Missionbug Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Detail of the cities is truly awesome, I just hope we are not stopped from flying in and around them as now happens with Moscow, it is really annoying, especially so as the IL-2 career I am trying to fly at the moment has the airfield at the very edge of the city and the move away icon comes on every time I try to get to the first way point. If there are to be any no fly zones then please make it so nearby airfields are allowed to be outside the zone so mission immersion is not compromised by this annoying aspect of the current maps, and if possible then please allow access to Moscow eventually, flying over built up areas is all part of the experience of a flight game after all. Hopefully the cities will be available like in the old IL-2 where they were complete but mission builders had a damage brush that could activate the damage models of the buildings where it was applied, maybe one day Stalingrad will also be available in a the complete state prior to its destruction. Anyway, gripe aside, the update is really appreciated, thank you very much indeed, the more I see development of the map the more I love it and look forward to eventually having the opportunity of actually using it. Keep up the good work guys, all the aircraft so far shown and the new effects and scenery are magnificent and a pleasure to behold. Wishing you all the very best, Pete. 1

71st_AH_Hooves Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Man, I always look forward to Fridays. Today did NOT disappoint! The city detail is amazing! Hooves
Yogiflight Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 1 hour ago, RedKestrel said: I believe they mentioned in a previous DD that all buildings will have a destroyed version, so there will likely be a way to show the cities as destroyed or damaged. IIRC this was for the buildings in the Prokhorovka area on the TC map.
senseispcc Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 One thing to remember is that all cities during WW2 in northern France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands were partially destroyed! Not only because they were bombed by the USAAf or the RAF but they were invaded by the Germans how bombed them once they were liberated by the allies. So, plenty of destruction to go around. An example Leuven a city between Brussels and Liege in Belgium was visited nearly every day from 1943 until September 1944 by the US or British air forces and when liberated by the V1 and V2 of the Germans. By the way nice cities and good progress like Always great work.

Please don't come down too hard on them, if that is the normal next step for getting cute. They was just proud boss..just wanted to show it off a bit boss ?
=gRiJ=Roman- Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Great Dev. Yes, maybe now it's the time to start dreaming of Moscow! In these Devs I believe!

-TBC-AeroAce Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Sweet pics of the towns. They really are a class above what we already have. It has made me sad that the maps are usually one of the last items to be released and so much content is to come. I CAN'T WAIT
P51DMatt Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I swear that with each passing game, the maps just look better and better. Great job devs!
Tapi Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 The cities are amazing! IMHO the best cities I have ever seen in the sim environments... Only a little scared how such beauty will have the impact on the fluency of the flight...
StaB/Tomio_VR*** Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Any planned date (more or less) for Bodenplatte map release ? Edited October 5, 2018 by StaB/Tomio_VR***

PatrickAWlson Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I want to fly circles around the Kolner Dom in my Pfalz.
[CPT]Crunch Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Remember, no trees or tree walls within 15 meters of rail tracks and roads please. 2

Yes, I thought of the base sims (to tell the truth I have mainly X-plane and CLoD in my mind ? ) Of course, e.g. ORBX add-ons for civil sims are top notch... EDIT: I also know I cannot fairly compare autogen with custom made citises... I have just wanted to express my praise to the BOX devs Edited October 5, 2018 by Tapi 1
=CHN=nike_angus Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Thans for your amazing work! But shouldn't Cologne in ruins at that time ?? By the way, If Moscow can be bombed, many bomber players will be happy, bombing factory and airfields are boring.. Edited October 5, 2018 by =CHN=nike_angus

Archie Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Those cities are stunning. Can't wait to try that Pfalz, hopefully with a Blue Max skin!

Since it is showing the "old non blown" canopy it triggers the obvious question: Do we get D9s with both the "old" and the "bubble" canopy? That would be great. And can we get the "bubble" canopy also for the F8? Edited October 5, 2018 by sevenless 2
I./JG62_Lord_Efe Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) @Jason_Williams @Han can you guys tell something about the Ruhr Area ? With all the coalmines and Steelplants? And btw... Köln looks amazing!!! Edited October 5, 2018 by [I./JG62]Lord_Efe 1

76IAP-Black Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 So while they implement the new Technologie for cities, maybe they deactivate the no fly area around moscow ? Would be awesome 1
FlyingNutcase Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Cities well beyond expectations. Nice work. Hoping for realistic damage options for mission builders of course.

Jason He was immediately dragged out and shot for the example. ? When do we start having something about the P51? P39, P40, P47 ..... I love the bigger numbers
CrazyDuck Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Wow, an early (non-blown) canopy on Dora! Looks lot better than the blown one on D9 to me. ?
Jade_Monkey Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) That Dora shot looks amazing but that's not the game's ligthing model, so i can see how it's gonna come back to bite them once it doesn't look like that in game and people start complaining. Great news about the cities!! Looking forward to playing in this map. Edited October 5, 2018 by Jade_Monkey

Voidhunger Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 beautiful Dora! and excellent news as always!
