Friday update and discussions 2011-02-25

I think things are looking pretty good... I'm not to worried about the pilot size and stuff like that...I'm much more interested in flight models and damage models. Personally I feel good about the future of "air combat simming"...and I'm seeing some really great "gaming details" in these up-dates. Its nice to see that Oleg doesn't get hung up on all the bul! $h*t that fly's around these forums. I'm glad to see that he is sticking to his vision of the game. Honestly, I'm really impressed by the attention to "historical detail" that some of our fellow forum members have. But the vision and focus of this sim would get watered down if Oleg spent all his time chasing down every little complaint people have...It would be great if this sim was as accurate as real life, but I'm I realist.

"We are about to embark upon a great adventure, toward which we have waited these many years. The eyes of the community are upon Oleg and crew. The hopes and prayers of "Flight combat" loving people everywhere will be answered soon. In company with the community and fellow internet fliers, we will bring about the destruction of mediocre gaming, the elimination of boredom and the opportunity to experience "historical air combat" that is as realistic as possible."

p.s. I'm sorry if anyone finds my parody to be in bad taste.

The reason: The planes look totally out of scale and too big if the pilot appears to be too small.

It ends up looking like one of those awful Hollywood mock-ups from a film set.

Exactly! The best comment yet on the importance of pilot scale (and the only issue I've had with the previews to date)!

It won't matter in flying sequences but any close-up will show the scale disproportion.

Well said, major!

Well you're totally right Major...
But I guess the issue is well known to 1C now... after all the fuss about it. People made their point and it's clear, no need to bring it up over and over again. It will be fixed some day in the near future, be sure. I for one have total confidence in Oleg and his crew or any modder/3rd party for that matter.

Some are just too hysterical about it... (just my 2 cts)

I have heard that before.


People don't make a noise...nothing gets done.
