DD_Arthur Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Got this today I see a couple of other members of the Dogz did too. Quote
DD_Brando Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I got a flashy box and a piece of cheap cotton with a "map" printed on it, an aircraft manual (not!), and a game that basically didn't work, then or ever. I paid nearly £50 quid for it - in a spirit of support for the guys who had set the whole IL-2 series in motion - and got zip, nada, sweet FA. They didn't actually post me a turd, but the smell of bull's droppings still lingers. Not dissing the supporters - but I won't be fronting up any more money in that direction. brando Quote
Crash Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I understand Brando, I bought the box as well. However the 2 new games ARE different as 777 and DCS are both involved. Jason and Loft are doing a great job communicating what it happening, and although Luthier has previous, with The Fighter Collection/Eagle Dynamics doing quality control I feel that we should get 2 excellent sims by this time next year.

Snacko Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Exactly what 'extra' do you get for buying in early that you won't get if you buy when it's released? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted September 15, 2013 2. Administrators Posted September 15, 2013 Think there's additional aircraft & some additional weapons snacko Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote
BadAim Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 You definitely gave me a LOL moment Brando. What's the old saying? "Fool me onece shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". It sure does seem different this time though. Quote
DD_Brando Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I'm glad I made you laugh, BA, 'cos I'm not coming from a place of hatred or blind rage - you know me I guess my message is "wake up and smell the manure", because historical accuracy is being sacrificed already, in favour of maximising income. And I realise that's a good thing if it means a good sim would be forthcoming - but I'm not sure that BoS will achieve that status. To me the ditching of co-op play is like the old saying about "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" Co-op is a format that works very well both at squad level or for random 'Hyperlobby hitch-hiking'. It brings individuals into line with a simple formula. Choose your plane, join a flight, carry out your objectives, make it home. I hear the negatives - "long time to form up, crashes on take-off, host loses connection, et cetera - and I wish they had grasped the nettle and sorted the problems rather than doing a hot potato job. As mentioned, the FMB as in RoF is very unwieldy to use. Maybe that is OK for the WW1 period where radio comm was virtually non-existent - but I don't think it will work for WW2 Squad ops. Anyway, enough playing devil's advocate for today cyl mates Quote
DD_Arthur Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 From todays short development update on the BoS forum. It's looking good. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 5, 2013 2. Administrators Posted October 5, 2013 OK, I give in, I've pushed the pre order button now. Looking forward to getting a preview of this. Interestingly, I see that instead of getting a box with a tea towel in it, I now get a little yellow jpg. Wtg jabo. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote

Crash Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 You guys going for the DCS as well? Looks like they have enough donations for the Me-262 so its going to get complicated Quote
Snacko Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I went for the DCS WW2 pre-order. So we can compare the two sims. In about a month the DCS backers should get access to their EDGE Map building tool. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Tapatalk 4. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 6, 2013 2. Administrators Posted October 6, 2013 I'm considering supporting DCS too, but not flush enough to do both in the same month so will hold off until November. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote
Crash Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 News from Zac Before 19 November we'll announce the start of early access + some other news later this week in the dev blog update. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 16, 2013 2. Administrators Posted October 16, 2013 Early access! Huzzah! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote
DD_Arthur Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Great stuff. Right on schedule. One of the BoS forum members has made a rather neat montage of the pre-alpha footage released so far; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUNNHF8VPDA&feature=player_embedded#t=0 Also, if all goes well, Team Fusion will be releasing their 4.0 patch for CoD this Friday. We have a lot to look forward to! Quote

2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 25, 2013 2. Administrators Posted October 25, 2013 I see the moaning has started in the responses to today's dev blog. There's just no pleasing some people. I'm pretty happy though - roll on alpha access! Jabo P.S. Holy cow - access to start on the 7th November? Two weeks - be sure! Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Because I don't have the pre-requisite personality bypass to be in the BoS forums I am enjoying a 7 day ban. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 P.S. Holy cow - access to start on the 7th November? Two weeks - be sure! Really? I thought the pre-order period finished on the eleventh of November and early access would start a few days after that. Edit; Lol, Bongo. You'll just have to fly some CoD with us now. Quote
DD_Bongodriver Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I should do some flying again soon, since my trackir broke I have had to start using and getting used to these facetrack things, I'm kind of impressed to be honest, it does work, even better news is that apparently I may be able to use my occulus to play IL2 soon through a 3rd party driver.....should work on clod too and dcs......literally creaming my undies.

DD_Arthur Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I am now sporting a woodie! ......literally creaming my undies. Sorry, still flaccid over here but I think I detect a trend. How are you feeling, Crash? Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted October 26, 2013 2. Administrators Posted October 26, 2013 Because I don't have the pre-requisite personality bypass to be in the BoS forums I am enjoying a 7 day ban. I cant stand the BoS forums. Never has a forum been filled with so many cocks. 1 Quote
Crash Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I am now sporting a woodie! ......literally creaming my undies. Sorry, still flaccid over here but I think I detect a trend. How are you feeling, Crash? Quite mellow and relaxed. I have a feeling that I wont be doing too much testing, what with DD Co-ops Tuesday, TV evening Wednesday and the Thursday night binge drinking However as I no long have to go to work I might be able to fly a bit in the afternoons after I have done a few jobs about the house.
