Happy New Year B6, Luthier and all the Devs and the community. Looking forward to IL2 2012.

furbs 12-31-2011 08:27 AM

One question Luthier...
Will FSAA and AF work with the new graphics engine?

Thanks

Momod 12-31-2011 09:48 AM

Happy New Year to All, Keep up the good work.
Its good that we are getting the IL2 in the next sequel. Looking forward to it.
Thanks for all your efforts in 2011

I’d just like to clarify a couple of things, just in case:

1. We are continuing to work on ALL previously announced features: graphics, FM, AI, radio comms, launcher errors, etc. This has always been a constant, never changed, not expected to change.

2. We assume that the most common reaction to the screenshots will be “why the heck do we need that, why didn’t you work on XYZ instead”. We almost decided to skip the screenshots altogether, but then decided that we’ll get the same reaction if we post nothing as well. So we decided to post these anyway – and we’ve got our asbestos suits on.

To be honest I love all sorts of content additions. Patching bugs and issues is important, yes, but new content is ALWAYS welcome. In the long run it will make sure that IL-2 remains a versatile and interesting sim. I don't care if it's trains, trees, bikes, cars, planes! or bushes - I'm happy with any addition to the sim really.

That said I return the wishes for a happy new year to the team. Enjoy the season and return in good spirit in the next year. :)

Great Job B6 and 1C: Maddox Games.

Happy new year to you all and really great news. Cant wait to fly the IL2.

I will buy the 1/32 IL-2m3 from Hobby Boss. A IL2 is a must for me.

Thanks and Happy New Year

i'm buying BOM if:

- it allows merging maps and planes from both BOM and CLoD
- it brings better/correct FM
- it brings the clouds as promised in past SOW videos
- it brings weather system or at least weather variations
- it allows merging last two features with the CLoD content
- it brings dynamic campaign at least for the BOM scenario
- it features better AI
- it keeps performance at acceptable levels

just don't think i'll be pre-ordering this time around :rolleyes:

philip.ed 12-31-2011 03:50 PM

Have an awesome New Year all! :grin:

Per ardua ad astra.

il_corleone 12-31-2011 04:21 PM

Happy New Year to all players and the Company, in very excited about new additions to Cliffs of dover, but i think, (its my opinion) focuses all forces to put the base of the sim stable, and later, do the additions, but, its welcome :) Manu

BadAim 12-31-2011 05:04 PM

Happy new year, Hope this one is a little less bumpy for us all.

:( You are quoting one person but it will matter as most people feel like this -once bitten twice shy and multiply 1 by many who will wait this time. To be honest that list isn't unreasonable either.
Happy New Year and keep up the improvements and patches Dev team.

Rjel 12-31-2011 06:02 PM

Happy New Year one and all. Here's hoping 2012 will be a more peaceful year. Both real world and in the IL-2 universe. By this time next year perhaps all the bitterness will have dissolved with a fully functional CoD and it's coming descendents.

Look as how far this game has come . . . waaaaaait!!!!


" Many a truth have been spoken in jest", At least it is moving on from the BOB which has been done to death by many others, to the BOM which has been beaten to death by by IL-2.

Happy new year to you and your team too!

Happy New Year to all the 1C staff. Thanks for a year of new gaming and look forward to your next installment of patches, games, and updates.

carguy_ 01-01-2012 12:32 AM

I wish you guys a great year and even better IL2 work. I might help with that as BoM is day one buy from me. :D

But above all, good health for you and your families.

A new year in flight sim. Thanks Maddox.
 
I for one am tremendously greatful that luthier, B6 and the rest of the Maddox team have put their impressive talents to work in creating historically accurate simulations for those of us who are facinated by the sights and sounds of WWII air combat and not interested in the sea of junk that exists on TV or in other gaming franchises (football not included!!). Great work and thanks.

Happy New Year to all of you across the IL 2 net and looking forward to great things in 2012.

Luthier,
You can not please everyone. That would be impossible. That said, do what you do best, you are the professional. If one does not agree with what you post, tell them you are screwing this goat, let them worry about finding a home for the kids. ;)

PeterPanPan 01-02-2012 09:41 AM

Such a positive post is great news. Thanks for the news B6 and Luthier and a Happy New Year to all. Should be a great sim year ahead - we'll need something very immersive to distract us from the world economy!

Cheers all

PPP

RIP Joppe

Buster_Dee 01-02-2012 01:34 PM

BlackSix, you read my mind. My 1st reaction was, nice plane, but who cares. Then I started grinning. The 1st time I strapped on a Sturm I felt like a flying bulldog. I didn't care if anything was nipping at my heals; I just wanted to clamp my jaw onto something in front of me and watch it disintegrate.

Thanks for all.

Happy New Year from Hungary aswell! Keep up the hard work, and Tahnks!:)

Great stuff .. as for comment #2 .. you know what .. you cant please everyone.........

If anyone who is here doesn't get it by now they never will. This sim is a work in progress ... eventually it will cover a wide range of theaters with a detailed plane set .. Will it cover the range of IL2? I don't know .. and frankly I am like Rhett Butler on that ... I am pretty confident that given the nature of the business and the market that there is a lot more room to cover and that many of the aircraft that I would like to see will eventually make it into this sim. If it doesn't happen in 6 months I for one wont loose any sleep. To tell the truth I still can't fly CoD well yet .. my rig can't handle it well... and maybe that is where my patience comes from ... but given the track record of 1C ... it may not come when we'd all like it .. and it may take longer than two weeks.. but eventually it will come. I am still laughing at all those "BoB is vaporware ... " folks who swore that we would ever see this product in the first place. Those screens look great .. and from what I have seen of CoD it is great and has so much potential that we are just scratching the surface I bet ... so thanks for the update.

Mango 01-02-2012 09:04 PM

Talk about great news to start off the new year! VVS has some of the most exciting aircraft in WWII, can't wait to climb into my old friends again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the entire team!

Happy New Year to all! Just to throw my 2 cents/pence/kopecks into the mix.

#1 Luthier, glad to see all the work so far. I put CLOD up for a few months while you guys worked on it, and after jumping back into the game this weekend, I must say its come a long way. I know there is still a lot to do, but I enjoyed my time spent this weekend. I know there is no way of pleasing everyone, but my hats off. Despite my initial frustration, im happy to see where you guys have gotten the sim so far.

#2 I remember seeing the original IL-2 and thinking "who the hell wants to fly that?". And yet, here we are a decade later arguing over the same software. :) I look forward to seeing all our old familiar birds from the east back up and flying with all the new pits and CEM.

For all the whiners and naysayers, would you rather them do nothing? This series started off on the east front after all, why not revisit it again? Any new addition is a very good thing, sooner or later we will see all the rest show up. In the mean time, there is still IL-2, Rise of Flight, ect.

and /salute to Bearcat and all the rest of you I remember from the Ubizoo forums. Good to see you guys!

/lurk mode on......

Megahurt 01-27-2012 12:01 PM

still no decent allied bomber
 
Couldnt we get a B17 lent to Russia or an A20? P47 with rockets? Why we have to be limited to this ugly Blenheim with no bombsight is beyond me.

Boggles the mind and depresses the soul.

How do you think the Blenheim crews felt about it?
