I think originally, the "two weeks" anecdote started from Oleg Maddox, ten years ago may be, in his correspondence to the IL-2 fans waiting for the upcoming then "IL-2 Forgotten Battles", at the Ubisoft Forums...(Oleg Maddox's Ready Room)...

Speaking of Voss' family... I've found this beautifully colorized one, of Voss' mother and sisters meeting MvR:

Great Olham! I particularly like your own little touch

Thanks a lot, Lou...Great tip!

I've bookmarked the site, long ago. Thanks for the heads up, Olham! The only drawback is that all those, most interersting photos, are in small size format... or I'm missing something?

Ernst Udet's LO inscription, on the sides of his planes, from September '17, was dedicated to his, fiancee then and later wife, Eleanore Zink. But have you actually seen her before? I didn't... Greg vanWyngarden posted a picture of them both, at the 'drome today that I found most interesting. Here it is:

I've got the DVD, but thanks anyway.

Come on Mike... Here is MvR last claim form, ( he claims two Camels) with his signature for comparison...

Also found there, a very good one of the Albatros D.V prototype, still with Johannisthal style rudder and with experimental lozenge camo painted on. The wings were also covered in lozenge fabric with reinforcement ribbons of the same material! (quite uncommon for Albatros Werke Johannisthal)...

Wow, thanks!

There is a freeware, alternative image manager, called FXAA (SXAA for ATI cards), that may help a lot to improve FPS, in CloD and not only... I'm using it with RoF as a JSGME Mod and I have improved not only the overall image quality, but the frame rate also! My game used to lag in low alt multi a/c dogfighting in heavy weather...not any more. I haven't tried it in CloD yet, though... http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3484798/Alternative_to_Anti_Aliasing_F.html#Post3484798 BTW, here is the last masterpiece by Ph0b0s95, the creator of "Pulse", posted above, using CloD:

The De Havilland DH-89...

No surprize...

Somebody stop me! biltongbru, (Tinus de Roux), the creator of "Wellington", has made some remarkable pictures, combining sim with real life footage. Using CloD: Using IL-2 1946: Also check his You Tube channel to watch some great documentaries he has made, (interviews with WWII pilots with sim dramatised scenes included): http://www.youtube.com/user/biltongbru?feature=watch

If you mean the movie carrick posted, it's made with BoB2 Wings of Victory. Here are a couple of mor movies BoB related by Barfly: The first from 2009 using the modded old IL-2... And the other with CloD...

Two more CloD movies worth watching:

So does the modded version of IL-2... There was another one for the Taranto raid, but I couldn't find it...

I would be grateful if that fish-eye lens in externals could be addressed, at last... Please!

Yes, many of the things mentioned by Lima, have already been announced for P4. Others like self-shading may be limited by the core engine itself... It would have been cool if possible, though! What always bothered me in OFF was the sense of flight comparing to RoF, even so, in the P4 preview video, the flying seemed to be more fluid and realistic...

What Creaghorn described was historic and IMO too, the right way to go. ie selectable, attached on the historical spots, with historical colors. RoF team decided to attach a blue steamer to the port upper wing of every Central Forces FL plane, (sinister?) and to the starboard one of every Entente FL... Also to give a Hollywood style flapping scarf to the AI aces, then sell them to you in a variation of colors with a Colt to shoot'em up and called it "personal package" (sic)! Although the may look "cool" in game, I'm opposed to the essence of this concept!

Very interesting thread indeed! About the inscriptions in slang that the enemy could never understand and rudeness vs politeness, I found the exact opposite of what the main topic is about, on a German Rumpler C.IV...

And the latest, IMO arcadish call on Hollywood style scarves and the non historical way streamers were finally depicted, really pissed me off! Not to mention the "personal package"... Alhough my good relations to the developing team, due to my pilot skin work, I couldn't help it and was kind of aggresive against their "commercial trick" in the RoF Forums. The AI fix of cloud blindness and RTB when hit or low at fuel was very welcome, indeed. I tried the beta Career but dropped it at once in favor of Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator. I agree with the pace RoF goes it could approach OFF planeset, in may be...10 years...
