I have, played and modded myself all the above mentioned sims... I agree totally with Bullethead about CloD, still waiting for the magic patch that will enhance the code and get this thing playable! Down low it's incredible, graphically, even in mid settings in my laptop, but I'm not yet convinced at mid-higher altitudes... Anyway I consider it still beta... About RoF now... As many of you may know, I have jumped to OFF from RoF, (kind of unusual). I was missing something in RoF, but... the sense of flight it creates is still unmatched by any other sim I've flown. When the engine is on, you can feel the vibrations and I don't have a FF stick. Also the engine management is more complex... I can overheat, overcool or overrev my engine, if I screw up. In my first OFF missions I watched my fellow Albatros squadmates diving like Stukas on the enemy down low! This cannot be done in RoF! Even the AI Albatros are using a spiralling descent manoeuvre... The official Career mod is still beta, so I won't comment, but modders can make miracles, sometimes, you know Widow. Pat Wilson, coming straight from RB3D, has developed a Campaign generator, featuring things that OFF Manager still cannot do in P3... like 'fleshy' squadmates that progress and develop throughout the Campaign. (amase victories, upgrade in skill, being promoted-decorated, accordingly) It can plot and generate many many flights simultaneously, each one with it's own goal, (not necessarily related to the player's mission), only they spawn when in a certain distance from the player, to save resources. I don't find anything wrong with that, Olham, it's a feature! Lately, after my petition, has even introduced a claim system for victories... In addition with enhanced AI mods makes the RoF Campaign experience, leaning towards OFF's one. Still, however beautiful RoF's World can be, it's plain sterile comparing to OFF's one. In other words I can't wait for P4!

Impressive!

Wellcome!

Isn't it possible for them to make a download option, for you? When my copy of OFF failed to arrive from America to Greece, OBD arranged a special download option for me, after I showed them my payment receipt. I got the demo version of WvsD, but never made it work, actually! I've downloaded their new dynamic campaign beta too, but I haven't installed it yet...

FITS, yes indeed!

Too much artistic licence...

I know Widow, but in the known cases you've named there was a purpose for the ramming! In the film the German seems almost ready to conduct an emergency landing...at the time of ramming. I didn't claim it never happened, I just couldn't see the purpose in the film story... (except from artistic licence, of course)...

I did now you've pointed that out... Too tiny letters to actually read them in the manager screens... I should change my glasses.

Thanks, a million Winder! You are creating an outstanding work of art Cudos to the whole OBD Team!

Never heard of that, Tamper...(use of Cliffs of Dover). I have seen the film too, some aerial sceenes look great but, I found many "holes" in the script-story itself... Why to collide with the German in the first place and risk his life? Like where he was going to go, in that state, if as he seemingly believed, they were over Britain's soil? Out of vengeance for his friend? (I also don't believe that such a collision with wing break would have been survivable, anyway!) Pretty dumb!

Indeed! Kind of a longshot here, but I wonder, will the names of the crew members in multicrew aircraft, (observers-gunners), be listed in the Squadron Roster as well? Another thing that kind of bothered me, was the Zeppelin destruction... I found it kind of cartoonish! Please, I don't want to offend you, I know about the WiP state and that many effects are not final yet, but I guess we all have seen the destruction of the Hindenburg and how the fire consumes the skin, leaving the bare skeleton of the ship exposed... Is there a possibility to have such kind of effect in the final product?

I think it's gonna be both...isn't it?

Happy birthday, man! I wish for good health to you and your beloved ones!

But everyone is equipped with British helmet-goggles combo... I would like to see German crash helmets (especially for the multiseater crews) and goggles, as well...

Courage!

I did notice that too (about the flying)... As already said I've been watching the video countless times, over and over again! Great work Pol! I agree with Olham about the P3 music theme. (If possible squeeze the old theme in P4 along with the new, masterly crafted, ones) While waiting for the release, the OFF logo gets a new meaning... "Between Heaven and Hell"

I've downloaded the HD video and watching it over and over again... The environment looks strikingly amazing as well as the new OFF Manager screens!

YES!!! :yes: Thanks, Pol!

I downloaded IL-2 CloD (which is a bigger download), from GetGames for 12.49! It took sometime...I think I left it overnight, The download speed was at about 400 kb/sec... The additional comulative mod downloads aren't small either... It's worth the wait though. PS: Don't forget to patch 1946 to the latest version. It's a mandatory field in order to add mod packs. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/265/1/IL_2_Series_Downloads.html

Yes, plus some other theatres too... What about some BoB action? (more stable than CloD) Masterpiece movie, tribute to BoB 1969 movie, by barfly: Or my favorite Mediterranean theatre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WI9tDSaN4E&feature=autoplay&list=ULySDUjTKhc3k&lf=mfu_in_order&playnext=1 PS: Just saw your post... I'm afraid yes; you must have 1946. You can download it from GetGames for 2.49, everything else is charge free! For a game that covers everything in WWII plus Korea, with hundreds of flyable planes available, is ridiculusly cheap!

Some more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn-PS0rzLdk&feature=related

Yes of course, either dynamic or static, (based on historical events), not to mention for practically every side involved!

IMO, install IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 instead... (If you don't have it you can get it for €2.49 from Getgames) http://www.getgamesgo.com/category/Flight-simulation and mod it with UP.3 (Ultra Pack) http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php for additional mods you can go to SAS modding site : http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php I personaly, use DBW (Dark Blue World) mod, from there, on UP.3 (specified for offline play) the best way to go... PS: this way you can practically fly in every theatre of WWII, even Korea, with a mix of early jets and prop planes.
