Towns or villages should have a tight concentration of houses arranged in terraces around a market square or road junction not, as we see in the videos, each house surrounded by its own plot.

Terrain colouring is so far off it almost looks like they've done it on purpose.

Yours frustratedly.

I think if to make all you want - like in real life on a lrage space and with great detail - than you should wait more years for the more stronger hardware... At least.

I'm just happy that it's just 3 weeks until we get to play this game!

Oleg, will we have a good AI com' interface when we play with/against AI, in order to be able, for instance, to tell : "3 and 4, stay with our bombers while 2 and me are attacking another formation ?" That was really lacking in Il-2..

Love the music selection. Thanks for this update.

IIRC you could do that in IL2. Maybe not for individual two ship flights, but certainly for Red, Blue etc.

Yes, but individual orders were lacking.

Thanks for the update Oleg...

I've never been to Biggin Hill like most of us here. What I see is good enough for me... and 99% of the people who will be using BOB COD.

So, don't sweat the techni-phobics who can mess up anyone's nice day.

I love it, we are going to be enjoying the COD very soon.

Oleg,

I don't think you have yet answered this question.
Will there be 1st person bail out in Cliffs of Dover.

Thanks for the update.



P.S Where can I get the music from the vids and more from these artists?

I might be mistaken, but i'm pretty sure the answer is no, because it was answered long time ago, that its not possible because it would require rendering the cockpit and the outside plane (the one you are flying) at the same time, incresing enormously the ammount of polys. Lot of people asked for 1st person bail out, and 1st person climb inside the plane.
On DCS forum, for "Black Shark" and "A-10 Warthog" the same thing was requested but it was said it was impossible for the same reason.

Still, it would be very cool to have 1st person bail out!

Genuinely laughing out loud. Thx for that Monty Python clip, nearmiss. Good chuckle to start the day and spot on for this forum. Interesting that only one on my ignore list has posted so far.

Oleg, Luthier and Team thank you for the 8 years of fun in that dream world you created: IL-2 and today's little peek at our future dreamworld is like seeing a glimpse of heaven for this old simulator fanboy.
