Graphics engine from original IL2 utilised in CloD. So what hope for BoM?

The CloD is definitely not a new engine, rather it is based on IL-2. For anyone with a pair of eyes or common sense, this is completely obvious.

There are many identifiable elements from the IL-2 series visible in CloD.

Please cite some examples.

Real identifiable ones.

Yep, I'd like some examples as well, I played 1946 a LOT and I've played COD quiet a bit and I don't see ANYTHING from 1946 in the graphics engine, features yes but actual graphics components nope, I think your confusing the 2 things.
They were always going to use features from 1946 to build on, it's a great game so it'd make sense to use it feature wise as a base for COD.

Also it's been stated many times that it is in fact a completely new engine, maybe you missed that stuff or you weren't around then I don't know.

If it wasn't a new game engine maybe you could explain why its taken so long to release a Battle of Britain sim.

"many identifiable elements" like planes, clouds, trees, cities, tanks... yes, you are right, there are many of them.

One example is the console. Same commands, same functionality. The layout of the conf.ini looks very similiar, too.

So I think the sim has inherited some technical concepts of IL2:1946.

Thanks for stating the obvious genius. If they have something working and are used to having such commands and .ini layouts why would they create something new. To confuse themselves? To make their work harder? If you are such an expert why don't you try to suggest something better.

It's funny when people who know absolutely nothing about computer programming start to comment on the way the game was coded.

Pretty sure right there is the definition of internet forums

I can't be bothered to read the entire thread, so I don't know if this has been said yet, but I just want to comment that you, Puma are doing nothing but trolling.

I have come to expect better from you, but I guess that is my own failing.
