Amused? hmmm... tell me more. my guess for the amusement. they introduce the German paratroopers as playable units to be used with the Ju-52. you can then drop your friends on top of the enemy. ? 2 1
dburne Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Looking forward to hearing more about those newer distant plans as the become less so distant.
Vig Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I'm happy you have made such impressive progress but, with tanks and a new WWI game thrown in the mix, the Pacific is pushed back out of sight. Well, cheers to those who enjoy it and best of luck in your new endeavors. 1
=SqSq=switch201 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Serious question, not trying to complain or anything like that, but what is the point of making 3D models for stuff like the powertrain? We can never see this model correct? so why put so much detail into it instead of making a set of hitboxes that correspond to a given system in the plane? Again I am not complaining, I am just curious as to how this all works. 1
Bremspropeller Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I'd also have preferred the all-leather pilot combination, but still, that pilot looks absolutely amazing!
1CGS Sneaksie Posted October 19, 2018 1CGS Posted October 19, 2018 The transmission box is next to the driver on these tanks. 7
Thad Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Salutations, Why such quality and accurate vehicle models? They pride themselves on the craft and vehicles they create. The modelers take pleasure in their creative efforts. I find such detailed modeling praiseworthy even if I never actually see all said details while playing. It pleases and reassures me that the developers are giving us quality accurate models. 1 3
-TBC-AeroAce Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Everything looks great although a little so so for me. I feel the electric quiet before the storm! Edited October 19, 2018 by AeroAce

Agree, i mean the late war German guy is OK, but he pales in comparison to those first 2. Seriously though, the label is right, we are all "in progress" . 1
FlyingNutcase Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Sounds good. My extensive wishlist from the head to head: A dedicated AI developer. Anything else is cherries on top. ? 3

Sgt_Joch Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I am guessing "surprised and amused" means it is not one of the usual suspects, i.e Pacific, med, Ostfront, etc.

=FEW=Hauggy Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Can't wait for the Pacific! These 2 guys on the first picture look like twins lol.
RedKestrel Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Its gonna be Il-2 Great Battles: Logistics. Every day is going to be an epic struggle as you, roleplaying a ground crew chief, have to keep these buckets of bolts airborne for every idiotic pilot who brings back shot up carcasses, drops them onto the runway from 30 feet up and bounces over to your hangar. Usable tools will include: -Mark II monkey wrench (with optional rust loadout) -Outdated manuals -Specialized tools that nevertheless dont function as well as the monkey wrench Additionally, there will be a function where you can shout obscenities at your AI crew to increase their productivity (at a cost to their morale). For maximum realism, use Russian or German. The sim will lack true immersion unless the devs enable a red mist coming over your vision when the wing commander criticizes your readiness rate. 5
SqueakyS Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I expect the detailed engine modeling greatly helps with damage modeling. Looking forward to hearing the new plans you guys are working on. re-worked AI perhaps? 1

Jade_Monkey Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Looking great! Im intrigued by future plans. I hope we can do another Q&A with Jason once we are closer to final Bodenplatte release and future plans are announced. Were pareachutes on the pilot's back instead of under them later in the war? I thought they sat on them but dont know much about the topic.
blitze Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 As pretty as pictures are, the discussion on development of the series and its future is great news. Jason being there in person with the team to get face time and round table (I would hope) thought processes is great. Can I offer a suggestion? In this age of multiple core CPU's can we get flight modelling and AI distributed across cores? This seems to me to be the limitation on ramping up the game engine. The graphics department is great and continues to improve wonderfully but it is being held back to an extent with regards to consistency and smoothness by the other two CPU core intensive processes. One notices this especially when you get multi engined aircraft in the sky and many of them at the same time. It is probably also why on the deck flying see's frames drop compared to 2+K alt as AI ground based objects start chomping up single core CPU resources. Especially at airfields. To be able to have the engine distribute these processes across the multiple CPU cores we have available and ramping up based on how many cores we have, this would be a god send. To graphics and to the scale of the front line action we fly. 1 5

Pips Priller exitig his Fw 190A-7/8 (note the Erla tank-rack): See this picture of Walter Loos about to board his Fw 190: Bruno Stolle in front of his Fw 190A-4: Spoiler 2

Are you kidding me, I have been in this the last two years because of PTO plans, but I do not use it. This is not my life and I have absolutely no hard feelings against the developers nor remarks like yours This is not my life, I accept a busyness strategy in a company I am not part of. But I want to have a clear message, if PTO is not coming I will delete my account here and uninstall the game. You know this is only a game, it really do not matter. But I bought a lot of stuff from here , gifting it away for supporting a PTO development. And I feel somehow cheated , because I would have left for some time ago if developers just could say the words 3 4

My statement stands, including the wink so don't take it too seriously - just a friendly poke. Maybe like Luftschiff suggested, it'll be coming earlier than expected.
