Developer Diary, Part 55


Recommended Posts

Posted

The Stuka is great fun to bomb with, tearing down from 15,000 ft vertically and dropping the payload with pinpoint accuracy is quite the experience! You guys will enjoy it. I think it's probably better the Stuka came out before MP, so at least this way when MP comes it will have one fighter and one dedicated ground attack aircraft per side (I'll confirm that MP works too).

 

This.

People have different priorities for this sim, and that is fine.

Me, I'm desperately waiting for the QMB and new Mission Editor.

However, that said, please express your interests and opinions in a positive way and remember always that this sim, like the world, like the universe, does not revolve around your personal interests.

So to update all you need  to do is press play after clicking on the new launcher? I ask this because when I do that now there is a message that says: Please update your game new version available. To update , exit game and relaunch then click "update" in the launcher dialogue box. #

 

Can someone tell me exactly how to update Please! 

Posted

The game update is probably not up yet.

Check the forum for a message. It's usually around 8:00pm GMT, I think.

Stuka? P_03BA_1.GIF Here, little T-34. C'mehere .. Kitty kitty kitty ... :crazy:

ROTFL!

Great, Ju87 :yahoo: . Those Pe2 images look superb too. That's another aircraft I'm really looking forward to trying out. Great job once gain team :salute:

Posted

The Ju-87, I said the ju--87... The ST87UKA... (it's important to get the designation absolutely correct isn't it)... will be reflected in the missions we can fly against it and blow it into little germanski pieces?

You guys always come through. You say what you going to do and then you do it. That fact is something that I am sure many of us really appreciate. Thanks for the Stuka!!!

The VUB-1 rear turret.

Source: Squadron Signal "Petlyakov Pe-2 In action" n°181, by Hans-Heiri Stapler:

VUB-1.jpg

Our Pe-2 won't have that turret, it will have a flexible ShKAS in the open back of the canopy on a mount fairly similar to the field modded 2-seater IL-2. We're getting the Pe-2 Series 83 standard. The turret was introduced on the Series 110 IIRC.

 

BTW: those vanes are a cool little detail, I always wondered what they were for. I hope such small details as that are modelled in the FM. Would be cool to see your plane slow down and/or steer off course, if the rear gun is swung out to one side and into the slipstream.

S! Thank you for this great update.

Posted

No thanks, dont need any new planes and stuff until the MP is ready.

 

Guys, get that thing running asap, really no interest to start IL2 since several weeks now! actually it is several months now!

 

Keep pushing!

 

To me that sounds as if you don't actually have any real interest in the simming part of flightsimming, because surely even someone who just wants to fly coop or online missions can spend a few days getting to learn the planes of the sim properly: doing takeoffs and landings, getting to know the details of the flight model, dynamic model, etc, etc. All of it stuff which can be done admirably well in the present format.

The developers are on 'double secret probation' (shhhhhh), and what do they do? They throw a STUKA party.

 

 

STUKA! STUKA! STUKA! STUKA! STUKA! STUKA! STUKA! STUKA!

Kwiatek, Bender and Darling rarely play RoF any more.  It's safe for you to attack 2 seaters again.

Oh for God`s sake....now that the Stuka is delivered within the " 2 weeks", i too fear for the meaning of that Olegism.

A decade after it`s birth the sentence will turn from a joke into the truth..i hope.

Thanks Zak and team, i greatly appreciate being able to count on your statements. Be sure ;)

 

Nice antidote to my CloD-trauma

I uploaded the original Stuka manual (Betriebsanleitung)  several days ago. Maybe on or another will find it usefull.

However it is in german . I also uploaded In the german section of the forums  a manual for "Waffenanlage" (weapons) and "Kaltstart im Winter" (kickstart in winter?) manual.

This looks fantastic - every Friday a Christmas!!! Thumbs up to all the developers, I've never seen a new game put out so well.

The Ju 87 looks beautyful! Tonight I will have a damn good time! Thats fo sure!!

 

Since November I never got bored, even if there was not so much content in the beginning of the early access.

Learning to handle the LaGG and Friedrich properly was really a lot of fun. 

But things definetly speeded up this february. I can´t imagine how the finished product will be.

Even in this stage it´s worth every penny I´ve spent!!!!

:biggrin:  :salute:

Al right, the 14th early access session has started. Enjoy :)

The launcher looked like it was downloading 192 meg file, then it said failded to update.

Thanks, made the difference for me...I just disabled Sweet FX in Flight FX and went from failure to success

 

Once the update was complete I re-enabled Sweet FX, and I've got a sweet (fx) looking new crate in the hanger.  :salute:
