Well i've wrote this with a bit of a strong point .. to wake up some and I agree... quite a bit shocking isn't it..
To say it's lame well this is a matter of opinion.
The forum was filled with request to fix and redesign textures, cockpits etc..
But we always got an answer that it was impossible .. time.. etc..
Even some really false answers, we also have some maps designer telling that they did the maps quick, rushed and that the engine was very limited .. basicly blaming themself of how bad the engine was.
For Oleg i agree he did what many wouldn't do and we are thanksfull for it , The programmers did a fantastic job with this limited physical engine we are agree but here is what i see the problem it's on the design team, textures etc.. I agree that to have a close sim saved Il2 of destruction but i see also a very good wish from Moders that want just to fix re-textures and maps.. This add so much more to this old sim and suddenly look so much better the last Slovakia map is a typical example of a very well done designed map.
I really suggest Oleg to go into this forum of moder or even contact them to take the best of their works and add it into a new release of 4.09.. why not .. it is so worth it.
Oleg can receive all the help he can get , ask and receive on an heart beat .
Like i say above the moder did what was suppose to be impossible and it is outstanding and Oleg should really take advantage of this for the good of all of us and close the sim for BOB..
But remember guys i love you all .. we are a last breed even Yvan
