jadebullet posted:Also, for those of you who are good at engine management, can you tell me why this keeps happening to me. I will be flying the HE111 and I will take enough damage to lose an engine, but take no damage to the other engine. So, I feather the dead engine, and throttle back a bit on the good engine to keep the ATA and revs a bit lower but still find that within about 30 seconds to a minute the good engine starts to trail black smoke and I get the "engine damaged" message and eventually the engine dies. I don't take any other shots to the good engine either, because I tested this by purposely destroying an engine to see if it would still do it, and it does. What am I doing wrong?

semper wifi posted:I heard that this games multiplayer was dead on arrival because of terrible balance problems, that you have to grind out upgrades for your $40 internet plane, that the devs are planning to charge you if you want to skip said grind, and that basically everything that isn't flying a plane is awful, which is exactly what i've come to expect from il-2 so i bought it on steam anyway

Geisladisk posted:Second, I joined a full-sperg-mode online server last night, and after flying around a bit in my Bf-109 my engine caught fire out of the blue. I'm guessing this is because I was running at too high throttle for too long - But what I thought was the engine's thermometer was in the green.

This game runs beautifully at 4k with SLI Geforce 970s. Unfortunately, the LOD boundaries are a lot more obvious when you have that much pixel density. Anyone know if there's a way to manually crank up the view distances?

They've been clear that they want to release expansion packs with more maps and planes, but will only do so if BoS is financially successful enough.

Definitely get headtracking before rudder pedals. It's a must for being combat-effective.Hav posted:777 is run by an ex-trackir employee, so you might want to return Rise of Flight and BoS if that's your reasoning. EvilJoven posted:

MAKE SURE THE GAME YOU WANT TO USE THIS WITH SUPPORTS FREETRACK SOME GAMES ARE FUCKERS AND ONLY WORK WITH AN ACTUAL NATURALPOINT TRACKIR

I just bind "pilot head zoom" to a slider on my throttle. Very useful to be able to switch around as needed for checking instruments/spotting/dogfighting.

There are a lot of cues your plane gives you when you're pulling up too hard. Shaking, wobble, different noises, and so on. Be alert and you'll get the hang of them soon. Maybe play some free flight and do some really aggressive maneuvering to get a feel for things. Maintaining orientation is mostly a matter of looking around a lot. This is much easier with TrackIR for obvious reasons. It's rare for anyone to be able to trim to the point of being completely hands-off in a WWII plane. I usually just use a touch of rudder to correct torque and leave it at that. If you're falling behind people, make sure you're managing your fuel mix/prop pitch/supercharger properly, and not wasting too much energy wobbling around trying to stay perfectly in formation. Maneuver gently, and even try some high yo-yos to retain energy better if you need to make a hard turn. Ralith fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jan 14, 2015 |

Until dedicated servers and the mission editor are out, we're limited to the options the public servers give us. Some have fairly elaborate scripted PVP missions, others just have dogfights. Even then it's still fun to play as a group and coordinate, though.

777 Studios posted:Owners of Premium accounts will be able activate all modifications without unlocking them in Campaign mode. You have a Premium account if you bought Premium edition, or Standard edition plus both additional planes: La-5 and Fw 190 A-3. Activating modifications cannot be reverted so you must make a considerate and thoughtful decision before you click the button. Note that this button doesn’t activate unlockable plane skins which remain obtainable through the Campaign. tl;dr: Mission editor and server coming in a few months, summer/fall versions of the main map and more campaign coming later. In other news, a sequel entitled "Battle of Moscow" has been announced, which will include a new map and another ten planes, including the I-16 type 24. Presumably it'll be multiplayer-compatible. Looks like 777 is keeping their word about the business model for this franchise. The Premium planes are on sale for 50% off until February 20th, and if you buy both you have the option to instantly get all the unlocks just like a Premium owner.

The flight model doesn't suck, it's prettier, the planes are more accurate and detailed, the bulk of the content isn't locked away behind a grind you can host your own servers and make complex missions... Really, all it's missing is player-controlled tanks, and they've actually demoed an (extremely basic) proof-of-concept of that a year or two ago. Doubt they'll invest resources in it, but you never know.

Am I weird for always using 100% linear curves? I kinda like getting a feel for the way individual planes respond, rather than trying to make them all respond the same way.

It's confusing having this technologically really solid game have such incompetent management. It's like there's one really crazy person in a position of power at 777/1C that nobody's willing to challenge, demanding that things be arranged so that they can get off on a feeling of authority by personally approving every single server, mod, and modded server.

I'm down with full-sperg, but I'm also happy with less if other people aren't comfortable with that. You really need to be able to enjoy stuff like navigation as part of the game in its own right, rather than an obstacle to shooting things. You end up with a lot of stuff like getting lost for ten minutes and flying around in circles squinting at your map.

That reminds me: Next time we're screwing around, we should try mid-air bombing of another plane. In 1946 this made the bomb glue to the other plane until the fuse went off, which was hilarious.

Battle of Moscow pre-orders for the premium edition open at $80. Full set of aircraft: I-16 Type 24, Bf-109 E-7, MiG-3, Bf-109 F-2, IL-2 model 1941, Bf-110 E-2, Pe-2 Series 35, Ju-88 A-4, P-40 E-1, MC.202 Series VIII, the last two of which do not come with the standard edition. As before, the premium edition also lets you skip unlocks. Notable new information: 777 Studios posted:Compatibility of BOS and BOM: 100% compatibility via a single user account with one GUI and one game client. This means that when you purchase BOS and BOM, content from both titles can be used on all maps in certain gameplay modes (QMB, Custom Missions, and Multiplayer). Content in the Campaigns will remain specific to each title. They don't explicitly state that this works if you have non-steam BoS, but given that they're very clear about it being "one game client" with access to all content, I can't imagine it not working. Looks like 777 is sticking to their word about releasing content in old IL2 style expansion packs rather than RoF style microtransactions

Well, someone needs to step up and take responsibility for either finding missions or making them. Their servers track your unlock state. It might be possible to work around it in custom multiplayer missions, if it is anywhere, but that's just a guess.

Not sure what your point is, exactly, but in case it wasn't clear: naively-applied hash functions can be easily brute-forced, even properly salted ones are vulnerable to dictionary attacks, and a completely random server-generated nonce is proof against all of the above.

Rift support has been planned all along, and I think it might actually be in already. Not sure. Battle of Moscow will have new content (and is only $60 if you don't feel the need to be ~premium~) but I don't think goons are going to start playing the game until there's a good selection of coop missions (or someone takes it upon themselves to start making them).

I'm interested in flying BoS or 1946, though I don't have a ton of free time these days and I'll probably stop showing up if we end up replaying the same missions (or missions which are indistinguishable) over and over.
