69th_Mobile_BBQ Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Very nice! I am truly impressed that not only are the Devs building the new BoN module, they are also creating new assets and improvements for the BoX series as a whole. It's awesome to see that my purchases, while invoiced as specific individual items, are being used as a "blanket" investment into the entirety of the series. BoM, BoS, BoK, FC, TC, and BoBp are still benefitting from the work being done! It's very rare to see Devs do that. Usually when they call a project "good" it's instantly forgotten... and on to the next thing. ~S~ !!! Edited February 21, 2020 by Mobile_BBQ 4 5

It wasn't that long ago that all the maps were upgraded to maybe the then new Kuban standard? I'm not completely positive when but it was a huge free upgrade we all enjoyed. Lots of new excitement headed our way. The continued evolution of the AI and an upgrade to the damage model will be a huge improvement.
senseispcc Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Each week great news, when shall this stop?! Never I hope. Thanks.
WheelwrightPL Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Why? IL2 already has the best damage model in the business and challenging AI. I see higher priorities like upgrading maps fidelity or adding some ground physics.
RhumbaAzul Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Appreciate the continuing work @Jason_Williams. Thanks. Can we expect some water traffic in Bodenplatte at some point? I like sinking things.

I'm not a coder so admittedly i have no idea how possible or easy this would be to do. Cheers. 1
Jason_Williams Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Anything could be used, but I have no one besides Viks to create original Career mission templates that would include them and Viks is swamped with other more important things. Mission builders could of course make custom missions with them and any boats or ships. Jason 2 3 1

To be clear, I'm not expecting full across-all-modules overhauls. I hope and daydream about it, but I don't expect it. I just think that it is very cool that the "new" work also has micro tweaks and seemingly "bonus" treats/assets that can also retroactively improve the older portions of the series.

Too much of learning curve and too much uncertainty about follow-through? I remember that the RoF modding of ground units produced a few nice results, but I could easily see it not having been worth the effort (relative to simply hiring someone to build them on contract). It'd be really nice if there was some way to magically increase your available budget... buying a collector plane or two really feels like only a drop in the bucket compared to finding a way to increase the audience.
LLv24_Zami Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 As a fellow pilot I´d say they are improving the product as best they can with the resources and sources available. Not any simulation is perfect but they`re really working hard for us. I have an easy job comparing to them ? 1
Hanu Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Thank you Jason for actively participating the thread. I appreciate the straight talk, and I really am astonished how much you can deliver for such a small team. I don't think that most of us really understand how much is owed by so many to so few. And I'm not even mentioning what IL-2's future looked like in its early days. I was early backer because of sooo promising technique, but got so frustrated because of weird gaming decisions. By the time of Kuban release I came back and have been so happy to see that focus has been turned to where it should have been. And since I've bought everything you sell. 1 3

Jade_Monkey Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Looking forward to the updated DM, it always feels good to hear that the devs continue paying attention to the core features of the sim and they take a continuous improvement approach instead of being done. Same goes for the Soviet pilot model. Ambulances and animated tankers are also very welcome, they will add a lot of immersion to the airfields. Definitely not a must, but it would be amazing to have snow plows and tractors with the bombs as vehicles too. Just a suggestion for the future. I feel very lucky to have one of my hobbies in the hands of such a talented and dedicated group of devs. Keep it up! As a token of appreciation I bought a few key to give away to the community.
namhee2 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 One question, it will be justified to get punished points if you destroy a Red Cross vehicle. 1 1
dburne Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Nice, looking forward to the damage and the AI improvements for sure!
=FEW=Hauggy Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I'm so glad to see that after the soviet planes getting some 4k love we're also getting new pilot models! Nice ground vehicles btw hopefully they will not simply explode now.
=EXPEND=Capt_Yorkshire Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 All good stuff thx devs , i'm hoping for another tweak with the spotting system soon.
Calius1945 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Im fairly new to the party, however anything where devs are open on progress and mention more attention to AI is always a good thing in my book regardless of priorities

It can take a bit of time to do, as with most things sim related, but it's always good to see! Also, welcome to the party! ?
Danziger Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 From the comments I read, I think people are getting the visual and physical damage models confused. They are working on improvements to the physical damage model. An improved visual damage model with 3d damaged panels like Cliffs would be a massive, expensive, and time-consuming undertaking. 2
BB-Madman Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 "for instance, you'll better hear the hits on your aircraft in multiplayer." Will this apply to single player as well? Thanks for all the effort and hard work, we really appreciate it!

We didn't just add or subtract things, we re-built them almost from scratch and took more factors into consideration and eliminated old bugs and errors in algorithms etc. The end result is not known yet because we are doing another round of testing this weekend. Jason For me, this is better news than a new map or a new plane. When it comes t the simulation of ww 2 aircombat this is top of the line. The fact you are working on these DM and improve it is what make this greater. thank you. AI improvements are welcomed too. But I knew this was wip.

spamRoast Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Quote We're also working on further AI improvements, namely on how they dogfight. Update 4.005 will include these improvements. In the future, we'll begin working on its tactical level and on how they follow the commands ?
