Oleg Maddox's Room #1

[Avimimus]

Thanks Oleg, (you finally did it, you finally modeled grass like you once talked about doing someday!) Congratulations!

Thanks Evgeny, the answers thread is a good idea (if you want me to compile past answers let me know).

Re: Flightsim conference, we should find a way to offer them a free holiday...

Thank you for the answers:

"a) Different people would have blindness for different time. Try to use yourself the light source in a almost dark room that to get the answer. Try with your friend. But don’t use too power light of camera flash for such experiments!"

This looks like a perfect place to use the capabilities of the new variation between individual AI in their capabilities doesn't it?

Thanks for the Update Oleg! I have a question concerning the damage model: If one of the parts shown on the pictures is hit, will it definitively be damaged or is a probability function used to determine the damage done.

For example:

Compressor is hit by a machine gun bullet:
In 50% of the cases the bullet bounces of and nothing happens,
in 10% of the cases the compressor will be damaged but still works with decreased performance and in all other cases the compressor will be completely damaged.

could we have some indication of release.. I am not talking about date here... I am talking about Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 -08.... or even -09?

For a project this size I gather there must be some kind of projectplan/schedule?

[Tbag]

Oleg said somewhere here that he might be able to give system specs by summer. So Q1 and Q2 are out of the question I'd say.

thank you Mr. Maddox for up date

Honestly I am not a friend of that suggestion, Kurfürst. IMO the preset loadouts are the best way - both from a historical and technical POV. I mean it's not like flying a Bf 109 G-6/R6 one day and have the techs reconfigure it into a G-6/U4 ten minutes before take-off. That wouldn't work in reality and so it shouldn't in game, either.
What should be done instead is giving more care to the selection of historically relevant loadouts - there simply shouldn't be loadouts which weren't used in combat (e.g. Mk108 gondolas on the 109s, Mk 103 gondolas on late 190s or 2 SC2000 on Ju 88 ). A broad range of loadouts is available for almost any plane. That should be sufficient.
