In the TOP STICKY threads that directly relate to SOW, IL2 and TD updates "ON TOPIC discussions" are all that will be allowed. The threads will be vigorously moderated. We want to continue to provide the developers with viable, constructive comments and responses in the Sticky threads.

The NON-STICKY threads will now allow constructive and sensible discussions that relate to AIR COMBAT, AIR COMBAT SIMULATION AND FLIGHT SIMULATION, not just IL2, SOW or TD.

Discussions about MODS or links to MODS is still prohibited content on the forums.

All the rules and regulations of the forums still apply.

You haven't seen a single row of the real IL-2 source code with comments, clear variable names, clear constant names instead of some random numbers, etc... You've only seen decompiled code which looses much of the info that is important to coder and makes it easy to read & understand. Even something as trivial as bullet caliber value in weapons classes is still complete mystery to modders. Because they can only see the final value, not the formula how it's calculated. So they call the original values wrong and change them.

I find the real source code very clear.

Im really bumped about the troubles with releasing the templates for the skins.

Would it be possible to make some sort of "skin viewer" (a simple 3d viewer aplication where we can see the texture on the 3d model)?
It may be too time consuming tho. It has to come with the 3d models of the planes and possibly lighting engine.

Anyway you guys know better what you can do and what you can't.

Of course it does look like that. That's because it's the way things are done in a development team. Every coder has his own style, and that's exactly why the code is COMMENTED. Those comments are there so that one coder can carry on from where the last one left off.

@AED

Pleas mind your manners. People wouldn't get angry with you, if you were posting in a more "grown up" way.

My, my, everyone's feisty this week. Seems to be 3 different arguments going on at once

Entertaining though

How is this game going to be distributed?
