  1. I bought it few months ago, I think it's underrated solid simulation, good revamp of an old gem (Rowan's BoB). However, there are few issues that bothers me: Strategy -Like kesegy pointed out, I'd prefer "simple" pilot's point of view, squadrons and resource managing through all the windows is still hard and confusing thing (have been flying Mig Alley since 2000) Graphics are very good minding the core engine years, apart those multiple layered top clouds, which tends to disappear on my ATI (newer GeForce works ok) It's really, really hard one on full realism, first few missions I wasn't even able to pursuit and intercept bombers Some objects (ships) are straigh from original BOB, may change with patch In fact it's stable from 2.05 up (currently playing 2.06). And things that shine and makes it worth buying: AI! Pits -have that good old EAW feel, good detail and performance Dogfights -it's best at portraying WW2 furballs, had Pacific Fighters for a short period of time, that battles compared to BoB 2 are tiny Radio and ground control -declaring emergencies, leader calls ("That's it! Shoot him!"), many many excellent voices Clouds and lighting are nice, aswell as that watershader Developers seem to include best from user made content into it, as seems by the 2.08 preview This topic makes me wanna launch it this evening And I look forward to their new upcoming title focusing on Burma and P-40 + a new terrain engine Post Scriptum: Don't know if you are aware but there is an action sim called "Air Battles: Sky Defenders" which is in fact BoB 2 without campaign (only BoB 2 customizable instant action missions), switchable action-style HUD display and different terrain textures, plus few others tweaks, have it too.
  2. Happy Independence Day!
  3. It's for B-61 tactical version, selectable yeld , I'm not nukes guru as you Lexx, I think "generic tactical nuke effect" must be the answer... But far below 1 MT I think
  4. Can you spot it? EDIT: Here's a quick test of current version, recorded at 2x time -I have trial Fraps which limits to only 30 seconds of recording, so I speeded things up to give you the rough idea: It's at beta stage, I aim at ease of installation, without messing with enviroment of flightengine files
  5. Looks very nice indeed, but it's a hires repaint of stock Lomac terrain, ain't it? Silverbolt, I think WOI looks very good with standard textures, and looks somewhat similar to the pic with a pair of Falcons. Anyway nice skins you made there ruggbutt :yes:
  6. Another bad guy... Never tired of flying those
  7. Happy Birthday chaps!
  8. Looks good. We'll need more for KingAlbert's Berlin Crisis campaign

    Austin Powers

    Seems so. And you recently inspired my new sig, Silverbolt I was blown away by the Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg cameo in Goldmember. And that Dr.Evil's assistant chick. Yeah, Mike is funny!
  10. 2! seems more realistic. But I wouldn't mind if you include both for us to choose
  11. I made the particle graphics from scratch and created new emitters based on those from WOI. Basically most things will be new. HDR has nothing to do with the effects... but yes, I use it in these shots
  12. Well thanks guys! Had to do some paper work at my studies, couldn't reply earlier. Everything is ok, I managed not to blow anything or set flat on fire
  13. Serverandenforcer, I'd love to have features you listed, but I'm limited by the engine. So no flaming debris setting objects on fire or blastwave making collateral dmg We don't even have "proper" napalm damage simulation/proggresive damage
  14. I'll see about clusters. If the results are satisfacting, I'll include them also. Fuel air explosive will be there for sure. Any maybe something that measures in kilotons too...
  15. 27 x M117 at 300 miliseconds, low altitude: (I hit the system particles limit on this one, but it seems I also hit something on the ground)
  16. As I wrote in first post, from a week to two, perhaps. Depending on how much things I'd remake.
  17. I hope I'll make short clip of current version in action soon
  18. Hello fellow pyromaniacs! as the title says, here are few shots from incoming Enhanced Explosions 3: Release date unknown ATM but I think in a week or two everything should be ready, I'm making new particle graphics right now, which is a PITA to handdrawn them, I undecided yet how big the pack gonna be, but probably most of the standard effects will be replaced by brand new,high resolution ones, I'll left some from Weapons Packs alone. I'm building this pack ontop of default WOI ones (which are best stock btw.) but they should be compatible with any installation of the series.

    What is that red thing with black cone to the very right, under U2's wing? Some kind of drone? Or plane part?

    Signum to co robisz fachowo nazywa się spammingiem -nabijasz sobie posty gdzie się da i jak się da, więc nie chwal się ich liczbą... @Koman125: Witaj na Combat Ace! Miłego pobytu. Każda twórcza inicjatywa jest mile widziana. W razie jakichkolwiek problemów wal w ciemno do ArturRa -on odpowiada za polską sekcję. Ja też pomogę w miarę możliwości.
  23. Pacific actions... YES!
