Chuck_Owl Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 This update is simply fantastic. I cannot wait to fly the He-111.One thing I am wondering, though... what does Zeus mean by "semi-historical?" It was my impression that Stalingrad and Novosokolniki maps were made with a 1:1 scale. Am I mistaken?
HagarTheHorrible Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 This update is simply fantastic. I cannot wait to fly the He-111. One thing I am wondering, though... what does Zeus mean by "semi-historical?" It was my impression that Stalingrad and Novosokolniki maps were made with a 1:1 scale. Am I mistaken? I think what he said was, that because of the size of the actual area in real life it wouldn't be possible to fit it into a sensible map area for BoS so they have compressed it somewhat. Actual places but moved slightly to fit them onto the map. 1
Beazil Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 but as has been pointed out earlier in this thread - don't burn yourselves out. Enjoy your successes, like this one, and enjoy a hard earned rest. *couldn't edit my previous post for some reason - probably user error*.
Freycinet Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I think what he said was, that because of the size of the actual area in real life it wouldn't be possible to fit it into a sensible map area for BoS so they have compressed it somewhat. Actual places but moved slightly to fit them onto the map. I'm not sure that is what it means. Oh well, we will know soon.
JtD Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) He's 'only' modelling about 1/6th of the historically relevant area. Computer can't handle all of it. The below map was posted by Zeus on the Russian forum. Edited August 23, 2014 by JtD 1
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I'm Home...... Ok release it... lol just kidding, probably taken awhile to compile the new update..
SYN_Saintblu Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Just fantastic. So excited to try this all out.
SeriousFox Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) He's 'only' modelling about 1/6th of the historically relevant area. Computer can't handle all of it. The below map was posted by Zeus on the Russian forum. Perhaps it's the limitation of Digital Nature engine? MS Flight Simulator and Xplane modeled entire planet. Of course default scenery isn't that detailed and accurate compare to BoS but there's lots of 3rd party scenery with hand putted props & custom mesh/textures that covers bigger region than BoS map.

YoYo Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Not yet the new version? But TY for He-111 for VFR flights, he has very good view for this . Funny video Zak! We are waiting. Edited August 23, 2014 by YoYo
Juri_JS Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) He's 'only' modelling about 1/6th of the historically relevant area. Computer can't handle all of it. The below map was posted by Zeus on the Russian forum. As far as I understand the information on the Russian forum the small Novosokolniki map is intended as a dogfight map and the larger Velikiye Luki map will be finished later. Maybe Zeus can clarify this. Edited August 23, 2014 by Juri_JS
Anw.StG2_Tyke Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Zak? Are those two who got ice bucketed both Hardcore fans? I mean the music genre with Bands like Agnostic Front, Biohazard, Madball and so on?
Tom25briklebritt Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Fantastic work, thanks! New map, wow! @Zak Ilya Muromets shows a summer scenario. Will we see a non winter scenario in BoS game too? Maybe a community project or an official dlc?! It would be so exciting to see how the game looks like with a summer map. I love playing CloD with the Team Fusion autumn setting.
feca1229 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Salute! I have not updated!? No HE 111... Feca
Voidhunger Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I think guys in the office fell asleep ...with the finger on upload button Edited August 23, 2014 by Voidhunger
ST_ami7b5 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Salute! I have not updated!? No HE 111... Feca Not yet. Some problems obviously. Let's just wait. They are working hard on it for sure.
SimFreak Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Can't wait to make few passed on 111 with 37mm cannon.
Feathered_IV Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Can't wait to make few passed on 111 with 37mm cannon. My thoughts exactly!
SYN_Jedders Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Great work, fellas! Colon and close brackets
FlyingNutcase Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 There's nothing wrong with the occasional all-nighter. Good for team bonding too, which you seem to have in bucket-loads. ;-)

The below map was posted by Zeus on the Russian forum. Actually, on that picture Zeus just show the 1/6 part what they have done already They will do the whole map.

Mastermariner Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 After the buckets of Vodka and ice things started to go wrong for 777. Master
Yazh-29 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Actually, on that picture Zeus just show the 1/6 part what they have done already They will do the whole map. Terrible !!
SR-F_Winger Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 hi folks. any news yet? still waiting for the launcher to update.
RoterBallon Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 hi folks. any news yet? still waiting for the launcher to update. Nope. Everybody is still waiting. Devs might have fallen asleep. I guess it's monday then.
Sakkay Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Developers. Please tell me something!.. because you can't watch this every ten minutes. 1
1CGS zeus-- Posted August 23, 2014 1CGS Posted August 23, 2014 This update is simply fantastic. I cannot wait to fly the He-111. One thing I am wondering, though... what does Zeus mean by "semi-historical?" It was my impression that Stalingrad and Novosokolniki maps were made with a 1:1 scale. Am I mistaken? Scale of map - exactly 1:1. I mean we can`t recreate every buildings, little villages, forest paths or rivulet, ets. It's simply physically impossible because the limitation of worktime, Digital Nature engine and modern PC at all. 1
Chuck_Owl Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Scale of map - exactly 1:1. I mean we can`t recreate every buildings, little villages, forest paths or rivulet, ets. It's simply physically impossible because the limitation of worktime, Digital Nature engine and modern PC at all. In that case it is just as I thought, which is great news. The screenies I have seen look absolutely astounding by the way. What size is Novosokolniki on a scale of Lapino to the Stalingrad map, just out of curiosity?
sallee Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Scale of map - exactly 1:1. I mean we can`t recreate every buildings, little villages, forest paths or rivulet, ets. It's simply physically impossible because the limitation of worktime, Digital Nature engine and modern PC at all. It's simply beautiful work, Zeus. Thank you for your efforts.
SR-F_Winger Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) are there screenshots of the new map anywhere? And thanks for the effort Zeus!!! EDIT: Rather shots of the landscape itself not the "map". I saw that earlier in the thread. Edited August 23, 2014 by VSG1_Winger
1CGS zeus-- Posted August 23, 2014 1CGS Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Actually, on that picture Zeus just show the 1/6 part what they have done already They will do the whole map. Actually, "already done" much more than that test map "Novosokolniki" (51x51 km). About ~50% of all 170х100km area is already done. For Example here AI-attack on Nevel train station: Nevel city: part of Velikie Luki (wip): Edited August 23, 2014 by zeus-- 5
Anw.StG2_Tyke Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Actually, I can't wait for flying escort for the He-111 to attack the trainstation...
[RG]Flanker1985 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 IL-2: 1946 will release a new patch where we can have co-pilot. Can we have that eventually for this game?? It is much realistic that way. 1 man fly the plane and the other use the bomb sight. 2
II./JG27_Rich Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I literally laughed out loud at that video! Ya me too. Sorry I was such a pain that one time Loft.
JtD Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Dear devs, any chance for an update about the update? Will it come before Monday? We all know there are these strange concepts like weekend, maybe even at 1C/777. We just know that in the past this sometimes wasn't an issue for you - so what's the plan this time? 3
