lets hope easy FM was on.

"lets hope easy FM was on."


LoL! That plane flew pretty well with no wing.

It's really annoying that we have to look at these crappy handycamera movies.
Unbelievable that there seems to be no HD let alone Full HD camcorders in Russia and these parts of Europe.

sun glare looked pretty good from what i could see.

Play that funky music!

Another...though good to see its running nice and smooth with only 6 weeks till release ...dont tell me...its a early build...not enough RAM....still optimizing...and that was with only 1 plane ...getting worried now...really

edit...small online map?

Your worries don't mean a lot without knowing what type of computer the game was being run on, object density, map size, etc.

And since you have no more knowledge of the system specs/maps/density than he does, who's to say his worries are unfounded...?

Ben

So Oleg would choose a low spec PC to show COD on at the show? would you Luke?

or would you pick the highest spec you could to show your dream to the public 6 weeks before release?

I'm not saying they're unfounded, just that without any frame of reference one can't make a definite conclusion about how the game will run.

Plus, look at the calendar. The game is still over a month from being released. There's still sufficient time to optimize the game.

No, there isn't. There's code-lock, localisation (language versions) and duplication and printing to be done (often booked-in ahead of time) and lots of small jobs.

Ben

Most probably like in Igromir the material was imposed by the organizer.

It is also more than a little probable that OM does not have the budget to purchase a bank of high end computers for the show (he would give them to the programmers!) so he is constrained by whatever the organiser has available and in this case they are certainly not high end (economically it is just not doable)...So there is absolutely no conclusion to be drawn one way or another!

You must know that an exhibitor fee in tradeshows is often very high in Russia, and location of material is also quite high as well (considering it will be damaged at the end to a more or less large extent: three days of swarms of kiddies is not a good thing for computer integrity...)


JV

For the release version? Yes. Beyond that, we know the game will continue to be optimized. Luthier has already hinted at there being a release-day patch.

JVM...lets hope your right.

info...

Guys on sukhoi are really impressed with game. Here are few highlights, but take into account that difficulty settings most likely **was not full real**. Also graphics quality was heavily reduced due to poor perfomance of provided machines (core i5 (probably 750 not sure) Radeon 5670, .4Gb ram)

- Dynamic lightning in cockpits look awesome
- water is very photorealistic, full of details
- Horizon and sky are outstanding. you can feel the "deep" of them. The whole atmosphere surrounding plane is verry good, you can feel that its windy and sunny outside of plane
- Flying over ground make game to drop fps quite significantly, sometimes quite unpleasent to fly.
- Hits on the plane are very visible, small cloud on smoke on every hit like in guncams.
- Tracers are really helpfull for better aiming. Some people doesnt like the way they look, other like them very much. Luthier was asked about them and he answered that tracers are perfect and very close to reality. point.
- hard to shot down other airplanes (more on that later)
- oil marks on windows are very realistic and nice
- [bug] you can see grass appearing inside your hurricane while its on land
- some people report that props keep rotating even if you hit the land with it, but later everyone come to conclusion that same damage settings was turned of
- hurricane is much more sluggish that Spitfire, therefore there are much less head movements in hurricane on every evolution
- All planes are much more sluggish than in IL-2
- guns (thoose things which are not cannons) are much more deadly now, they became real weapon. But its much harder to hit the plane as well
- explosions of land items are much better than in IL-2 but still not as in guncams
- rear view is much improved, you dont stare at your backseat, but look along side of the plane
- even equipment of pilot affects how your plane will behave. So its up to you whether take heavy parachute or not
- you can adjust vertical and horisontal aiming point of every gun individually
- every gun can have its own personal type of ammo
- you cant hear enemy on your 6
- its very hard to spot airplane now event on top of sky. Sun make things worse. People lost bots easily when they flew away in the derection of sun
- you can set enemy on fire with guns but you need to deliver enough hits which is hard
- rudder now affects fly much stronger.
- there are autorudder option which will make PC to control your rudder
- once you take off you need to get energy, now more 180 turns immediately after takeoff
- people avoided to fly over land because of perfomance reasons (even if graphics was on low settings).
- it is hard to tell if there was turbulence if you are on 6, probably not on this difficulty settings
- shooting enemies is really hard. If enemy doesnt see you - you have chance. if everyone sees everyone chances to shoot down anyone is minimal
- right turn is not really different from left turn on hurricane. Opposite for Bf-109 E3 - its almost dont do right turn
- even if you dive deeply and pull up you dont blackout
- when you dive deeply and pull up slump is quite heavy and very noticible
- flying over london on Low graphics settings was impossible, PC gave unacceptable FPS
- head movement is huge factor, aiming cross becomes invisible even on small G because heads goes away from sight device. Use tracers to correct your aim.
- when plane is on fire black smoke is so dense that you cant see plane when you on six and cant deliver few more rounds to him
- If you buy game on steam you'll need internet connection only once for activation. Then you can fly offline as much as you want using steam version
- !!! GAME IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING. Game version which will be released on disks is not final. When you'll go online to activate your game most up to date patch will be downloaded automatically, so 1C Games has more time to make game better.
- !!! 1C is publisher. At least 1C is fully controls what to put, where and when do a release. I have an impression from other discussions on sukhoi that UBI is just a distribution partner. Cant find a link to prove it.
- They are optimizing( =simplifying) weather and air flows. Its so much complex now that can make even high end machines to hang. Once PCs become better disabled features will be enabled back by patch.
-

Last but not least: everyone who tried game was impressed and never disappointed.

Hope that mouse pointer is hideable....

Perhaps the most in-depth info we ever received about what the game is and how it feels. Of course, we have absolutely no expectation that someone from Maddox Games could do the same or better than mere fans of the game. Thanks for the info.

Steam here I come!!! w00h00

looks fantastic!

Looks like I'll be waiting for it to come onto Steam before I buy the sim. Over here in Oz the Ubi option doesn't look very attractive.

Thanks for the update, that list of coments was ery interesting Furbs!

Thanks!
