Dutch2 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I’m still a bit distrust on this the announcement of Ugramedia involved into this game. Convince me, Ugramedia can now finally make an real decent 3D map like we wanting to see in 2021 or still making 2D and black tarpits as the highlight of its craftsmanship.

Why ? There were no additional discounts in the BoX series for those who bought Stalingrad. With that line of reasoning perhaps you can petition Jason for a discount if you bought Dynamix Red Baron. 7 4

Honestly, we have it pretty good. The standard discount for a new preorder is $10. They're giving us $20 off preorders! ? And Vol I is at a steep discount right now too for those who haven't taken the plunge yet. ? You're entitled to your own opinion, of course, but I really believe we are being given a more than generous deal here. 1 10

II./JG77_Manu* Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Awesome, so happy to see the series being continued and fleshed out to a "useful" state. Didn't purchase a flight sim product in ages since i don't even have the time to fly what i own, but this announcement makes me jump into FC for sure ?
Trog1odyte Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Very good news. Ordered (unlike Jason ?). Good plane set. I hope early-war planes appear in FC 3, though.

Luftschiff Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 What an overwhelmingly positive row of news - not only Gothas and recons but a potential (likely) Volume 3 confirmed, and new (???) collector planes?! I was going to wait until after payday/christmas but I think I want to show my approval right away. Excellent news and thank you for elaborating in the Officer's club!
unreasonable Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 No RE8 - but Sopwith Triplane, so happy enough. Plus larger map.... +++
Dutch2 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I’m still distrustful that Ugramedia is producing the map, as the FC1 is not well made. Convince me that this time Ugramedia is now hiring talented designers & studens, who can make an decent map for VR users and not a flat pancake with black tar pits. 2
=MOCAP=Thaddeus_Darwin Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Thanks Jason and team - there goes some of my wife's Christmas Present money - guess she's only getting the slippers and not the dressing gown set she wanted - ah, well - never mind - maybe I'll show her how to fly a plane...!

I wonder who will have nads big enough to fly that in MP given 1918 plane set.

=MOCAP=Thaddeus_Darwin Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 - take my money - take it all (I don't have much anyway...!) - Just don't drop those collector planes until after Christmas - my Credit Card can't stand much more...!

Are you Dietz? Love your work if so! Also painted wwi for as bit mostly fine liner, nothing like your stuff though. Now I make sword scabbards instead. Also ordered and great news!

And good to see more Biplace making it to FC2, even if the rear gunners are terminators. I remember a while ago there was a French unit that wanted to form a historical Breguet Squadron but had to settle for Bristols....great news for them with this update!

1sttomars Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) This is such great news! Man, finally can put the whole ROF vs IL2 think to rest. Thank goodness. With any luck we can start getting folks into FC1 now and get the WW1 flight sim community under one banner. 1C Games absolutely crushing it with this decision.

There were no additional discounts in the BoX series for those who bought Stalingrad. That is because with all of these Battle of products like Stalingrad, Moscow, Kuban, Bodenplatte, etc. the previous games that had these places were almost 20 years old, and/or had a lower fidelity and lower quality graphics than what you would expect in IL-2 GBs. Rise of Flight is probably the whole reason that IL-2 GBs, including FC exists; without RoF there would be none of this right now. Sadly, the devs just decided to make it a pawn in the big picture of things?. Anyway, Rise of Flight was made by 777 Studios, now 1CGS -- the same people who are producing Flying Circus. If the regular price wasn't so steep, or there was 15 planes, then there probably would be no need for a discount, but that is not the case right now. And yes, there is a $20 discount, and between that and $70-80, I'd pick the price with the $20 discount.

It gave good reason to flying certain types of aircraft in a manner distinct from others, and it would be wonderful to see it return again. Tac recon, photo recon and artillery spotting also played a huge role in WWII campaigns. Adding some functions to support these activities would really enrich all of BoX, and open the door for some more dedicated recon aircraft. 6

FTC_Snowy Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 This is an easy pre-purchase decision for me. It doesn’t have all that I wished for but nonetheless it’s a good selection of aircraft. It does include the Pfalz D.XII so I am very happy. Bring on FC3! Thanks devs!
1sttomars Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 It's funny reading some of the other reactions regarding price. My only regret with IL2 is that I bought FC1 on sale. I wish I hadn't because I want to better incentivize the developers and let them know what an important addition it is. I have zero issues putting down money on the continued development of FC and already think it's fair they're knocking $20 off until January 15th. This is such a monumental moment for WW1 flight sims. It signals that IL2 is the future (it always was) and that continued development will happen on this platform. Enough of this ROF vs IL2 nonesense lets get the community here on the next gen sim. I'm just so happy to hear about this announcement 4
SYN_Mike77 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 34 minutes ago, veenee said: I am a bit disappointed there is no discount for those who bought FC vol I... perhaps something to consider still? $59 for this game is a stupidly good price. $59 is about what I payed for the above mentioned Dynamix Red Baron in 1993. A quick trip to the CPI inflation calculator tells me that $59 in 1993 = $107.67 today. Add to that the fact that the coding necessary for Red Baron fit on 3 floppy disk means that it probably had the same amount of coding for the whole game that is necessary to illustrate the ailerons moving in FC. Sounds like a good deal to me. 7
1sttomars Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Agreed. $60 USD is insane value. I'm just so happy with this announcement. What a fantastic move! 2
ZachariasX Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 There's good things in 2020. Thank you @Jason_Williams! 4
Jack59 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Absolutely fantastic news. And I'm especially delighted to see the Nieuport 28 on the regular lineup, as opposed to being a premium aircraft. This way it is more likely to be the subject of scripted campaigns. ? 1
2/JG26_rudidlo Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I really appreciate bringing new content into the Il-2 Sturmovik game. I really do. On the other hand I'm still missing some features in existing products: Recently released Tank Crew is full of bugs in WWII scenarios Allies are missing flyable transport aircraft in WWII scenarios Allies are missing real medium/heavy bomber (like TB-3 or B-17) I'm happy devs are working on multiple projects in parallel. I would appreciate finishing existing scenarios much more.
