This aircraft will include the assault modifications G3, G3/R5 and Sturmjager and is planned to be released in the coming update along with the new graphical effects and aircraft AI improvements. ............................ Full news - here is a full text and visual materials 10 7 14
HBPencil Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I'm assume the P-51 pics are of game generated unit codes? I hope so! 13
6FG_Big_Al Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 OMG!!! I feel like a little fan girl right now ? Thank you so much for adding the side armoured glass aka "Scheuklappen" for the A6 (I was hoping so badly to see it on her <3) 1
LuftManu Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Fantastic news on the A6 and those modifications! About the rest, NICE! Changing numerals and such? This will be a great welcomed addition! I miss that from the old Il-2 ? 2 2
[DBS]Browning Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Quote And here are the screens on what we're working on at the moment, the feature that all the previously released BoX projects will benefit from: Wow! Is that procedural lettering on the side of that P-51? I know this has been a long term goal of the team for a very long time. I'm really happy you've been able to achieve it now. Congratulations! A very welcome feature. It looks absolutely seamless to. Edited January 29, 2021 by [DBS]Browning
BlitzPig_EL Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Tactical numbering decals!!!! Well done!!!!!! 2 1
Feathered_IV Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I like the 1C+GS code. I see what you did there ? Edited January 29, 2021 by Feathered_IV 5 4 5
BMA_FlyingShark Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 A short but very interesting dd. I'm very happy to see there's different ground attack mods coming for the A6. Have a nice day.
CountZero Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Nice t see sqad numbers added, finaly i can get rid of few gigabytes of unneccesary skins 7

sevenless Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Great news! And these new generated plane numbers are even better news! Edited January 29, 2021 by sevenless 1

I don't, but a skin wouldn't really be a "feature that all the previously released BoX projects will benefit from" and it would be strange to make a "1C GS" skin. Edited January 29, 2021 by [DBS]Browning
JG27_Steini Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I hope they fix the AI bug. Currently AI wont hit other enemy fighter in combat. Flying career is very frusttrating right now. 3 minutes ago, [DBS]Browning said: I don't, but a skin wouldn't really be a "feature that all the previously released BoX projects will benefit from" and it would be strange to make a "1C GS" skin.

Its airplane with same skin but differant squdron markings, its preaty obvious that its not just 3 new skins but new option to select squadron markings on official skins, or even maybe ability to use costum ones in adition to historic.
Vastarien Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Great to see squadron markings added. Just a question: are improved propellers rendering being considered among the new graphical effects?
ShamrockOneFive Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Oooooh! I know I hoped for Spitfire XIV stuff in the DD thread but I'll take this instead. Unit decals! 1 1
[-=BP=-]Slegawsky_VR Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Looks odd without serial numbers on vertical stab, gonna pass on this one. Why no cockpit pictures, why we are stuck with one stock being forced after every update??? 8
=IRFC=Gascan Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I'm curious how the lettering/numbering will work. Can I choose the placement and the coloring? The US fliers in WW1 tended to put large numbers on the wings of their SPADs, and there was also a specific serial number for each plane. Can I do a number on the wing and a serial number on the tail? Is this limited to letters and numbers, or does it allow images like nose art? Either way, I'm excited.
Avimimus Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I thought I'd be disappointed to know for sure that we won't be getting the Mk-103... ...but the quality you guys put into these birds, I can't help but to be very excited for (yet another) Fw-190. I'm sure it'll be different. 1
CaptainFlemme Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 It's ... just ... AWESOME ! Even if it's clearly a work in progress, it already looks very good. The black lettering seems out of a normal skin, not a decal like on the old il2. Good Job and Big Thanks !
Noisemaker Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Can we get any more details about the planned AI improvements? 3
easterling77 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 FW 190 A6? Generated codes? AI improvements? AWESOME Indeed Thank you very much for all this great stuff 1
Bando Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I'm more stoked about AI changes than anything else. I hope the regimental attacks on the player will cease. Sim is marching along fine. Huge "thank you" to the devs! 1
Diggun Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 am i tripping or do some of those screenshots seem to show clouds wot are better?
CSW_Tommy544 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Can't wait for the customizable squadron/aircraft designations, awesome news!

The black lettering seems out of a normal skin, not a decal like on the old il2. Good Job and Big Thanks ! The codes work with the bump texture. The engine was never designed to support this, but the team, namely Sergey, Mike and Daniel found a way. This is something that has to be designed to be included from the start as it affects all the models etc. Any next-gen product we make, will have this in the design from the start so it would be even more flexible than what we've come up with. It won't be ready for a while as we need to modify all planes and tanks to work with them, so please be patient. Maybe not until the end of the year. This was just a tease since we are pleased with the outcome. And once again, this solution was an offshoot due to working on tanks.

Just depends on the mission settings usually. Jason 16 19 7
StaB/Tomio_VR*** Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Any GM-1 system or other boost on the A6 variants ? Edited January 29, 2021 by StaB/Tomio_VR*** 1
DN308 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Not first at all but really pleased. I’m looking forward for the mossie anyway 1
ScotsmanFlyingscotsman Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Always glad to see another version of the FW-190, Stormbird site mentions this version was designed against heavy bombers, so the B-16 (AI) Marauder should be a good target....if you can catch it, we live in interesting times! Thanks guys 1
