rlk281 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Friday's haven't meant this much to me since I started dating my wife...
II./JG27_Rich Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Well I love the Stalingrad map. I saw a short interview with Albert aka Loft that has convinced me that these guys are into this 110% The next big thing I want to see is multiplayer because that's what I do normaly. I wonder if we ever shot each other down lol Edited January 22, 2014 by II./JG27_Rich 2
rlk281 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Very nice video showing genuine love for the series; thanks for the link! I am, at this point, very easily satisfied, and would love to see deeper engine modeling for the 109, and elevator trim for the LaGG-3 next... Well I love the Stalingrad map.

andyw248 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Friday's haven't meant this much to me since I started dating my wife... My wife isn't into flying or flight sims... yet she couldn't suppress a hearty laugh when I quoted your post 1
TheBlackPenguin Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Well we'll get to play with the Il2 (ile2) this week, other than that maybe MP if they quash enough of the pesky bugs. Cannot think of anything else . 1
andyw248 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 From the video it seems quick missions will come first while they still have to iron out bugs in MP...
Fifi Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Are we BOS off at this moment? I can't connect anymore...and don't remember the dates
ST_ami7b5 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 As usual Fifi, Fri 20:00 GMT - Mon 20:00 GMT
Fifi Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yo, thanks Ami! Stupid me. Can't wait for the Stuka!
OBT-Psycho Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 wild guess : QME and Il-2, on of them or both... Mp seems to come soon, but not that soon. I expect it next week, but this weekend is all about mud moving (I hope). stuka seems a bit further down the path, as they said cockpit were not ready yet. so... QME and Il-2 this week, MP and Stuka next week? sounds about just right.
SR-F_Winger Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 +1 on OBTs guess. But hope dies last on Multiplayer. I really am waiting for that. Once its here i will not do anything else but fly online in my spare time:) This sim turns out just as great as I expected and even better. AWESOME! YAY:)
=38=Tatarenko Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 My prediction based on the stream: maybe nothing this w/e or IL-2 if ready. Then QMB. Then multiplayer. Then Stuka. Then Yak-1.
Reflected Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 A little question: why is this only available on weekends? I mean can't they run a server with the old version where we play while they're chiseling the next one, then on Fridays they just update it? I'm no IT guru, that's why I'm asking. Or is it a business decision?

I mean can't they run a server with the old version where we play while they're chiseling the next one, then on Fridays they just update it? I'm no IT guru, that's why I'm asking. Or is it a business decision? I suspect they log data while we are connected and then look through it for bugs and to see the server performance
Finkeren Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I really think we'll get our hands on the QMB this Friday. For the IL-2 I'll say it's 50-50. Dynamic lighting I think will also be ready. The Stuka still looks half a month out. For MP I have no idea.
OBT-Psycho Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I wonder if QMB will take place on the whole map or just the small map we had in previous build. I wou say the small one to begin with and to chase down last bugs, and whole map a bit later. but so far I am with Finkeren on next update
LLv34_Flanker Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 S! QMB on the big Stalingrad map would be like asking for trouble, big time. That map is not ready yet and apparently has a bug causing crashes etc. So I would presume according to the stream that Lapino map it is.
=38=Tatarenko Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Most of the armament options are unfinished on the Stuka. Don't worry.
6./ZG26_Emil Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I just imagine with the amazing effects we have cluster bombs will look amazing :D
J4SCrisZeri Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 just a rough QMB working on Lapino map would keep me busy for weeks. Flying around, bombing and playing the scripted dogfight is not that attractive for me anymore but a 4/6 fighters dogfight.... ahhrrrrrr!
Finkeren Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Well IIRC the live stream showed the QMB on the Stalingrad map, so I guess that they will use that right from the start.
OBT-Psycho Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 and it would be nce so see mutiple aircraft in dogfight too. Sure AI looks good at the moment, but I wonder how it can handle teamwork.
BeastyBaiter Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 My prediction based on the stream: maybe nothing this w/e or IL-2 if ready. Then QMB. Then multiplayer. Then Stuka. Then Yak-1. This would be my guess as well. The impression I got was they are a week or two away from having several big items ready but no major new features are ready just yet. We also know they prefer to release big things one at a time so it isn't like it will be nothing this week and then a new plane + QMB + MP next week. So my guess on this weekend is the new lighting effects they showed off in the dev stream and some other minor odds and ends. The following weekend will have either the IL-2 or the QMB, but not both. Whichever of those isn't picked will be in the one after that.
J4SCrisZeri Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I am very curious about clouds, weather and atmosphere too. QMB and new planes are cool stuff, but the weather and lighting management can really change the face of a game/sim, and be crucial about the overall look of the whole thing. Plus, they would add another realism element I guess. But I have no idea about when or how that is scheduled on their roadmap.
Picchio Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Clouds! Snow! Argh, please! And a sun at dusk and dawn! It can't be called a sky otherwise! The team's already doing a great job on the atmospheric perspective though, as expected, so let's remain patient and hopeful... Even a sketchy radio module would be very welcome, as well... Edited January 23, 2014 by Picchio
Volkoff Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 My guess is that we will get to play with the Il2 and Lapino QMB. MJ
Feathered_IV Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Long weekend in Oz, and I've got Tuesday off too. F'ingers crossed the Sturmovik gets out of testing. Really gagging for it.
FuriousMeow Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Clouds! Snow! Argh, please! And a sun at dusk and dawn! It can't be called a sky otherwise! Have you tried RoF? The clouds, precipitation, day/night cycle are amazing. The haze we see now that I've seen complaints about are only because of the preset times for the missions. RoF's QMB is quite amazing, and the haze will actually dissipate or form depending on the time set and how long you fly for.

71st_AH_Mastiff Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I can barely get time to do a video..
II./JG27_Rich Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Multiplayer is what I live for even though yesterday I think I almost needed the cardio paddles and a change of my depends when a Spitfire snuck up on me and suddenly tracers were raining down like Lucies diamonds in the sky

Yessir I have, that's why I'm so eager to see how it's all gonna be in BoS!
Finkeren Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Oh well, no need to speculate anymore: No new content this week On the other hand, MP is much, much closer than I thought The Ju 87 unlocks are an interesting read. Seems it's only gonna cover the really rare stuff, which means we'll have all the standard loadouts available from the start. Very positive.
OBT-Psycho Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 it seems pretty logical to me. you have your common stuka, and work it out to gather experience, then you are given special stuff. Even the logic of the unlock is clear. "You manage to drop sc1000, come here buddy, I will show you a new one even bigger. "Oh, so you are bored with large stuff under your belly, I put together this nice piece of machine guns, would you like to try it out i nthe field? "Oh, and btw, those small MG are working pretty well on soft target...BUT LOOK AT THIS. If it's worth putting guns under the wings, it's worth putting CANON under the wing." I am a bit disappointed, as I eagerly look forward to put my ass in a Sturmovik, but I won't be able to play that much on this session so... I think it is a "gather all graphical data you can" session for the dev 1
