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% :biggrin:  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

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... :)

My wife isn't into flying or flight sims... yet she couldn't suppress a hearty laugh when I quoted your post  :biggrin:

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 :).

From the video it seems quick missions will come first while they still have to iron out bugs in MP...

Posted

Are we BOS off at this moment? I can't connect anymore...and don't remember the dates  :unsure:

Posted

As usual Fifi, Fri 20:00 GMT - Mon 20:00 GMT

Posted

Yo, thanks Ami! Stupid me.

Can't wait for the Stuka!

Posted

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.

Posted

+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:)

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.

Posted

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 suspect they log data while we are connected and then look through it for bugs and to see the server performance

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.

Posted

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

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.

Posted

Couldn't stukas carry cluster bombs?

=38=Tatarenko
Posted

Most of the armament options are unfinished on the Stuka. Don't worry.

Posted

I just imagine with the amazing effects we have cluster bombs will look amazing :D

Posted

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 :biggrin:

 

but a 4/6 fighters dogfight.... ahhrrrrrr!

Posted

Well IIRC the live stream showed the QMB on the Stalingrad map, so I guess that they will use that right from the start.

=38=Tatarenko
Posted

no, it didn't. it used the lapino map.

Posted

Ah ok, my mistake.

Posted

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.  ;)

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.

Posted

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.

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...

My guess is that we will get to play with the Il2 and Lapino QMB.  :salute: MJ

Long weekend in Oz, and I've got Tuesday off too. F'ingers crossed the Sturmovik gets out of testing. Really gagging for it. :)

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.

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  :wacko:

Yessir I have, that's why I'm so eager to see how it's all gonna be in BoS!

Oh well, no need to speculate anymore: No new content this week :mellow:

 

On the other hand, MP is much, much closer than I thought :yahoo:

 

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.

Posted

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
