More teasers !!

[Chizh]

Wow,this is the first time I see a dev answer that much questions in three months.I thought we were forgotten :p

 

May I ask one too? Swingkid said there were rumors of Ka-50 is included in Turkish side,is it true?

We haven’t final decision about Turkish Ka-50 a while.

This helicopter offered to the Turkish tender on the combat helicopter, but not wins. For the sake of multiplayer we have a things to get Ka-50 for Turkish side but it is not realistic and we are hesitate.

[504MrWolf]

Dont do the Turkish KA50 your right to stay realistic in my eyes :)

[Chizh]

Holy **** ! And I was so much worried that 1.2 would be mainly about the Ka-50 with no more resources left for the realy important stuff... I am highly impressed !

 

Since you are so talkative at the moment Olgerd, can I ask you a selfish question ? Do you know what the status is of the Aim-9P Sidewinder ( my model ) implementation ?

I much hope that we shall be able to include this very good model in 1.2

I don't see why - even if the TuAF did not order the Ka-50, it would still be more realistic than a Georgian one, and it would increase the interest in 1.2 for no other reason than it is more challenging to engage in combat Tunguskas, Osa and Tor.

I have to agree with wolfie here as well guys.

 

Even if Kamov win the contract, (which is unlikely) their proposal is more kin to the Ka-52 than the Ka-50.

Sorry Erdem - it was surely my mistake.

Despite my sarcastic comments, I'm not opposed to the idea, but I understand ED hesitation about it.

If you're not afraid of disagreeing result (like my own always end up with), maybe you'd like to start a poll? :)

[nscode]

Ever thought of adding MiG-21? They'r old and turn like a bus, but I just love them... and isn't it the most producet mil jet ever? :)

 

Ough, and it would be so great to see R-60's and R-73's used as SAMs in last days of some campain :)

[Hawg11]

This is absolutly fantastic news Olgerd. My only question is, have you optimized the game in any way for better framerates? Maybe we can run the game with scenes on high?

 

Thank you so much for filling us in on the addon. :)

 

When using fog, I'm able to run all scenes on hi. Details are rendered much closer to player, but the effect is is still convincing.

 

 

Here's a tutorial to eliminate all pop ups in fog: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?download=1926

But aren't you still running 1.02?

 

If so. Did anyone with 1.11 extensively test this mod of yours?

 

Just because it works for 1.02 doesn't automatically mean that it works on 1.11. Things like dxrenderer are not compatable between both and starforce will get in the way of some files from 1.02 working.

 

More power to you if it does work. :D

[504MrWolf]

why would anyone still be on 1.02 ? :rolleyes: :p

[Trident]

Accounting the detals we are implementing now in Ka-50 we simply have not much time for flankers.

You will not get the same as there will be many enchancements in AI behavior (aircrafts and ground units), graphics (not HDR yet, as it needs complete revamp of the engine), completely new trees (SpeedTree engine), new terrain set (Georgia far to the Turkey border) and other things which are in the development now...

Regarding on aircrafts... Let's be patient. Actually 1.2 will demonstrate the absolutely new approach to the avionics design detail. It takes much more time to implement than we even could suppose. Definitely we will start the total reimplementation of "flankers" somewhere in the future, but not earlier than we will release F-16CJ. Any new (or rereleased) aircraft will be implemented in the way we are doing Ka-50 now (AFM, clickable, with true INS/RLG/EGI, startup procedures, and tons of other stuff).

 

*faints*

 

Sounds awsome!

[Olgerd]

lol!

 

ED now need a biologist....who has to classify and select trees in particular regions...so that you don't see palm tress while flying low....lol!

 

 

screen taken by myself...smooth fps....no stuttering...at 1280 x 1024.

 

check out these trees::

 

http://www.speedtree.com/tree_browser/index.htm

 

Of course we will not get so great detail, as we still do flight simulator, and there must be rendered too much trees simultaneously in the frame. The main difference you will see when you will get close enough to a tree.

 

BTW....I almost forgot...

 

Olegrd, can you pls try to make trains placable and removable on maps....so that we can use missions with them.. please.....that will be movie style gaming...:D

 

May be after 1.2.

[Kula66]

For me I'd rather spend CPU sycles on AFM weapons & 15/27/29 than nice trees ... IMHO

[Witchking]

nice to hear all those responses devs. :D thanx.

[MBot]

Say that again after hovering 5m behind one in your Ka-50...

[MBot]

Thanks Chizh, I am looking forward to it.

I'm with you there. I'd like to see those things sooner, rather than later. But I think ED would be remiss if they only focused their attention on flight reality without improving the "visual reality" as well. This sim is rapidly becoming the proving ground for their next simulator, which we all hope will be the next great combat flight sim - eclipsing even Falcon and quite possibly another current vaporware product that holds great promise - Fighter Ops. Time will tell.

[VapoR]

another current vaporware product

 

I don't have any current products in development!! :D

[Witchking]

nice one m8! :D

[SUBS17]

why would anyone still be on 1.02 ? :rolleyes: :p

 

Its hard to convince everyone to get it so we still use both.

[Weta43]

Sexy looking trees - with provision for gusting wind when it gets here. I'm with Mbot, hovering in the present trees would look pretty dodgy, but these are going to look sweet. (& get rid of tree pop-up !)

[SUBS17]

How about the ability to add aircraft types to countries, so Ka50s can fight Ka50s in some battles.

Hi. You're correct. For all I know the fog works like it should with no pop-ups in 1.11. That would rock!

 

There are no downloadable files like dxrenderer (or any others) associated with this "mod". It is a tutorial. This tutorial teaches the limitations of the graphics engine and workarounds for them. So, it would still be useful to a 1.11 user (if he has the time/drive to experiment with some settings).

 

Cheers.

[192nd_Erdem]

I understand the "realism" concern adding Ka-50 to Turkish side.Even Ka wins,it will be a NATO modernised Ka-52,so not realistic in any way :)

 

This thread brings tear to my eyes.

 

ED,what about opening a "Olgerd's Ready Room" section? :D

[Hawg11]

why would anyone still be on 1.02 ? :rolleyes: :p

 

Because you haven't sent them their free courtesy copy yet. :-)
