is nothing to say to ROF community?

BTW it could be just "we gonna shut down master server"- joke

That has already been announced elsewhere. Why make a big deal out of announcing news about a different (albeit related) sim and even do so a week late?

[Voidhunger]

Because on Rof forum are potential customers. Not all rof fans bought box.

Yes but for them to switch now after those years you have to offer something in WW1 genre. BTW those who wanted to buy BOX did that already ,ppl from ROF know about BOS before this forum existed. Just recently new owners of ROF that never hear about BOx, if any ...

[novicebutdeadly]

Finish my old job on Friday plus big announcement in regards to the il2 series   

SCORE!!!!!!!

pacific please~~

[Nibbio]

I'm guessing/hoping future plans include a new edition of ROF with DX11 and VR

[IckyATLAS]

Pacific theater (Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Wake, Okinawa, Tarawa etc......), zeros, vals, betties, catalinas, hellcats, wildcats, B25, dountlesses, carriers, destroyers, cruisers, barges, landing crafts full of troops, islands, lagoons, tropical plants and forests, sunset and sunrise on the pacific,  ........... yessssssssss!!!!

 

I am just in the midst of my dreams. Hope the announcement tomorrow will be a sweet wake up and not a brutal one.

 

Cross fingers X and hope for the best.........

[A-E-Hartmann]

More than a day and it's happiness.  

[=gRiJ=Roman-]

Maybe, it could be that the ROF and the BOX will be blended into the same interface so you can select which era you would like to fly and maybe fly together just for fun like in aerial shows.

Midway + roadmap (including ROF?) + third parties content (Po-2, maps, tanks)...

 

Sweet!

[1/JSpan_Wind75]

I WISH IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THIS

 

We have won the lottery and we will have modern offices and a hundred employees and everything you ask will be done.

 

And now if we have to hire three artificial intelligence engineers

[BlitzPig_EL]

Good timing as I have Friday off...

[Trooper117]

Attention Pilots! 

 

On November 17th, 2017 at 12:00 GMT the Sturmovik Team will reveal it's plans for the future right here in this forum. Please join us.

Well let's face it, you don't make a statement like that for something trivial... it's going to be something pretty humungus.

[Picchio]

Standing by!

[Lensman]

Flying saucers being added to the mix?

Foo-fighters surely?

[Pharoah]

That's 11pm on Friday night when daylight saving is taken into account.   

 

ok thanks mate

[Brano]

Great timing! We have a public holiday in Slovakia (and Czech republic) tomorrow.    in the evening and enough time to get sober till anouncement hit the boards 

[Hoss]

Third time's the charm. 

 

Jason

LMAO Jason............... if I were to believe that I'd can this one and get a new one......  

 

Cheers

:biggrin:

...or planes from CloD ported to Il-2 ?

Seriously, announcement for (any) next chapter (+roadmap ?) is already very cool, and why not a few words about mods/3rd parties content too.

 

[ShamrockOneFive]

I'm optimistic, upbeat, and excited to hear what's coming next. I'm sure whatever the plan is that the details have been thought through and the team is going in the direction that makes the most sense.

 

Less than 24 hours now!

[CanadaOne]

Credit card is on standby, juuust in case there is something to new to order included in the announcement.

Ditto!

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

I'm betting on a roadmap. Last year around this time their next two expansions see announced (Kuban, Pacific). With Kuban approaching release it'd make sense to announce the next steps

Same. I trust the team's decisions are the right ones, they have shown excellent judgement in the past.

[76IAP-Black]

It is like in the good old days, waiting for each friday to fire up the internet for the newest il2 development updates.

[216th_Jordan]

Feature hopelist:

 

- improved Dserver

- improved AI

- increased draw distance for objects

- gas pressure damage model planned

- flat tires 

- stuff from DD120: seperate fuel tanks and selectors, spine etc

- reworked chat

- customizable icons

 

Just a personal wishlist though 

[216th_Peterla]

Nice one Jordan.

[Brano]

It’s got to be news about RoF. I mean, why else would they announce it here instead of the RoF forum?

[Brano]

Posted on russian forum by user Lofte....waiting for Fridays anouncement...

I expect good things. Very excited. I should be eating breakfast before school when this drops so I'll hopefully be able to catch it before I leave. 

[Jade_Monkey]

Odessa has been in the works for a while. Idk how far along it has come but it could be nearing completion?

[19RAF_MJDixon]

Space-Spitfires ... I know that kind! Dixon, is it you? Stealth space Spitty, hm?

 

Attacking the enemy UFO from a lower altitude? surely not.
