[Anton1987RU]

Crappy Beta fps =)

[100grapes]

fail old school comps...

[66GTO4speed]

Oleg, you are still the greatest... but please get away from UBI.

[Metalicalypse]

PLEASE MAKE REALISTIC AS IL-STURMOVIK.

Add features who exist in STURMOVIK like.

aircraft shakes when taking off/Landing,when in the air make cockpit look like real and shakes a little...

Add Recoil effect when shooting.

Add wind effect...

make pilot take breathing like real and put sound like hhaahhhuuuuhhh haaaahoouuuhhh for G effect.

Come on we are in 2011 and we need these please.

Don't put anything from Birds of prey, Or I'll hang myself :(

Love you 1C

[zauii89]

@Metalicalypse

It has nothing to do with Birds of Prey, BOP was a pure console title by another company called GAJIN.

Its pure and pure a simulator this and it will be as realistic as they can get it by all the researched data, it comes out on march 25th 2011 so be ready.

[Mattebubben]

Storm of war will be out 25th March Though its not called storm of war anymore named Il2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover

[traffety]

Ahh yes this is the very best now I cannot wait until this comes.

[AntoSASA]

omg lagss ))))

[freakyflow]

Ilya please please please don't "sell out" to a gaming platform like xbox there are so many PC users that prey for a bigger multi player room ..32 players is boring We all love your work on the grafix. We need teams and more sim then arcade feel prop wash etc ..In the end you will have everyone playing this ..Fighter ace Had awsome flying feel to it but looked like 8-bit ..thats what killed them ! Sexy looks is good But keep them coming back with smarts

[JaguarKinG95]

would it run on on high grafics on an Amd x8 4x 2,4 ghz and a ati 5770 1gb ?

[MastaMag]

This is great!

[TheXxfacTxx]

dont forget the 37mm cannons on the ju 87g ;)

[t1oxETy]

@freakyflow i seen nov 2010 too :p both dates would be awsome

[Eprwismerhill]

Everyone with TrackIR =)

[NamelessFragger]

This must be one really old build, because I discovered this one from a much newer, far more gorgeous-looking, and most of all, SMOOTHER-running build video also on YouTube.

Can't wait to try it, that's for sure, though IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 will be a very tough act to follow with all the content it's amassed and how cheap it is nowadays. Perhaps the flight models are even more realistic, and maybe they've implemented more realistic trim for FFB sticks...

[t1oxETy]

when are they hoping for this to come out

[freakyflow]

@t1oxETy rumor has it for Oct of 2010 however there have been so many redates since 2008

[59n1tr0n72]

wow... that would be gr8 with tech like the kinect, but 4 pc :D

[mechan9]

Anyone know whey they're still using CRT's?

[NamelessFragger]

@mechan9

They still work, and those ViewSonics and especially that Mitsubishi appear to be nice Diamondtron NFs that would still wipe the floor with a typical LCD in many areas-especially TN ones. Paying more money to replace something that works perfectly well, possibly even better, in the name of sex appeal and thinness just wouldn't be practical.

(As an aside, is your name a Starflight reference?)

[mechan9]

@NamelessFragger I see your point. Before buying my first LCD I fretted over input lag, ghosting, and back lighting. It's true, I prefer playing old games like Thief 1/2 on a CRT as the blacks are truly black but for reading text for everyday use I could never go back to a CRT. Anyway, yeah, mechan9 is from Starflight, my all time favorite PC game :D

[kkvl8]

@mechan9 Think they're still using CRT probably because those Mitsubishi aperture grill monitors are better than most of modern LCD in almost every aspect: color accuracy - true sRGB gamut and properly saturated colors after calibration; steady quality throughout of the screen,no input lag, high refresh rate, works perfectly at any resolution. You may spend thousands on a modern LCD monitor and get nothing even close to that.

[Geistero]

this game will never be done

[warmonger735]

@Geistero WTF?

they have almost finished it

they aren't about to stop now

pessimist XQ

[Geistero]

@warmonger735 it depends on how long you follow the progress. I hear this phrase "almost finished" for about 3 years. and you? :))

[warmonger735]

@Geistero well if i'm honest i have to agree with you

but they did show us some decent footage there

not bad in my opinion

but then again i only found out about this game a couple of months ago anyway

maybe you have been waiting longer?

personaly i dont think they will cancel the project at this stage in the dev process

that would be dumb

besides they have given us a relese date witch they have promised they will conform to sooo...

[contemporarymonk]

yeah this looks like its a 2007/2008 report or the scenes from the game, i've seen parts where the game is much more optimized and has no FPS lag at all. The only thing i am worried about is that many people will have to update their rigs. It looks like you will need a duo-core at the least and a good card like the ATi 4850 or lower 3xxx series. Otherwise cant wait!!!! Real action on PC mutherfuckers

[unkowndrunkenfrankli]

@contemporarymonk im 100% sure they will require a quad core..im also pretty sure that 95% of ppls rigs wont b able to run it on full.i have BOB2 WoV-and with full settings on a phenom 2 x4 3.4ghz 4 gig ram win xp and 8800GT 512 i still cant run it smooth(with hundreds of AI).i have read a recent interview that these guys are on a timeline, and absolute latest thety will release it is in October..meaning that if there are any glitches/optimization issues left, the game will be lauched anyways.

[popol321]

its 6dof ready.

[Latvietis96]

haha now listen folks: we have to say ''IL dva'' not ''Ai El two'' !

[matrox]

I have been waiting for over a year for this game to come out!! I bet it will be a real doozey.

[Tracer2k]

@matrox i've been waiting for this since the day they announced it back in 2006 ;) it's been a looong wait

[dardraa]

awesome! faved!

