There are many other things, FM, DM, AI, absence of "miracle timers", etc. It looks very pretty. Always sunny and clear skies in CLOD-land though. It would be nice to see the same test in heavy cloud. I do wonder what will happen in VR with it looking that and with clouds and functioning AI. I may need to play in a freezer to keep my pc cool. von Tom 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A potential gem was saved. Still unclear as to what gear you would buy for TF 5.0 that you wouldn't buy for CloD 4.57 or whatever. Just as well not to get hung up over any potential VR upgrade. As far as I can tell the GUI can't be upgraded and a one-click record function is unattainable. If you are happy with those as is you are in luck. I cannot imagine how those GUI idiosyncrasies would be tolerable for VR users. Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, I will continue to like Cliffs and support TFS. I have nothing against BoX: 777 is a tremendous team, but Cliff's atmospherics look more 'right' to my eye-candy eye, and TFS seems to be preserving that look. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why a "next gen" video card would be required for TF 5.0. I am still using a 1080Ti. Would that card be inadequate to run TF 5.0? 1 hour ago, Eisenfaustus said: Which doesn't reflect TF's statements at all. Those could be summed up: "It's a lot of very doable work which we don't have time for yet but will engage after 5.0 has been commercial success" "Commercial success" is more achievable when based upon having enabled enhancements that make a product more accessible to a larger audience than those already invested. If OTOH "commercial success" is defined as making TF 5.0 acceptable to those users still active in CloD then VR, updated GUI, one-click "record" capability and a DCG might not be worth the expense, assuming they are even possible. "Doable" is irrelevant until "done". Link to post Share on other sites

ZG15_Siggie 4 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hallo an alle, ich habe ein neues System gebaut, Prozessor Ryzen 9, Grafikkarte MSI RTX 2070 S, HP Reverb: Das Bild ist sehr scharf, klar in der Auflösung. Fliegengitter sind nicht mehr erkennbar. Aber 2 Dinge stören: 1. Der FoV ist sehr klein, genau wie die erste Generation. 2. Der "Fokus"-Punkt, d.h. der "süße" Punkt, ist noch kleiner als in der ersten Generation. Bei der höchsten Auflösung bekomme ich Track Ir ca 160 - 180 fps, mit der HP Reverb zwischen 45 und 90 fps. nur, war mich über den Reverb stört, hat es ein kleines Fenster, in dem Sie deutlich sehen kann.

Ich habe das selbe Problem mit meiner Reverb G1, in der Mitte sehr scharf, ab 45° nach aussen wird das Bild unscharf und ich erkenne chromatische Abration (siehe unten, das obere Bild ist in der mitte des Display fotografiert, das darunterliegende Bild zeigt den rechten Rand des rechten Auge). Ich habe den HP Support kontaktiert und nach einigem hin und her wurde mir gesagt, dies sei der Bauart des VR-Headsets geschuldet und kein Fehler an meiner Einheit. Zuvor hatte ich eine Oculus CV1 und obwohl ich den Umstieg auf die Reverb nicht bereue, bin ich etwas enttäuscht und hoffe auf eine Verbesserung der Bildschärfe und optischen Qualität ausserhalb der Bildmitte in der nächsten Generation.

YoYo 601 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Ok, so release very soon, I know, not VR yet but will it planned more than likely ? What is mean "succes"? I fly ONLY VR (no VR = no joy for me). Id like to support this tittle but it will be very nice to have promise about VR implemantation in the next for example half a year ;). I remember it was sentence about some 2D gauges in Today's CoD/Blitz - its not a big problem, in Prepar3D some of addons use 2D gauges, in 3D environment it looks still ok, maybe not perfect like 3D gauges but it looks still ok (this can be improved in the future by patches). It will be big jump of CoD/Tobruk to the future and Todays standards - simulator with support of VR (like IL-2 BoX, DCS, P3D, new MFS2020 ect). It will be new life for CoD/Blitz/Tobruk and it will be totally different (and better) immersion. VR means = more customers also. Fingers crossed for this, CoD/Blitz was on my top list and now all planes stayed in hangar here from the long time . Edited July 2, 2020 by YoYo Link to post Share on other sites

343KKT_Kintaro 438 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I do possess "Cliffs of Dover" since the very first day of its release, March the 31st, 2011. I ended up by uninstalling the game at some point in the course of 2011, but reinstalled it several times since. I updated my game up to the BLITZ version last year and, this time, didn't unistall it again. I find BLITZ is very satisfactory and I look forward to the "Desert Wings - Tobruk" add-on release. Since yesterday, experienced French virtual pilots of the OBT squadron are teaching me how to fly a Hurricane. Engine start sequence, taxiing, takeoff, ammunition ballistics... all of this is real hardcore simulation. I LOVE IT. A few bugs are still a bit annoying, but my overall judgement on that game is that "Cliffs of Dover" is the best WWII combat flight simulator ever. We are no longer in 2011. Those few remaining bugs are insignificant compared to the quality of that simulation. I'm very happy with the "Great Battles" series but IL2GB bears no comparison with IL2CloDo when it comes to historical accuracy and hardcore simulation. I use a TracKIR 5, not VR. I'll buy "Desert Wings - Tobruk" for sure, there's no doubt of this. I address to Team Fusion the following wish: even if I do not have intentions of buying a VR device... after the release of Tobruk, please, focus your efforts and energy on the implementation of VR on BLITZ so that all of these debates are left behind us and some VR fans... leave us alone... 3 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
