Developer Diary, Part 76


Recommended Posts

Someone please say "Take some well deserved rest" in Russian. :salute::)

 

They're in project crunch mode for Sept. launch. Rest, unfortunately, only comes when the project goes live! The last couple of months in a major project with tight deadlines are hell for everybody involved - at the end of 2 long years everything ramps up another level when people are already tired and fed up. The parties after everything's done are good though!

Now that's one party I'd like to attend :drinks:  Bet the next morning is hell though :coffee:

Well, yeah but I think one day off for some zzz's after working through the night isn't too much to allow is it? They're not robots after all.

Держите рабочие парни .... вы почти у цели!

Amazing work guys! Really looking forward to this:)

Take the time you need, and do get some sleep!

 

Greetings from another crunching dev who also has a September deadline...

and is down with the plague. *cough*

To fly or not to fly, that is the question?

 

Do I go online and fly without new update,only to see 20 mins later some other pilot flying by in his brand new HE111?

 

I would not be amused! :lol:

 

Now theres a question!

They're working on it. Or they've collapsed from exhaustion. Either way, we can't complain.

I do find it a bit humorous that the greatest reaction from the community comes from a "failed" update.

 

Truly looking forward to the update, whenever that is.

I think it's only natural in this case. Many have been waiting for the fix on FW190A and also HE111 to fly. I personally have been waiting for the Heinkel since the announsement that it's gonna be in the game, so now that both of those are coming in this update and on top of that a new map and multiplayer overhaul it's just so big update. There have been delays (and cansellations) on updates before and everybody have been taking it cool. Situation is different now.

I think everyone is taking this delay extremely cool. I appreciate that too. With the drama some people have caused over the last week. Its refreshing to see people just eagerly await something and happily discuss its merits rather than try to slag the dev team. Pleaae continue to prove the nay sayers wrong! See you in the skies!

Maybe we should stop shooting each other down in MP, LOL!

It is what it is.....no reason we can't find some humor in the wait and maybe a smile every now and then.

Maybe they had a deadstick with the 111?

Anton is Ok - but I still prefer Dora.

But no negative G's !! - that's too exhausting.

I haven't bothered to look yet, but does any of the latest rash of black magic spam include something for keeping game developers going for two nights in a row?

Edit: All gone now...

For some reason my launcher is not updating to the latest version with the He111. Or is it not out yet?

Now you're just being silly!

Did that 111 crash into a field of cotton balls?

 

fjacobsen - congratulations. That is officially the first plane porn I've ever seen. The thought has now occurred to me though that it does actually exist out there somewhere. What "rule" is that - 34?

Sorry if I seem that way but I think I have misunderstood something or missed something.

It's just the last four or five pages have been about the fact that the update hasn't arrived yet!

For what its worth, I had the same problem a few updates back, didn't arrive in Northern England until the Monday, 

So waiting patiently, I run the shortcut that usually updates but it just tells me to PLAY, so I play.

The pics look great, no problem, as others too have the same problem. Could it be that the server is maxed out on the download side and we'll get a peek when when can

 

Well done the dev team, its only a short glitch I hope

Posted

Looking at the side view of the HE111, has it got an MG fitted in the tail?

 

I asked this question of the old IL2 forum, without a definate answer, but there may be some new commers here who maybe able to answer the question......

 

The MG mounted in the HE111 tail is fixed, but who fired it? Was there any sighting mechanism, or was it just pull the trigger & hope to see what gets hit.

So you've never seen this:

 

 

Arguably the most famous example of technological coitus ever put on the big screen, and it involves aircraft (naturally)

I don't have a problem with two radial engines making out....it's when you have one radial and an inverted V, that really disgusts me.....

I am sure they will do as they always do, update this thread at the top with the announcement that the update is ready, when it is available to download.

I don't think there was a sighting mechanism (someone will know for sure) and I'm not sure who fired it but it was fixed, so it looks like a deterrent rather than a really useful defensive weapon.

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.

 

That is the way I understood it. Very nice work.

 Yeah, but You need to move closer on the six o'clock position.

FYI - the Russian counterpart of this forum is already on page 8 of this thread there... We're slacking here. More rants needed. ;)

LoL, I knew that was coming. Thanks for holding back. :lol:

Hmmmmm.... this confuses me. Are you against interacial relations in airplanes or are you really, really pro-homosexuality? :huh:

If we were to have a Pacific campaign, how would this be handled? Select a theatre and time range, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Midway?

 

How would North Africa/Mediterranean be handled?

 

To me the real challenging one would be the "Western" Bomber offensive, the map I presume would have to significantly larger than anything done previously, from at least Northern England to Southern Germany, yet missions were also "shuttle" missions where they would land in North Africa, hit Italy and then return, that's a lot of space to cover, without the technologies involved from both sides. http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/rafhistorytimeline1943.cfm

 

I know more Eastern Front goodies will be coming first most likely, which is awesome too of course, but my knowledge of this is still kinda sketchy.
