homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Rise of Flight - The First Great Air War WWI sim, based on the IL-2 engine announced

There are very good reasons for not coming up with screenies, so I can live with that, but would love to see some of course.

For instance, it really wouldn't be a good idea for Oleg to produce boB screenies, while he is still selling il-2FB add-ons...

Is that what I "implied", or is that what you stated?

Perhaps you were just kidding then? Let's chalk it up to that - no reason to drag your mother into it.

Is that what I "implied"

You said this very day and I quote No let's not wait a few months to ask for an early screenshot that would be rather unwarranted what with this being a flight-sim forum and everything and the developer communicating with us right here. Makes for large sales does communication person-to-developer-person. Gives one confidence, the buzz ratchets up another notch. We've all got bills to pay.

We're all dying to see a screenshot I'm just the brave one sticking his head above the parapet. My mother taught me. Don't ask, don't get

And I'd said nothing about anyware and I quote The vaporware word you chose to use and you appear to believe that my conversation with VikS is in some way your business just because you read it here

That keyboard thing again it's a magnet isn't it whispering "Go on say something horrible you like that don't you. Tell them to shut up about it and talk about something else you're getting a headache, that'll go down well..." pure The Shining isn't it

I on the other hand make polite conversation like my mother taught me. At the aforementioned Mothers Meetings

LOL.....



Or.....let them eat cake!

nice pie

Yep, and it's magic pie too......and if it's rising, it'll be real good pie, and everybody will want a piece.

Did the original artwork above way back in September 2003, for a Knights Over Europe forum discussion not too unlike this one here.....if y'all recall, KOE was the aborted WWI sim Aspect Simulations was hoping to bring to the market.

I hope this new one makes it to the market, because I like good pie too!

To sum up:

So we can also gather from subsequent posts that the Fokkers from GT won't work with the Fokkers from d-Strict; not that they're not nice, it's just that the Fokkers won't work together very well. Common in company mergers.

They'll show us their Fokkers but nary a hole in the ground; apparently it's not where the Fokkers wind up that's too unusual, but the Fokkers themselves they're proud of.

Also, Ming says to leave his mother out of any discussion about Fokkers.

Aye BA_Dart... But those Fokkers were flying Messerschmitts!!

lol she was not

A broomstick possibly we all secretly mused she was quite a lady

Oi no broomstick FM jokes. Angel's wings are ok though they aren't fixed-wing so room for debate

And didn't a Looking Glass offspring have a WW1 sim bubbling under and then er, going down to the mud in a flood of flight-sim fan tears?

This one is created under licence from Oleg I think, so if the teams can get over the Clash Of The Titles and work together happily and we all cross our fingers maybe we can suck the ball into the net. Will be good after England's success in Germany. No not that success you've got WW2 on the brain. The other one on the pitch in a couple of weeks. We'll take the Fokkers down with us under a Brazilian arty barrage

Hi there, I just want to say something. Just don't knowh what.

I'm for terrain shots. But I just don't like to get dirty. Maybe I ate too much dirt when I was a kid.

I play one game until now, and that is IL2. Ok, I'm a late comer... fell in love with IL at 35, never played a sim bevor (except on a Commodore 64) I tried STP1, WOV but nothing. Now I'm just anccious for the WWI sim. Can't wait and so on....

Much better....now we're all back to being the dirty Fokkers we are, with pie in the face, and our mothers elevated back where they belong (broomsticks or not).

Now we wait, and continue to speculate....cogito, ergo zoom....

I wonder what engine they'll be using now? The Sikorsky 3D engine should be open where as the Il-2 one would not be...One may lead to easy cheats and that kills online fun quick.

I want to see hordes of Tommie's advancing across no mans land with shells exploding round them.

Well, Ageia Phisics could take care of that. Is time already that developers begin using it in next projects

This weeks update posted.

We have the Pfalz DIIIa and an RFC staff car and a 7.7cm German AA gun mounted on a truck.

All are excellent - as is the usual case.

Barkhorn.

Ahh the lovely Pfalz !
Will it be flyable?

Will there also be a Crossley ambulance? Had one from Matchbox Yesteryears thirty years ago ...

And don't forget to add a flyable Halberstadt CLII for trench strafing, pleeeeese

My guess is - and it is a guess - that all single seaters will be flyable - but only a few two seaters. But that "probably" will include the Bristol F2b and the Halb CLII - fingers crossed.

Barkhorn.

So any clue as to when this thing will be done. When it's done isn't good enough. There should be some rough deadline . End of this year . First of next .

Any other WW1 games in development besides this one and Third Wires.

Nonsense!!!

Just AS detailed as the ones we have seen from BOB.
