Oleg Maddox's Room #1

Bobb4 is correct.

I am now publisher of SoW.

That is a fact, because there is no instant protest from 1C or admins.

I am also ruler of the world. This has been established in many threads as no world-admin has protested. The silence from all other wanna-be-world-leaders over the last years also confirms that, so there can't be any doubts left.


@ Daiichidoku

You forgot the word "again" in "would like ask Oleg"

Well I have to say you are doing a sh*te job then! Release some updates for Gods sake!
What the hells wrong with you? Are you insane? We want news Feurfalke!

[Feuerfalke]

Nah.

I have 243 Screenshots and the finished game on my PC. Maybe I'll release a short movie before christmas, if I find the time, or I give Oleg the permission to do so. Poor guy - he drops me 2 emails per day, asking me to publish the news that BoB was finished 6 month ago, but I just don't let him. That's just so much fun.

And currently I'm just enjoying to read the forums and read comments about people who really, really are not going to buy my game.

And when I release that movie, they'll give their firstborn just to fly for 5 minutes. LOL

Good for you Feurfalke ,you tell the ungrateful rats who have the temerity to ask for updates!
It is good isn't it,I only tried the early alpha version with Oleg and Ilya at Birmingham,but I reckon with a bit of work it will be nearly as good as il2 modded.

[Feuerfalke]

Well, the modded IL2 is better, of course - well, at least the bunch of guys I pay on this forum will keep telling you. You got the mods, I'll keep the game.

You know, as long as Oleg hoped to release the game officially, he had to ban the mods, of course, but now I have the game and everybody else is enjoying the mods, there's no need for that any longer.

You're happy, I am happy, so what?

In SOW, how will muzzle flash be represented? Will it be more realistic? It seems that how it is represented in game now is a bit exagerated (too much like a flame thrower). From period gun footage (or even modern high caliber gun fire footage) it would seem that yes, there is sometimes visible flames, but really they are much more subtle in real life, and in daylight are mostly just puffs of smoke.

Also will the tracer contrail be a bit more realistic (or the graphics more detailed) as well?

You should get a reply within the next 2 weeks.

muzzle flash... Video and especially film camera can't register on their 24 (and in WWII often 10 to 16) frams per second many of light changes that happens when the gun fires... As well as the specific of sencitivity of film and its dynamic rage that can't registed fire as we can see in real life.
So in Il-2 it was done in the last versions more real than you think...
And I haven't seen yet in a sim more real tracers... If you mean color - they are all by a tracer specifications docs of WWII shells/bullets for each country that we modelled.

At night the fire/flash leight of 20 mm cannon could be even more than 2 meters...
At day it is the same but visible less and even more less on the film (in short words).
At flight it depending of speed... But anyway it is present. The differences of leight we plan to model in flight and on the ground, at day and at night.
The difference at the day/night time was done in Il-2 for the for the first time in the world in game industry. Try yourself to check it....
