Posted by Han,

BoX wasn't headed on Pacific because previous producer used FM engeneering resources for attempt of making complex fuel systems instead of attempt of developing carrier deck operations physics. Team wanted for Pacific science 2018 - team wanted to start it right after Battle of Kuban release.   Previous producer have publically described his ideas about what he wanted to do after Normandy in Great Battles - there are only DLCs about European Air War and polishing something - no any att

Posted by LukeFF,

Guys, to add to Han's post, please keep the discussion to the Combat Pilot announcement and not about what DCS is doing. There's a very, very long topic already here about DCS that I know you're all familiar with. ?

Does anyone know what the level of intended damage and systems modelling is? 


Presumably big holes in wooden flight decks with smoke and flames coming out of them, flooding, etc?

I think the Unreal engine does a very good ‘kersplosion?

I heard a lot of this unreal thing. I think people knowing better What a game engine is, unlike me barely able to use it , anyway I think most of them guessed it was unreal. Leading me to think the options is few if you not making it yourself.

And the original tech demo release detailing just what the engine is capable of.

As someone who enjoys envornments as much as the "flying" UE5 excites me. The abilty to amimate characters within the engine also leads me to dream of crewed carrier decks and midway airfield crew running for cover....

 

In my dull little mind UE is an iphone whilst homecooked engines are Android in that one does most things well whilst the other may do certain things better but perhaps not on its own and not as easily (*easily" is used as a comparative).

Boy I hope this thing gets early access. I mean REAL EARLY, even just 1 fighter + 1 CV. I wouldnt mind practicing carrier landings for 2 years or so until more content is available.

Looks great. I don't think we've ever had moving cloth on a ship in a dedicated combat flight sim before that's pretty cool.

If we're talking caves and rocks and stuff, the video game "The Beast of Caerbannog" also used the Unreal engine to great effect.

Challenging to discuss other sims, if you can't discuss what they are posting. Is it okay to post links to new updates?

Maybe in CP, if it becomes a sim, we can finally have flags waving in the breeze.

MP, when you repost a wall of full size screens from CP forum and I try to check out this thread while on bus or metro where file transfer rate isn't great, my phone browser crawls to a halt and I can't read people's posts before all this spam loads correctly after a while. You could at least use "hidden" function for pics just for the sake of forum browsing convenience. I think posting links should be OK with Luke, though. We're here to discuss the development and those who want to watch full size screens will do it later at home on their computer monitors anyway, probably directly on CP forum.

I really hope the systems and Damage modelling matches the internal modelling. 
 

Really liking the paint finish effects too. 
 

High hopes.

Nice, short and sharp and to the point - it's more than can be said of the 1C group in recent months.

Looking forward to the future of combat flight simulators across all fronts and teams.

This people knows what they are doing, Good for Jason and his team.. at least we are not blind for the future that await for us as flight sim comunity.

 

Uncertainty is definitely not something that helps keep the community together, and we've seen that in recent years since Jason's departure.

Well, Combat Pilot isn't anywhere near ready yet, but we get pretty regular updates on the state of play, plus we were informed from the start it would be Midway. (no secret squirrel guessing games for months on end)...

We have been kept in the loop all the way, plus now we know for sure they are heading to Guadalcanal next (again, no secret games) ... but Guadalcanal was a logical choice as many of the assets from Midway will be used, plus it's a battle that many have asked for, so good news!

Yes, and we have had reasons for holding back on an announcement - reasons that will become apparent soon enough. No one is trying to play some sort of secretive childish guessing game on our end.

Great news about CP.

But the new project from 1C may re-use their improved existing engine (???) (and remember CP UE5+ still has a lot to prove in the WWII flightsimming regard) so I still keep my fingers crossed and bet the 1C project will be what we all hoped for !

I never once mentioned childish, or even believed decisions made rightly or wrongly were childish...

How far away from release are we? Three years plus X?
