Friday 2010-10-22 Dev. update and Discussion

First update with no mention of being WIP....

Very good job...Imagine when all this will be in motion...

Dear Oleg : would you say, at this stage , that you have reached you own expectations from your original goal regarding the developpement of SOW ?... Did you even surpassed them ?

Beautiful job !

SAlute !

Oleg,

Beautiful is the only word that comes to mind. Now that I can really get a sense of where your efforts are going...I say take as long as you need.

My personal vote would be to see the pilots wearing masks all the time. I believe that's the way the pilots were most of the time unless they were posing for pics.

Thanks for the update!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome

I don't want to be forced to use the mouse to operate the cockpit controls for everything though, I use a dual control set up and would rather map keys. I am sure this is configurable regardless.

I love that final shot, something to really fatally ram into one of Tree's orifices.

First update with no mention of being WIP....

It's a given - Oleg and his team are going to be working right up to "X-day" like they did with the original IL-2.

However, if I'm not mistaken, he's compiling a version to demonstrate at a tech show. They could sell the game now - but they are still tuning and de-bugging.

+1 I can't imagine the damage is operate with this beautiful realistic cockpit

Thanks for the update Oleg - the terrain shot is especially impressive.

I'm rendered utterly speechless, except for these heretical words:

Will you still be able to "disable the cockpit"?

Sorry I couldn't resist...(did someone beat me to the punch line?)

I get you Romanator... But it looks ( IMHO) that they are at a final stage of fixing possible 'mistakes' or " innacurate" details rather than finishing an incomplete design,(textures, layers, etc) at least regarding those cockpits... Oleg always reminds us of the WIP stage of all the updates he showed us...But not this time !And to me, it is good news

Salute !

After the glass gets broken will be be able to duct tape some clear plastic over the hole before the next mission??

Probably I'll never reach the bar that I want. Doesn't matter is it development of the sim, is it photography or is it any other thing that I'm doing. Its my nature. If I only would have millions and millions, probably I would spend them mostly to reach the next bar.

Dear Oleg, you really ARE an artist ! I have been in the recording business since 1984, and I can tell you that every time a great album gets out of the studio,it is very emotionnal cause we ( and the Band/singer) always feel we have not done the "perfect" project due to deadlines or budget limitations.
So I understand what you mean...After months/years of hard work,the hardest part is to " let go" and let your baby live on its own...Even if you know you could have done better...
BUt you have a big advantage ! You can do add-ons and patches !!!!
ANd it is a good thing you don't have those millions (yet), otherwise, SOW would be done in 2015 !

Great work Oleg !

Salute !

Yes, you told what I really mean about the perfect work that seems never be reached from my point of view and dreams.
These dreams usually are way greater than the users suggestions....
