LF_Gallahad 1615 Posted August 28 Very tasty indeed, the C-47 looks gorgeous. Hope we can fly it one day. On the other hand: Another free campaign for Bodenplatte? Marshal being finished? great news! 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luger1969 164 Posted August 28 Alls good. Great news on the tempest campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THERION 1046 Posted August 28 Thank you Han and thank you to your team! Great news as always and you keep your promises too. I only really hope you lied to us concerning the C-47 only being AI - that would be the best swindle to us! Still hoping... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rjel 1487 Posted August 28 I'll add my vote for a flyable C-47. Gorgeous airplane. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taxman 109 Posted August 28 Thanks for DD today. The whole BOX series is much more than I expected, keep up the good, no make that the great work, the whole team has provided us in the last few years, and the years to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jade_Monkey 3500 Posted August 28 (edited) Quote Additionally, there is some progress towards the completion of the Air Marshal feature which has taken much longer than planned. We’ve also had to build up technical capacity in the field of map production, which is necessary to implement everything planned for the Normandy landscape. And as always improvements to the AI for both aircraft and ground vehicles continue. [...] deepening the model of aircraft fuel systems is in the research and prototyping stage. Probably the most interesting pieces of info. The C47 will be a great addition to the western front, expanding the types of missions that can be built. Looking forward to Nvidia's launch of new GPUs so I can get back to flying. Edited August 28 by Jade_Monkey 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlo-VR 78 Posted August 29 C-47, nice! That's also probably the most common aircraft in the game that most of us have also been on a real-life flight! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stoopy 917 Posted August 29 "Also, as a result of recent discussions in the community, work is underway to improve general aircraft visibility, which we hope will appear to be both realistic and more comfortable for players. This may require more than one future update to fully conquer, but we’ll see." Thank You! 👍 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CUJO_1970 1373 Posted August 29 Thanks for the update. Can you please define what precisely "G-6 Late" means? Does it mean simply new canopy and tall tail? Or does it include all options for actual G-6 - MW50; /AS series etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlitzPig_EL 2468 Posted August 29 Always liked the G6 AS in the original IL2, one of the few 109s I flew with any regularity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBFlyguy 149 Posted August 29 Excuse the ignorance, but what exactly is the "Air Marshal" feature? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DN308 128 Posted August 29 Maybe my English can confuse myself, but when I read about « map production », does it means what I think it means??? 😁 Does it means, us, missions and campaigns designers, will be able to work and modify the maps??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyllis 4 Posted August 29 Improved AI & Visibility, can't wait to see the improvements, this will make me buy & play IL2 BOX products again. The C47 is really cute, unlike the ugly Ju 52. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost certainly no :(. He's just talking about what they are doing to make the Normandy map themselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IckyATLAS 517 Posted August 29 Superb that C-47. I cross fingers for a nice paratrooper animation with the automatic chute opening cords that then would float from the open door. I know I ask too much. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeLv30_Redwing 337 Posted August 29 Nice to see you are still working with the Air Marshal system, features like that should make servers more interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACG_Onebad 247 Posted August 29 Does anyone mind sharing more information about what the Air Marshal is supposed to be when released? My group is in dire need of a radar system for BoX for when we do a Channel Front/Normandy campaign but before getting all my hopes up I'd like to know more about the planned features of the system. Most importantly: is it going to model the curvature of the earth e.g are low flying aircraft going to be spotted later than high contacts? Is it going to model the delay which plagued radar systems of the period. Is the radar range going to be based on historical radar positions or is it going to affect all contacts regardless of where they at? And most importantly - is it also going to be available to use in Kuban which saw significant GC use by each side? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