[ckolonko]

Cant wait for this. All i have to do is re-mortgage my house to afford a PC to play it on.

[MaddJP]

this will kick some major ass

[Ala13Kokakolo]

Frame rate is rubish, I hope they will optimize it for our rigs!!!

[FSXISCOOL]

@Ala13Kokakolo Its work in progress!..and you will def need a new pc when it comes out so stop moaning and accept that this will be a next generation flightsim that wont run on present day machines...the terrain graphics are only for demo purposes..wait until the final product arrives it will blow you away!...i doubt oleg uses state of the art pc's to test basic animations and aircraft behaviour anyway and the WIP code will not be optimised yet!... so stop whining like a spoilt brat!

[Xiolablu3]

@FSXISCOOL Absolutely!

[frsv0678]

@Ala13Kokakolo ofc they will!

[leefuji]

@Ala13Kokakolo someone buy them LCD's . 

[NamelessFragger]

@leefuji

If you want those Diamondtron NFs replaced so badly, you'd better treat them right and give them some S-IPS or H-IPS panels with RGBLED backlighting.

Even then, they'd lose out on refresh rates (I have yet to see an IPS exceed 60 Hz) and have to put up with native resolution rescaling should they need to cut resolution for performance reasons...and for the good LCDs, we're talking at least US$1,000, probably more. (Try $5,000+ for certain Eizo monitors...)

[zauii89]

@Ala13Kokakolo

Dude its the camera recording it..

[Mattebubben]

@Ala13Kokakolo this was 1 year ago so it will be much much better now will be out march 25th

[Arrowhead2k1]

Can't these guys upgrade to widescreen LCDs already?

[SZ9000]

They are going to do that as soon as people stop pirating their games. The NA market wants 'Computer SImulations made easy for Dummies' and while the rest of the 3rd world follows NA, the Eastern Europeans who actually make innovative and productive games face excessive piracy. Take Anno 1404, Settlers 7, Silent Hunter 5, Storm of War &c for future references.

[vnimaev]

@Arrowhead2k1 You think - LCD`s better????? DON`T!!!!

[vnimaev]

You think - LCD iS betteR??? Don`TTT!!!

[AKATenn]

go read the forums about this video... really its talking about how PC's are the way to go if you want to play a flight simulator... its not an ad for SOW, its an ad for PC flight simming, and since this is from a russian TV program, of coarse they'd choose a russian flight sim.

[kingpinda2]

@AKATenn lol. its not because its russian.. But because il2 sturmovik, is what i think and many buff simmers with me, one of the best WWII flight sims. Since 2001 the community is still alive and many mods are made on this excellent engine. This is the next gen of that sim and we await it eagerly.

[AKATenn]

@kingpinda2 but you wouldn't see an american TV crew going down there, their too proud to admit another country can do a one up on them, and probly wouldn't pay for someone to go down there just for that.

[Hrimpurstala]

@AKATenn

I don't think they really care. Russia has dominated flight simulators since the great collapse of the western studios ten years ago. Flaming cliffs 2, Il-2 1946, Rise of Flight, even Steel Fury Kharkov 1942 are all produce by Russian studios.

[zauii89]

@Hrimpurstala

Very true, actually i'd say the EAST is almost the only once who still remembers how to make great PC games AND great simulations, there are a few western exceptions tho such as TripWire Interactive with their brilliant Red Orchestra, RO2 coming up.

[matrox]

@kingpinda2

I knew IL2 was the bestest when I first lifted off the runway about 8 years ago.

[kingpinda2]

@AKATenn Yeah ok i grand you that. They could have thrown in rise of flight also though I believe that is russian also. Alas though it looks stunning its nowhere near as fun or server busy so to speak as is IL2. But i concur. PC simming is the way. Microsoft flight sim x is fun to fly for those "don't hassle me too much" moments but if you want to hit a furball.. Il2 is imo the best thing so far. And many americans and canadians also know and fly this sim.

[smashpiranha]

That's right, real action is still on computers!

[panamajack7X]

Damn Straight.

[magmadragonz]

@smashpiranha hell yeah!!!!

[matrox]

@smashpiranha

Yep...playstations are for kiddies.

[bogieman987]

@matrox And for people who want to play games that dont come out for PC, i have both but my PC is crap so i play PS3 but if i had £1100 ide get a new PC with the latest parts.

[NightFalc0n]

@smashpiranha

Agree, "real action is still on computer", consoles are for kids to play their arcade type games, PC is for serious gaming.

[FliegerOffizier]

Actually, I would remove this video if i were 1C. It shows mostly IL2 game footage/captures...unModded at that. It's got teh look of IL2 in 2003. Anyone seeing this video and it's name related to SOW:BofB will walk away with a negative perspective on SOW. That's bad marketing.

[sheaprodigy]

Will sow use something like hyperlobby?hope it does,it does be good to chat

[RomanatorII]

SoW will have its own lobby system built in.

[Artiglio1977]

WOWOWOOWOW :)=

[Tome4kkkk]

This video shows nothing new nor interesting regarding SoW.

[lobo345]

Hope it'll work with FreeTrack too.

[Philhl]

no problem, I am sure.. FreeTrack emulates the trackir output and trackir is supported as shown in the video.

[lobo345]

@Philhl, afaik TrackIR uses nowadays encrypted API which FreeTrack can't use.

For example ARMA2 needed separate freetrack dll-files for FreeTrack implementation.

[335Orion]

We are waiting :)

[longbowdt]

thanks to Oleg's crew at 1C for posting this video. It was informative, and of course, left me wanting to see more. I can hardly wait for the release. Like many around the world I bought all the IL2 series updates, and love flying the sim online with the virtual pilots of the world. It was a great work in 2001, and is still a great work. SoW_BoB has a lot to live up to. Here's to success!
