Friday 2010-11-12 Dev. update and Discussion

[philip.ed]

The start of the Stuka video shows an image different to the video (in terms of colour) Any input? It looks beautiful, but I'm confused as to whether it's due to saturation or time of day.

Hope my question is not too much off topic.

We have already seen that water and ships are of very hogh quality and I was wondering if U boots were present in BoB. If yes, will they be able to go under immersion ?

[philip.ed]

Redwan, a few of the videos from the show in Russia showed planes that, upon crashing into the sea, went under-water; so this must be possible
It was, for me, one of the stand-out features, and something that I've never seen before in a flight-sim.

THe promo trailer is simply epic!
The big capital text "NEW WWII COMBAT SIMULATION" and "FROM THE CREATORS OF AWARD-WINNING IL-2 STURMOVIK" with spitfires flying behind it was...man....can make you cry.

Thanks for the civil discussion guys. It didn't snowball as badly as I feared it might.

Actually no Necro you've just done the very thing you accuse Freycinet of in what can only be construed as a pretty vigorous personal attack on another forum member. And as for keeping it civil, I wouldn't congratulate yourself too quickly

The truth is this topic has been done to death again and again on this forum and elsewhere. Oleg himself has made 1C's position clear, and requested in the past that members refrain from discussing it further. Skoshi Tiger and Brando both raise good points. There are very valid reasons for not using the symbol in a game, objectively and legally.

- and it seems to have escaped the attention of most here that one of the development has team hinted, quite strongly, there just might be room to personalise the players gaming experience to their hearts content

Odd that you'd want to defend a member that has repeatedly proven to be needlessly rude and boorish, even in this very thread. I think anyone who actually was part of the discussion conducted themselves in a civil way. Maybe you should go back and read before you offer an opinion. Nothing I said was untrue.

Yes, we all know the swastika debate has been done to death. That is no revelation. Like Freycinet, if you bothered to read what was being discussed originally, it was the matter of whether or not markings can be added by 3rd party individuals. This has nothing to do with whether or not the swastika will be a default marking. I understand it won't be and said so repeatedly. As you say, there has been indication that personal markings can indeed be added and that was all I needed to know. As far as I'm concerned the matter is closed.

I don't think it will be released before Christmas. February/March has been suggested as a possible date (I can't remember who said that). So some time after that, I would think.

It was 1C-SoftClub, the russian publisher, who said spring 2011.
