Testing flak - anti-aircraft guns firing in anger - from Oerlikon and Bofors 20mm/40mm shipborne artillery, AI-controlled, and even some point-blank SAM launches from Royal Navy vessels in Bomb Alley. Argentinean A-4 Skyhawks were forced to fly below ship deck height (15 ft, even 10 feet high, like I show in the video) and at maximum speed to try to avoid the curtain of anti-aircraft fire. Navy pilots attacking the HMS Ardent climbed to 200-300ft to drop the Mk-82 bombs and from this altitude the bombs were able to properly hit the target, detonating, and sinking the already damaged vessel.

Many details lacking in our simulation, like muzzle flashes from the guns, AA crew characters on decks, splashes from shells hitting the water, shrapnel flying from the blasts, cockpit shake and turbulence, etc etc.

The player's aircraft isn't yet taking account of the combat damage (direct hits, blast or shrapnel damage) - this is work-in-progress - we're aiming for a very complete damage model.

But the AA positions on the warships can be put out of action by strafing or blast damage.

All these combat-related parts of our code will be much improved through 2008.

  • En mi modesta opinión como usuario de sims de vuelo, la flak esta un poco irrealista. La animación de la explosión de la flak muy igual siempre y el sonido a mi entender de la detonación también. Eso debería variar para darle un toque mayor de realismo. El resto me gustó mucho.

    Simple consejito con ánimo constructivo.

    FELIZ 2008!!

  • Charrualoco: sep, en esta prueba sólo hay un efecto de flak (tanto de animación y de sonido) y necesita mejoras, pienso que las ráfagas de flak deben cambiar aleatoriamente a través de 3 o 4 diferentes efectos, por lo menos. Gracias por su observacción y un FELIZ 2008 para usted!! :)

  • thats some hard core AAA fire there coming into the target great cilp)

  • Esta bueno, el problema es que la serie IL-2 FB ha colocado el liston muy alto en cuanto esta clase de efectos.Coincido en todo con "charrualoco". Otra observacion la FLAK a tan baja altutrçra levanta tambien surtidores de agua ademas de el splash generado por las esquirlas de las que explotan en el aire.

    Sigan trabajando que estara muy bueno y sera una forma de safar de los simuladores centradoes en europa-USA

  • todavia no salio, se espera un demo en el 2010

  • che loco tenes idea de cuando sale a la venta aca en capital??

  • A flyable skyhawk eh looks good.

  • Faço questão de comprar qnd sair. Parabéns pelo trabalho!!

  • es facil de controlar el avion y todo? cuendo va a salir a la venta?
