DoubleTap Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Maybe you should consider those that wish to make movies. Quote
JensenPark Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 It would be neat if the doors are there for bailing out - you actually see yourself (or your view) opening a door to climb out... I hope they are there for a 'proper' reason. Quote

Mobius One Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 although the pics show mostly the shot of the side door. Quote

Cold_Gambler Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Since we're doing some rather wild speculation on some pics and info that doors open, I'll do some speculaiton too. I'm cautiously optimistic about the update, and happy about this small detail because it confirms a level of complexity that the previous pictures and information released has hinted at. The aircraft in BoB, and in particular the damage model, are going to be far less generic than they have in the past. Look at the pictures of the Hurricane and Mess models released, the first thing I noticed was that every spar, longeron, and system was depicted and depicted in a different colour. If they are modelling the INTERNALS of the aircraft, it's for a reason... I'm looking forward to hydraulic gear that droop down when the oleo is hit and oil is leaking out, electrical systems that go down when the battery is destroyed etc... and I see the "useless doors that open" as only one aspect of this. So I'm cautiously optimistic as I see this detail as confirming my hopes in this respect. Quote

BBloke Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I took "that position" because of an interview Oleg gave an IL2 flyer/movie maker in Birmingham at a sim exhibition. Quote

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted October 18, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 18, 2007 OK I'll be a little controversial here. I'm all for maximum detail, including opening doors and highly realistic ground objects. Agreed it has no bearing on the flight characteristics (with the exception of opening doors which may impact airflow and therefore aerodynamics) but it does have a direct impact on immersion. The fact that these details are a boon to movie makers is secondary, and may or may not be the intention of 1C:Maddox. To look out of one's cockpit and see a realistic landscape, swoop down and shoot the crap out of a moving ground object such as a tank or train, and see a well made damage model display the effect of your gun burst, has got to be a trip. Putting a burst into an aircraft and seeing a door drop open, knowing that that tells you a). your aim was good and . the aircraft you hit will now perform differently has also got to be a trip. And knowing that 1C:Maddox will put the same level of attention to detail in the flight model is good, take their time on release I say. It's worth the wait. And yes I'm also looking forward to seeing what the Machinima gang produce with it Quote

Blairgowrie Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Interesting. Oleg says we will get a drop down box to save IPs for coops or something like it (whatever that means). Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 27, 2007 2. Administrators Posted December 27, 2007 A link to some more info on BOB. No heavy bombers!!!!!!! >> ISTR all the german bombers in use during the BoB were classified as 'medium' anyway? >> Off to duck the flak... Jabo Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 27, 2007 2. Administrators Posted December 27, 2007 Back again - interesting that Oleg makes passing mention to BoB's follow-up "we plan other theater, which never was modeled yet well" - oooo North Africa - I'll go get the sunblock... Jabo P.S. Did I ever mention that my grandfather used to drive Montgomery's car? Quote
Cold_Gambler Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 P.S. Did I ever mention that my grandfather used to drive Montgomery's car? REALLY?? PLEASE post any pictures that your father might have and be willing to share! I know that I'm not the only one who would love to see them... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 28, 2007 2. Administrators Posted December 28, 2007 Hi C_G Regrettably, as my Grandfather passed away over 20 years ago now, the likelihood of my being able to find any photos of him either with the car or Monty or both are slim, but he told me himself of the time he spent chauffeuring Monty about during the lead up to D-Day. On a slightly related note, tomorrow is the anniversary of the loss of his brother (a Wellington pilot) during a raid in 1943 - he was 21 ~S~ Bill - I owe you Nick Quote
