Are you kidding???

I can read "Stellungsanzeige" i think you have to clean your glasses instead to search for nonexisting faults.

By the way, i wonder how long it will takes until the release. Since months the community gets thrown a couple of pictures ever week. I could not realize much movement in the developement. No Sounds, no videos, nothing to to say something about a soon release.

It is the same as every year, sadly. The promises of Oleg, that the playing community will have thousands of players until Oktober 2010 is not come true, once again.

I've read the same. Just compare t and the l. It really looks like Stetlungsanzeige:

yes you are right, must be "Stellungsanzeige"

IT IS "Stellungsanzeige"!

The grid pattern in the instrument has no good quality in this enlargement.

Mr. Maddox, I've posted these questions before, so I hope you only missed them.

- Is surround gaming (3 screens) being taken into account in development? Flexible FoV? Or will there be an option for users wit 3 screens, to render the view through 3 viewports, like it was done in the racing simulation rFactor?

- Will it be possible to use real DeviceLink cockpit dials in MP? As a way to avoid what could be considered cheating by others, the dials which are destroyed in the game, the real cockpit dials get deactivated through DeviceLink (data output = 0).

- Will we see raindrops on the windscreen, like in the original IL2 demo?

- Will we see rivets on the wing and would they be bump- or normal-mapped?

Thank you.

BoB is working with 3 screens. This is option of video cards now.

Device link will be added later. It will work online. How it will be working in terms of cheating I don't know yet.

In demo of Il-2 there wasn't rain drops on widescreen

rivets on the wings or anywhere on the external view are present where they should. They are drawn and bumpmapped.
If to make them all in 3D this will decrease completely FPS.

S!

Oleg, just one question: AMD Radeon + SoW = compatible? I am looking at the new 6900-series to replace my room heater nVidia ;) Domian: no matter how you spin the pic, it says Stetlungsanzeige instead of Stellungsanzeige.

I have been drooling over the Bf109E cockpit over the last days and I think my tax refund is going to the new computer :D

No time to find where it is, will answer here for the clear undrstanding

Clickable cocpits.

1. We are not doing completely clickable cockpits. There isn't any button or switch is clickable. We program only these that are using in flight. We don't program all that are using for only the start procedure. And will not use in future. Too much work for a lot of types of cocpits and a lot of functions different from one plane to another.

2. We did popup tips for each gauge or lever, knob, switch that is using in our code for control of aircraft, canopy, etc.

3. We make clickable by mouse these that are useful with the mouse by clicks or clicks+moving (see also item 1). Or will help some third party to program own code with explanation of principles.

All these functions are useful for different devices as well.
If there in future after the release we will find that some devices are not useful, but popular on the market - we may think about addition of other style of control for something.

Oleg, how will smashed/cracked canopy glass be modelled? If a crack appears due to damage, will it spread and cause various bits of glass to break away?

Oh man, thats bad :(
