Greetings all,

How`s Cliffs of Dover? Should i get my trusty FFB2 outta the box?

Not yet Ivan.

Good to see you mate!!!

It's still not the overall experience we remember from the days when Hyperlobby was full every night of the week. Multiplayer is pretty sparse, and will be till Jiri gets HL support for CoD. And before the Steam fanboys start a hate campaign, I know a lot of guys that will not fly this sim till Hyperlobby support is available for it. And that is beyond all the current issues of under-development.

Ivan, I have the thing, and so much of it is really, really, jaw droppingly good.
The aircraft models, cockpits, DMs, engine management, and overall feeling of flight are so much better than the old sim. In fact it's hard to play 1946 anymore as it just seems like a toy now. It's almost totally changed my flying style. However, the down side is that I don't fly much anymore because of the rest of the new sim really needs to be finished, too many things still need to be sorted out yet.

I wish Oleg would come back and give this project some needed direction and leadership.

Anyhow, I'll talk to you later Ivan.

Cheers.

That's very much the case, in a nutshell.

I have no complaints at all.

If your system is not yet up to it, it will be so in time. You don't HAVE to buy it yet.

Without any doubt, it's the future of flight sims. Oleg has left the hangar, but his devotion, skill and style are all over it.

il2 1946 has given birth to a worthy successor. That's what Pedigrees do.

And I can't stop taking screenies!!! Aaaaaaaargh....I need help!!

Best Regards,
MB_Avro.

Hi Crazy Ivan !

Welcome back, it has been a loooong time!
Game detail is amazing

, complexity as well

Performance issues are there. Probably the after.next generation of GPUs will be able to handle this game.

SLI (and probably Crossfire) not there where they are supposed to be.

As far as hardware goes, the SWFFB2 will do a good job but you need to add a good throttle and a couple of "sliders" two (Saitek Throttle Quadrants).

Intel i7 equivalent + Win7 64bit a must

~S~

Is there really going to be a HL for CoD? Bad idea! Thats going to split up an already small group of gamers in MP. Whats wrong with just the in-game system?

The current in game "lobby" sucks IMHO.

And why are there two of them?

"Client" and "Lobby"? Makes no sense.

Hyperlobby is a low footprint application that just works. Most of the online community is used to it, and feels good about it.

Given the choice between the clunky in game/steam "lobby" and Hyperlobby, I'm going with Jiri's application.

Steam is going to be a headache moving forward as we get working skins as well.

well, next patch should "streamline multiplayer GUI" perhaps that includes server selection. Don't know, but yes, Lobby and client seems pretty useless!? At least I don't get the difference really. The one has many servers, the other one don't

Some names I haven't seen for quite a while in here, nice

Crazy, have a look at some vids I did with CoD... - They basically show how it is atm.
