1. Yes. More detailed when will be ready.

2. If you mean the problem on ailerons of Spitfire before and including initial series of MK V due to rodation of the wing relatively aileron - Yes we plan it. Wing twist - visually separate of each console - not.

On this week we are starting the development of new separate website for SoW series...
When ready - don't know. But I plan there forum as well. As a main forum.

Great to see you here Oleg,


May we NOT include these two things in SOW BOB

1. Elevator Trim on a slider facility or any quick trim change. Also flaps on a slider if not historically correct eg Spit ( by the way I mostly fly the spit)

2. Sonic radar. when plane you are attacking can hear you from a long way away and evade.

These two game "exploits" harm online play in my opinion

I know you are busy , but I think we are all very pleased you are able to spend some time here, thank you.

1. Initially in Il-2 it was possible, but then a lot players that haven't such sliders on their home controller begun to sign a song that they are cheaters... That to make fair gameplay we did protection in a code for this feature that to make for all the speed of changes equal.

2. In Il-2 the sound engine was designed for HiEnd sound cards. It was so different sounding on Hi End and on regular cards.... On simple motherboard cards of some producers the panning was so simple, that we was unable to control it or regulate the distance... and some people begun to use it... In BoB we will have completely new sound engine that will not depending of type of sound card. We simply did own panning code, etc...

Also how to limit the ability of player to make louder his speakers... still don't know This will be the only one limit I know in a new sim...

Hi Oleg

In online wars we have the "rescue" type of missions, where someone lands close to a bailed-out pilot and "rescues" him.

Is there any chance you simulate this in a better way?

An idea would be that only planes that can carry extra pilot(s) to land near the bailed-out pilot(s) and by pressing some button to start the rescue procedure (that will last some time, according to the distance in between the plane and the pilot). Imagine a timer showing the countdown to the rescue, both to the rescuer and the bailed pilot. This should make them both sweat

Cheers!

And secondly please can you include this feature in SOW.

Ability to do instrument approaches. for bad weather.

For basic IFR aircraft (VDF) voice direction finding. Man in tower gives you direction of you planes from his radio station. we could design our own approach charts and would need the airport elevation , or a QFE altimeter setting.

For later planes a working ADF/NDB guage, needle- would need radio navigation beacons on maps

Later for the SOW KOREA -- ILS , DME and TACAN beacons and maybe PAR precision approach radar-- full talk down by airfield radar operator to 200 feet or 70 meters


Thanks Oleg

Having discussed this with a few friends who all fly online (ADW, Warbirds of prey etc.) we were wondering whether the map size would be historic?
Will the map be one large one stretching along the entire occupied territories including the Channel and the Atlantic?
Or will it be made up of smaller segments?
This would have specific impact for online play as flying 30-40 minutes over the channel without contact could create a boredom factor. This is especially true in the more airquake arena of play!

So my question is will the maps be scaleable for online play?

And the reverse of the same question, will they be realistic for off-line play and for those online enthusiasts who for the sake of realism will be willing to fly those extra 20 to 30 minutes?

Again with online wars (A classic example, that is in no way perfect is ADW) in mind how much development is going into a possible online Battle of Britain with related stats and other goodies?
