Lets hope we're not. At the moment every is going according to the plan.   Only fear we have - the new GUI development. While Scale Form API is dead for 6 years allready - its become impossible to find developers for it. So evolution of current GUI have stuck. "Marshall sad story" - one of the cosequences of that. Last year we have took decision which should be taken several years ago - to develop new IL-2 GUI using another API from the scratch to allow IL-2 gamedesign to evo

While IL2 is focused on prop planes, we have made may be the one of the best steps in tank combat simulation as side-project.   So... I am not hinting at anything, but there are no principal limitations or barriers in our game engine and graphics engine to evolve it for something like "F-35 versus Su-57" or "Wings over Vietnam", or even for round-world modelling, or riding your Harley to the airbase and walking around your plane and checking its insides, talking to technicans, and othe

We should have 1st plane in the project to make fair statements about what project will contain. Initial idea - to announce it and tell about details long later - we disliked it after some thinking. Plus, now, we have an external example, when you announcing something when you have nothing in your hands - it will not statisfy the community. Community will ask "so... and what? what next? what exactly you will do?". And you have no answers which are sure by yourself. As I've said before - many tec

Yes and No. We started development of all airplanes. Yes. But:   We still have no final sure how many them will be player controlled and how many of them will be ready till release date.   So: Yes and No.   And if we will not post the player's planeset and release date in a week after announce - you guys will walk around our office with pitchforks and torches claiming about them (planeset and release date) same as now you claim for announce.   And thi

Aren't you guys tired of going around in circles yet? This thread has been going for almost a month and we're not any closer to actually knowing what the new project is, aside from the few who are convinced they know what it is and everyone else is wrong ? (and who have to insist on saying as much every single time its brought up)

 

Seriously, don't you guys have jobs, or other hobbies?

Soviet Invasion of Manchuria in 45, (IL2 transforms into an IL10) or CBI? I'm all out of G.A.S. for anything coming from this developer. Without Carriers, and carrier planes, there is no appeal to a Korean map, and it seems a bit much for them to bite off at this point. Ditching, bailing out into the Sea, and dropping torpedoes, we're told is impossible in this engine, or so it seems from the dialog we got. I'm jaded to think they will make it into this new game. And when you can't find people to code basic functions, yer screwed. At this point in time I have no intention of pre-ordering this new iteration of IL2, and with all the badges under my Tag, I probably should have guarded my funds more carefully. I don't play FC or TC, never have, nor will I purchase any more expansions. Waste of disc space really. RAM costs money.

 

After a major loss in my family, and taking a look at what's important, and what is not, this game/sim is on the back burner now.

But I have to admit, it's entertaining to read the forums when I'm I need a laugh...:popcorm: But, I stopped hoping for honest discourse a long time ago.

 

I am glad Luke reached out to an old skinner friend of yours and mine and got him back from making DCS skins to fixing the templates of the new planes. He had also lost faith and trust in the powers that be.

You're conflating two separate issues - the theme of the next "project" and whether or not it's a new game.

 

No-one disputes that they're creating (among other stuff) a new UI. It's one of the few things they *did* announce.

 

Neither does anyone dispute that building a new UI is a huge amount of work and takes a long time.

 

However whether this will be done in a new game or in a separate one remains to be seen. Given that they are building new AI, a new UI engine, and other difficult stuff, it'd take a huge amount of time regardless so the fact that it takes a long time can't be used as an argument for or against it being a new game. That's exactly my point.

 

Furthermore all of this is wholly unrelated to whether the next "project" will be Korea or not.

it mathers, because guy i was replaying was saying that Korea makes no logic as they would not be able to use all assets from this game, east or west front DLCs.

I just show with that quote about GUI, that devs are making new game, so then it dosent mather what assets we have now. 

I dont know how you can belive that they will make new GUI and then spend more time making everything in GB work on it, for FREE, insted spend less time and use new GUI to make new game and get money for it. This is what they did when they spend 5 years working on making RoF GUI better and then used it for IL-2, not RoF, then made ww1 airplanes later in it, not give it for free to RoF and waist time making RoF stuff work in it. Its obvious they are making new game.

Well first of all, I'm not certain there will not be a new game. It's possible. But it's also possible they make it a "DLC" like the previous ones:

- They only things they mentioned they're going to build from the ground up (GUI, Shading, Radio, AI) are relatively easy to combine with existing aircraft.

- They already said they're likely going to the PTO after the next "project". Why return to WW2 in a new game, when all other WW2 stuff is in an old one?

- The main selling point of IL2 is the sheer volume of its content. If they indeed move to the PTO, they may well "miss the boat" so to speak and lose much of their customer base to Combat Pilot, which is presumably long since released by then.

And that's where you're wrong ;) You use that quote about the GUI to explain why it's taking so long, use the fact that it's taking so long to "prove" that the new "project" is a separate game, then use the "fact" that it'll be a separate game to explain why they haven't announced anything, and then again use the fact that they haven't announced anything to "prove" that it's a separate game. See where your reasoning falls apart? Your argumentation goes in circles.

 

I agree with you that the ability to re-use assets isn't very important for a Korea module. However they already said the module after that will be WW2 again. Right now, they are the market leader in realistic, coherent packages of aircraft and maps. Would they risk losing this position to Combat Pilot or perhaps even DCS by giving up their only advantage, this amount of aircraft and maps? I don't know. What I do know however is that these are hard questions and we haven't seen any conclusive evidence either way.

Is it possible?  A Malta and Tobrouk map?  With player controlled tanks, areoplanes, convoys, and submarines?  And aircraft carriers ? [because they have the data?]

 

And biplane torpedo bombers?

Oof I hope. Bagration and rounding out the soviets with some late war stuff to match the west would be great. It would also be fun to try soviets vs USAF & RAF.

Love the George! Not like the Zero mind you, but a great airplane to have someday.

Very little available research available on it compared to the Zero, and even the Oscar.

 

Looking forward to seeing it if these guys get to late war PTO. :)
