I will "finish" my part of the work on the Peshka and when time is left I will release an other side project. I like the work with OPS much, also FM/DM'ing is fun. But without a change in the code some things are simply impossible to do.

When Il-2 is out and SDOE is still un- or halfpatched and full of bugs and SOS is not out I´ll leave you, of course I will use SDOE and OPS and all the good stuff that others had done (will do). But I won't modell any new aircraft or vehicle for SDOE.

It seems that Oleg Maddox and his team give more support to modellers of aircraft and users of their game than parsoft/activision gives to us (except MH´s work).

Anyway cant wait for Il-2, hoping that it will be better than SDOE is now. Enough said, Peshka is in the hangar waiting for me

Note the trees and damage lods ! FPS rate abou 23-26 with 450 Mhz and TNT2 !

They will release software for plane building (?) and mission building. Release is October 2000.

Isn´t that great ?

Here is a wireframe pic of the Il-2. I think it shows highest detail, might be interesting for the modellers out here:

Please don´t kill me for posting all that stuff in here, but I think most of you will like Il-2 when it is done !

Of course the virtual runways are littered with games that had great promise, then failed to deliver.

Got my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath. Six months is to long for me to hold that.

It has always seemed to me that, while professional, the art in SDOE is not largly inspiring. The new skins have added allot IMO. It looks like they are doing allot with photo-realism and art touches that make the light dance, etc. The terrain is loking real neat...

I am looking forward to both IL-2 and B17-II and if both deliver I will be ecstatic. In the mean time I'm head down plowing through Comanche/Hokum (48 hours real time into the Taiwan campaign) and loving every minute of it.

And with what is turning into a mass withdrawl from the game due to "all its flaws", would the last person out please turn off the lights?

PROPWASH ! I assume you dont like my input ? ("I assume that these people think that without informing us of thier leaving, we would be searching the site for thier input.
I think not!") My input is not worth reading and only crap ? I think not ! But if you dont like my input just skip my topics !

PROPWASH ! My only intention was to tell the comunity my future plans, I did not ask for posts like "OH I´m so sorry you´re leaving sweet pXssy LK" Of course I´m not scared about such posts cause it shows that some people like my work.

PROPWASH ! I wrote "October 2000". Now it's may right ? You dont want to see the Peshka in SDOE ? Should I stop working on it ? I think not ! Some people might like that plane.

PROPWASH ! What did YOU give to SDOE ? Good inputs ? Maybe I dont miss your input if you leave before me

PROPWASH ! Enough said ! We could discuss things like "Did SDOE rules or not" etc. Pffff - I´m too lazy for such discussions. Tell me when I misunderstood you ! I´ll not waste my time in the "Flame Wars" area cause the Pe2 needs some work. OK Sweetheart ?

LK 801 (still here)

PS:
PROPWASH ! The one with the fanfare is right, next time I leave you ( ) I´ll post a small "I´m out".

I look forward to flying some of your creations in the future man.

If it turns out as good as it sounds and looks its going to be some good stuff.

I may be wrong cause I haven't read their forum for about a week, but he seemed quiet adamant that player addons will not a part of Il-2.

I just wish to get the point across that its an un-needed practice.

So please knock it off.

Prop out!

posted 05-02- 03:49 PM               

To clear it up: I never thought about quiting SDOE at all, I´ll just stop to make planes for any online standard/planepack
. Maybe it was wrong to tell this here and now.

fanfare Uhh ahh - I´m tired - it was a hard day - last thing I can say -> patch it ! SOS ! fanfare

Guys. If you read it Oleg said he WOULD let outside people make the models and cockpits for aircraft they would like to see put in the game

AND maddox games would finish them off with DM and FM.

that would keep all planes balenced.

IL-2 won't be another SDOE. (thank god)
but this will get more planes in the games faster then if the company did all the work by themselves.

The next game like SDOE would probly be SDOE2

IF it ever comes out and its not crap

"player addons were not going to be allowed in Il-2, they were going to allow people to mail them aircraft models now for them to put in the game for you"

posted 05-02- 07:45 PM               

Actually Nat. I think he said you CAN mail them now but it will be later that they are put in.

In the expansion packs which I think are free.

BTW

Lakia maybe you should make a couple higher detail I 16s and mail them to oleg and maybe with luck he will use it in the game

When I smell bullshit, its because somebody droped it here!

posted 05-03- 02:35 AM               

I thought Il-2 looked pretty sweet in the screenshots and actually considered BUYING it when it comes out (being a student looking for a job, finance for things can become pretty scarce!)

posted 05-03- 03:59 AM               

NO. Its not and open format like SDOE.

Oleg is just being nice and taking advantage of some great modlers help to get more planes in the game faster and cheaper.

He still voices it in an offensive, provocative way, making one wonder if his intent is to simply state his case, or to provoke hostile rebuttal, but it's probably his best string of posts yet.

Of course that's kind of like saying a bullet through the back of the head is an improvement over freezing to death though, but what the hell.

This is not a defense, but rather an observation.

I think more respected "Lords of The SDOE Community" have voiced disapproval over people giving long goodbyes in the past. Their comments seemed warmly received by other respected "Lords of The SDOE Community," but then they were not openly hated and despised like Propwash, and of course additionally to be considered, is that if you really read Laika's first post that started all this, it wasn't really a good-bye at all.

Also additionally, and possibly unfortunately for some, Pang is probably right. The '51, much to everyone's chagrin, really doesn't stall as readily as it would in "Real Life" (whatever that means after living in the virtual world that we do), especially in regard to stalls caused by excessive pulling back on the stick.

I don't think this is that much of a big deal though, when you take into consideration that it is rather finicky in a prolonged break turn at low alt and low speed, and all the other factors that make it fun to fly online in SDOE.

We won't talk about how flying online is getting harder and harder to do in general right now though. Honest we won't.

I think this thread, and the reaction to Prop's posts, are probably an indication that we are just a teeny bit on edge, and prone to attack like a cornered cat at the slightest provacation.

Incessant waiting for mythical fixes, continued DT's, constantly adapting to changing FM's, and people's rudeness both in this forum, and in the form of lack of understanding online has caused us all to be a bit twitchy with our gun hands.

I promised myself I was going to stop reading and posting in the Forum, but God help me, I can't seem to stop. It's kind of like being in love with a woman who gives you herion each time you have sex.

And I did stop posting for a while. I didn't give a goodbye, but believe me, I would now! You betcha!

Why? Because no one seemed to care I was spending sleepless nights, tossing and turning, with only the dreams of my two real loves in life to keep me sane. The dream of someday becoming that guy in the booth at the entrance to the Sanitary Land Fill, or basking in the limelight of being an Internationally Renowned Hairdresser.

Uh-oh. The charming young men in the White Coats are coming down the hall for me. Better sign off. Hey! Get your hands off me! AAAAAaaaaaaah!
