Oleg's Russian Interview Translated

|ZUTI| · #1 03-04-2009, 09:47 AM

If they manage to pull this off.... i have nothing to say. Engine that could be used for all of the scenarios Oleg mentioned... speechless, really.

Oh, but i do know of one FS with far better AI that from what IL2 has

This is the best interview that I have read to date, very little dodgeing and weaving. Every answer full of information for the future of SOW. The 60% content vs. time statement is reassuring to me. I think SOW will be bigger that FS, and in much much less time.

Nice article. I find this quote interesting:

"All the (veteran) pilots do agree on one other thing, that a table-mounted joystick feels very different from a floor-mounted control stick."

That's exactly why I started building a simpit. I don't really want to build a huge cockpit in my room, but it was the only way to implement a proper floor-mounted stick.

And this:
"The same will be the case with BoB. We won’t balance anything to keep the sides equal online. Anyway, it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. You win by working together in a group, using superior tactics, and knowing your plane’s capabilities."

Very well said!

Don' know how you can stand all the remarks people make. I put my JS, Pedals, Throttle, Headset and tracker in the cabinet when I'm not using them.

It is common practice for my wife to show friends around the house, and my office is not off-limits in her little escapades.

My wife chortles 'giggles noisily" when she trys to explain to other persons of her ilk (non-simmers)that I fly the computer with that stuff. You'd be surprised at the response of people. They do strange things like...roll their eyes, turn-a-way shaking their head. They also make that noise where they press their tongue on the back of their upper front teeth and suck their tongue and make a little tsk tsk sound.

I just put my stuff (the good stuff) in a cabinet, until I'm ready to do some damage to my little neighbors (the AI or online enemy).

Hope everyone has a great day. It was excellent getting a good update from Oleg... Ahhhh! nowfor another cup o' coffee.

Just about everyone that has ever been in my house thinks I am bonkers.

Oleg is on target. This IL2 raised my awareness for the first time about the Soviet airwar. Americans have been in information blackout on Russia and still are for the most part. I have bought up every Russian air war book I found for these past years.

Hope everyone has a great day. It was excellent getting a good update from Oleg... Ahhhh! nowfor another cup o' coffee.

LOL! I have to admit that is the reason why I made it compact and modular, so I can take it apart very quickly without any tools. However, I have it set up on the second floor and we don't get many visitors there
