Friday 2010-12-03 Dev. update and Discussion

[Letum]

Thank you again Oleg.
Will there be a winter map with this release?

[Upthair]

An idea about the image below. In the "Action" slot, things like "Tight horizontal Turn", "Barrel Roll", etc, can perhaps be added for AI pilots. AI planes performing these manoeuvres endlessly can help us practise gunnery against online opponents.

Airfields are listed as objects?

Does this mean we can turn on or off airfields and if so, what is added/removed?

IL-2 all airfields were always on the map, but objects not so (to be added in editor).

Does turning on/off airfields remove the actual airfield or just make it easier to add/remove the airfield objects (hangars, anti-air guns, lights, control towers, etc.)?

Also, assigning callsigns is great change. Will it be easy to add our own selectable ones? (record file, add to directory, upload on mission join, etc.)

I just want to know one thing. With the weather slider will it be possible to set up a class 5 hurricane in the channel maybe a couple of tornados on the side.

Well, I figure after a few months I will perhaps know what I'm doing....
Na...that's dreaming.
Extensive settings!......good thing I have been saving up for all these years for a new computer.

[Former_Older]

Looks like a fairly good selection of options so far

I know this is WIP.

Will we have option to set damage on aircraft?

[choctaw111]

Wow! Loads of great settings in there.
Thanks for this informative look into the mission builder.

[Bastor1981]

Looks like great news!

Although I have rather little experience with the FMB I immediately spotted some features that I was missing in the Il-2 FMB and some I didn't even know I might miss
(The interpolate alt/spd options haven`t been around in Il-2, or have they?, +weathering, +weather conditions, +apparently much more precise fuel/loadout options, +,+,+)

What intrigued me most, however, was the ammo belt option - can you tell us to what degree it will be possible to manipulate this as mission builder/player?

In any case: thanks a lot for the update, Oleg!

[bf-110]

You can customize airplane!Cool!
Also,the FMB looks quite the same of IL2.The classic design.

What those white airplanes in circles mean?

Oh, wow... well, that map makes me wonder what the coast of Normandy/Brittany would look like, lots of cliffs for the latter?

Love the number of options
