Thank you, Foo, for your friday update!

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Thanks for the update. And it seems VikS is there too :D Oh the times we flew against his =FB= group in original IL-2. Big salute to them all!

[JG4_Sputnik]

Thank you foo

[71st_AH_Hooves]

The team looks like they are working their tails off!!!!  And having FUN too!!  Way to go guys!  Keep it up! We are all behind you!

[JG4_Continuo]

Well, that looks promissing....!

[EagleEye]

Nice, thanks Fubar. Can we have names for the faces(maybe B6 know?) please?   I think I recognise Albert Zhiltsov, A. Barsuk and VikS.

[79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer]

Thanks for the "mini-update"!

[Bearcat]

Did anyone else notice the modified MSFFB/CH hybrid joysticks..?

[Graawl]

I didn't at first but now you say it...

That's a nice piece of hardware ! I can see another modded CH/FFB stick in the second pic' background.

I wonder if it's a "standard mod" at 777.

 

Cool to put faces on our favorite suppliers 

 

 

Cheers !

Having the cooperation of the likes of Vladimir Barsuk is pretty amazing.  I wonder what his comments will be.

[FlatSpinMan]

Great work on providing a mini-update, Herr Bar.

I think it's great that the team consult pilots of the real aircraft and then have them try the sim version out. Of course there's a difference between wartime and peacetime conditions ,etc, etc, but still, cool.

[=IRFC=Jorri]

Can anyone give some background on these two gentlemen please?

[Uufflakke]

Thanx for sharing the images here from the Russian site.

 

By the way, what happened with the other photo's of the team where each member was presented with their name and task for BoS?

I'm sure that topic was here 2 weeks ago in the English speaking forum but when I wanted to take a look again later on that day the topic seemed to be disappeared...

[Feathered_IV]

Can anyone give some background on these two gentlemen please?

Think of Vladimir Barsuk as a kind of Russian Mark Hanna.  He gets paid to fly real Il-2's, Yaks, MiGs and Polikarpovs.

Thanks. He's the pilot from the videos that Loft is posting, right?

 

What about Roman Ovchinnikov?

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

Roman is a pilot of Yak-52 and he helped us to make dogfight with the real planes)

Yes, he worked with Oleg.

I overlooked it, you're right! Any tutorial for producing one of these hybrids, BC?

 

BTW, thanks for the head-up.

This one is not CH is MS/Suncon F-15, see SFS throttle (MODed too) left of monitor in this picture. http://fastpic.ru/view/33/2013/0419/bf5d355f316044e573d215a6cb8df264.jpg.html

Thanks for the info!

It should be added that despite how it looks from the pictures, test pilots flew ROF and not BOS. BOS physics are still not ready for their testing. Source: http://forum.il2sturmovik.su/topic/315-???????

[royraiden]

Great little update. Really appreciated.

[Heywooood]

I didn't see a P-51!!! oh noes!!!

no P-51 no buy for me!!

 

I dont undertand how anyone can expect to sell a flight sim without a P-51 - and since I dont see one in these pics that means theres NEver going to be one - its a lead pipe lock

I only saw one plane in the sky too - that means no multipalyer obviously - oh noes!!! ruins!!

 

and you HAVE to use a hybrid stick and throttle obviously for the sim to work at all ??? now I have to buy all new flight controller?!! oh NOES!!!

I guess Sukoi has some secret deal to make millions off of anyone who buys this game and then learns they have to buy their super modified shovel racer joystick thinger

 

 - in reality though - this is a great thread - thanks to the OP for sharing photos of developers and staff having fun with what looks to be a proper flight sim in its beginning stages

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

how come you guys arent using Track ir?

or free track?

[707shap_Srbin]

I didn't see a P-51!!! oh noes!!!

no P-51 no buy for me!!

 

P-51? What is it?

[Uufflakke]

@=KAG=Bersrk:

You really don't know what a P-51 is or is it just a joke?

Anyway this is a P-51:

About the photo's, I'm curious about what is written on the whiteboard. There is something drawn that looks like a canopy.

And what means VS2008? Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 perhaps?For developing console and graphical user interface applications?

[Uufflakke]

Nice, thanks Fubar. Can we have names for the faces(maybe B6 know?) please?   I think I recognise Albert Zhiltsov, A. Barsuk and VikS.

 

On the first picture the man left is Michael, the one in the middle is Albert aka Loft and the man right is Andrey aka Petrovitch

On the group picture the guy second to left is Sergey, the tallest in the back is Daniel aka Han and the one with orange shirt is Andrey aka Petrovitch again.

 

(correct me if I'm wrong...)

[Heywooood]

P-51? What is it?

lol - exactly

[Foobar]

Where has the video gone?

[royraiden]

I was about to ask the same, maybe they brought it down because it was showing something they they didnt want to reveal yet? I dont know hehe

Seriously now, that was pretty cool to see, albeit a little short, but very cool nonetheless.

[MACADEMIC]

Cockpit looks very good in that video, thanks for posting!

  Window Scratches and shadows are looking good. 

[71st_AH_Hooves]

Very nice those shadows darting across the floor looked really smooth
