1C is the publisher for Russia only. They do not have resources for an international English speaking community manager. UBI is a publisher for the rest of the world. Please feel free to ask this question at UBI forums, you paid them for this (if this is included in user agreement your agreed with).

This 1C international forum and anything the devs post on it is a free complement and nothing more then goodwill. You are lucky luthier speaks English otherwise all information would come from Russian speaking community members only. He may opt for posting here not more often than once in 2-3 months and it would be fine.

Please do not say on behalf of everyone. Only certain type of people "are pretty much fed up", not all of them.

1. I have no business with the publisher because I have no problem with the way the game is published. All I want is to communicate with the developers.

2. If the developers wants to sell their product outside of Russia they better damn well make sure they have someone speaking English to satisfy these customers. That has NOTHING to do with goodwill. IF that would be the case they need a reality check.

3. If he would start to only post once in 2-3 month you can be sure that he can write a similar future like IL-2's in the wind.

4. I never said I spoke on the behalf of the entire community, learn to read.

What is in that box? It looks like one of those cheap Logitech joysticks you can buy anywhere for $20, but there's an IL-2 logo on the box. I'm very very intrigued.

Looks like it's sitting on TOP of the joystick box. Two different boxes. One joystick, the other IL2. I can see a clear delineation.

Yeah, a closer look makes me think you're right. I wondered if they were planning on selling the game packaged with a cheap joystick to make it a little more accessible to the average gamer.

You got the main sound man from Rise of Flight? Now that is probably the most interesting thing I've heard in regards to Cliffs of Dover for a while. No wonder work is progressingly quickly with that, he would be quite experienced!

I hold Rise of Flight in high regard for its high quality, realistic sound. It is very well done, to the point that if you lean outside of the cockpit you can hear the air suddenly hit you. Or when you turn sharply you can hear the air buffeting over the wings. It is a huge addition to the immersion in that game.

If we got the same level of effects and quality in Cliffs of Dover, it would be a huge positive step forward in terms of immersion and overall feel of quality for the game.

I have noticed lately in the forum that things have been a bit sceptical about the flight sim's future.

Your post introducing us all to the team is a good 'moral booster' for all of us Luthier. Keep working away, you will get there.

I am especially pleased to see your new sound engineer with some 'heavy duty' hardware on his desk.

I am 'chipping away' with FMB, discovering something new everyday. Get 'Gennady in the darkest corner of the office' to immediately start working on it, to release it in full very soon!

Gennady.


No one knows what he does.

Maybe that's all that's left of him? His head sits on a spike. He is the reminder of what will happen if the rest of the team don't fix the bugs. Luthier sits sharpening his axe instead of squeezing a stress ball

Its a Thrustmaster.. one of my favorite joystick.. they also made a FORCE FEEDBACK version of the same thing and it was one of my favorite force feedback sticks. Sadly they dont produce it no more. The one he as is the non force feedback version. There is a logo of IL2 on the box because IL2 recommended that stick back in the day and was listing games compatible.

Oh how i miss that stick. It came with a detachable throttle lever as you can see on the left barely. The rudder control on it was the best also not including real rudder pedals of course. But it was a anagol lever that you could move left and right with your left and on the throttle lever. IT WAS AWESOME. I gotta grab another off of ebay.

I had it, the worst stick ever tried.

Joystick in the box is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro;



I havn't had any experience with logitech joysticks, but that other stick on the desk is a Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro, the pre-cursor to the T.Flight X. I owned the Top Gun, and I currently own the T.Flight X and I can say they're both excellent joysticks for the price you pay;
