Pharoah Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 hi guys I know this is always a bit of a guess but any ideas re the BoN release timeline? I'm ready to push the button on buying BoN but from what I understand there isn't anything available at the moment is there? (ie. maps/aircraft). And specifically...at what point is the Mosquito (which is the main reason I'm buying the BoN) to be released ie. early/mid/late? Thanks

Right now, there are no hard deadlines published, but Jason wrote an excellent post about 2020 and what's to come where he lists the "planned" release order. As you know, these things are really hard to calculate and there a lot of things that can happen so please, understand why there are not many dates shown. The devs are dealing with these lockdown problems and still delivering great updates. As for the Mosquito, looks like it's far down on the list but there are plenty of aircraft you can enjoy in the meantime if you decide to jump. I am having a great time with the P-47 Razorback. Looks like the next ones will be the famous Spitfire Griffon alongside the A6 variant and probably, Typhoon will be here by the Summer too.
Pharoah Posted January 10, 2021 Author Posted January 10, 2021 ok great thanks I'll have a look. I'm a long time supporter of IL2 so I'll definitely be getting it and am fine with their normal release schedule - just wasn't sure if something had been released as yet (which is fine).
I.JG3_CDRSEABEE Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 What is this Skydome that Jason is referring to?
BlitzPig_EL Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 It's the high level graphic depiction of the sky.

BlitzPig_EL Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 No idea, they want to improve it is all anyone knows. Perhaps they want to make it more layered, or dynamic?

There are some graphical imperfections in certain low lighting conditions (dusk or dawn) such as warped rings when staring straight up into the sky. There is also a 2d cloud layer at a very high altitude (or at least there was years ago, dunno if thats fixed) that once passed is very noticeable.
Pikestance Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 it is "interesting" that the one that most are "most" interested in experiencing are last in the order: Ju 88 C-6 Handley Page 0-400 Gotha G.V B-26 (AI) V-1 Cruise Missile Ar-234 Mosquito FB Mk.VI Me-410

Did I miss a poll somewhere? The ones I'm most interested in are higher up on the release list (Typhoon & P-51B/C) but it's gonna be different for everyone... Edited January 11, 2021 by DBFlyguy 3
Pikestance Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 @Jason_Williams Yes, I know. I remember you saying something like that earlier.. It is ashamed that is how it worked out. BTW, my statement wasn't meant to be any sort of indictment. 10 minutes ago, DBFlyguy said: "most" interested according to who? Did I miss a poll somewhere? The ones I'm most interested in are higher up on the release list (Typhoon & P-51B/C) but it's gonna be different for everyone... There is a poll here, but it was inspired by a discussion about what was the most anticipated aircraft. In the discussion people would often list multiple aircraft while the poll is just choosing one. There isn't a poll for the FC2 but people did seem to go gaga for the image of the Handley Page in particular. The Nieuport is also early and that was also an aircraft, similar to the Typhoon highly anticipated. I should note, I voted for the Late 6. I bought BON when it was released ?

P47-C and Me109 G6 Late have been released. More planes on the way in spring and summer. Map is sometime off.
Field-Ops Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I'm crossing my fingers that the Me410 can actually be done. Seems it has the least resources available.
Juri_JS Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I am more interested in the progress of the Normandy map. So far the devs have been rather quiet about what we can expect from the map. I think this time expectations are particularly high, because we have the direct comparision with the DCS Normandy map. It would be nice to get some wip screenshots from time to time. Edited January 11, 2021 by Juri_JS 5
