=gRiJ=Roman- Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Awesome news! The P39 looks fantastic and the metal one is beyond my dreams. The oil tweaks are great. I wonder if in the future they will implement the oil splashing in the wind shield, the equivalent effects of the new rain. The lack of visibility with the oil would be VERY challenging. Thanks Devs for the DD. You made my day! I just love it. Edited January 26, 2018 by -=PHX=-Spartan-
BlitzPig_EL Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Really looking forward to trying the P39 and Yak 7B, even more than the La 5FN and G6. They even have made a historic skin for the P39 with my number on it...
CIA_Yankee_ Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 If you dont give any eta you have problems with something Absolutely not. Quite the contrary, it is the giving of ETAs or release dates that causes problems, particularly with software development. This is why this "early access without an actual hard release date" format is actually a very good thing with the industry: it allows developers to essentially say "it's ready when it's ready" it flex on time instead of quality (and scope, hopefully). Sadly, when it comes to mainstream video game industry (unlike the very narrow niche we inhabit), sales/marketing/distribution plays a major role in the game lifecycle, which results in hard deadlines proliferating. This directly results in a large number of gaming disasters throughout the years. Given this, when a game dev actually waits until the last minute to even unveil their game and give a tentative release date, I tend to be more hopeful. 1
Mac_Messer Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 So...mid February it is, then. I`m kidding. Thanks for the update, it`s my kind of read. Good luck with your work.
StG77_Kondor Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Excellent update! Thank you! Looking forward to trying out the P-39. First thing, even before firing the guns will be to throw it into a flat spin at 3,000m and hold on tight! I wonder how close/different it will be from the first iteration of it in the original IL-2. The 'problem' may well be the fact that some of their customers are rabid lunatics who will set things on fire if 1C/777 misses the ETA by 3 minutes. LOL. You've described all flight-sim customers. On the plus side, rabid lunatics usually spend mucho $$. 2

FuriousMeow Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I wonder how close/different it will be from the first iteration of it in the original IL-2. Very different, the first/release FM of the Oleg Il-2 series required holding back on the joystick to keep the plane just in the air until something like 160km/h was achieved. The FM wasn't any good until the v4.0 FM. Edited January 26, 2018 by FuriousMeow
Uufflakke Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 So...mid February it is, then. Mid February: 28 days : 2 = 14 of February. Hey! Valentine's Day. But seriously, I am really looking forward to the rain effect on the canopy. I think it will look great when flying the Aunt Ju over Kuban through rain showers with strong wind.
SCG_motoadve Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Great update, I like they are improving the systems simulation of the planes towards more realistic, if they do one plane , most likely all of them will receive the same treatment, they wont release a more detailed model of just one plane. 2
hobotango Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Lets go already with this update, Im leaving in 2 months and wont be able to be on a computer for 6 months after that I understand the need for a proper work but damn, I was hoping to be able to play a bit before leaving. Well.... if anything, itl be better 8 months later.
Danziger Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Great update, I like they are improving the systems simulation of the planes towards more realistic, if they do one plane , most likely all of them will receive the same treatment, they wont release a more detailed model of just one plane. This is true. It will just take some time and probably be worked in when possible. I can already see the hate posts ranting about 109s and 190s being discriminated against in some way lol.
Soarfeat Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Marvelous update. Thanks BOS Team for continued fine tuning of this already excellent sim. sf
Pollux Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) ...,our volunteer beta tester team helps us in this task greatly. Can we still join the beta tester ? Edited January 26, 2018 by CCG_Pollux
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) well atleast news.... 5 days to go before release or second delay. If only there were Troll tags to put under user names................. OOh, maybe time to start a new thread under the suggestions tab! Edited January 26, 2018 by II/JG17_HerrMurf 1
hedger72 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Those P-39 skins look flippin' fantastic! I have been waiting for this bird since they announced the IL-2 reboot with the Battle of Stanlingrad - I can't believe that the long awaited day is about to arrive! (tears of joy there )
Ehret Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I have a feeling that developers are fine-tuning P39' FM, just to make sure to avoid repetition of initial P40 situation. That's nice, but the time can be a strong preference... I have an urge to play with something new at this point; a better fidelity could follow later. Still a great update and a new wallpaper for me.
I/JG27_Rollo Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Looks awesome! I'm very much looking forward to trying the new aircraft and especially the new campaign system. Edited January 26, 2018 by I/JG27_Rollo
Nil Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I am so impressed when I see artisans in the real life. Just with their hands (and feet sometimes!), they do amazing crafting, creations. Petrovich is the same for me, a highly talented and skilled digital artisan. I just wish we can clone him!!! Thank you for all theses features... This is why I love your products: there is an outstanding craftsmanship, It is so scarce in this industry... I am just speechless! Edited January 26, 2018 by 1./TG1_Nil
Oubaas Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Thank you, IL-2 Dev Team, for all your brilliant, hard work!
JtD Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 8. New flaps functionality: 8.1 Flaps pneumatic valve can be set to the neutral position instead of retracting position, making the flaps retract by air flow pressure instead of a sharp retracement. 8.2 An incorrect flaps behavior, while pushed back by the air flow pressure, has been addressed. That's great, can't wait to see what that will be like in game then. Looking forward the oil viscosity thing, too. Love seeing you paying attention to these kind of details! 1
Pilot_Rabbit Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Great about high fidelity and potential to implement to all other planes. 'Details matter, it's worth waiting to get it right.'
w00dy Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Great to hear about the FFB tweaks and also looking forward to flying the P39.
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Love hearing about FM & DM news. Waiting patiently for realisation of DD120 task from Mr Petrovich department. For sure they will be high fidelity. Edited January 26, 2018 by 307_Tomcat
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Those paint jobs look fantastic and polished aluminum is crazy The fall season pictures, is that stalingrad new landscape textures? Looks great!
von_Greiff Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 If only there were Troll tags to put under user names................. OOh, maybe time to start a new thread under the suggestions tab! Definetly! yours v. Greiff
katdog5 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 looks great. cant wait. *cant wait to get LIT Up by some 109s in that p39 hahaha
senseispcc Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 All this is great and beautiful news but what should be better and even more beautiful news should be when these updates we shall have, no? For once no thanks to the great development team, yes they do great work, but what is great work if there is no delay attached to it?!
Missionbug Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Great work guys, thank you very much for the update,really appreciated. I do love that natural metal P-39, very impressive. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
BlueJayslivernyc Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Looking good! Can't wait for the release!
Cpt_Cool Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Mid February: 28 days : 2 = 14 of February. Hey! Valentine's Day. But seriously, I am really looking forward to the rain effect on the canopy. I think it will look great when flying the Aunt Ju over Kuban through rain showers with strong wind. Valentines day is my birthday! if the devs want to give me a present hehe.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 P39 looks great + other features will be nice. Shame no RAF skin thou
Jade_Monkey Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I do love that natural metal P-39, very impressive. I agree, I think it looks even better than the initial shots in the Mc202. It's hard to tell in a static image, im sure it really stands out in movement.
Gambit21 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Must be the improved reflection rendering? I'm unclear if it's just a rendering improvement, or rendering along with materials improvement (they are typically intertwined)...in any case things are looking very nice.
