Non e' che lo voglio segare a priori, come sappiamo IL2 e' un programma seriale ma alla fine ci facciamo delle belle missioni lo stesso in SEOW.

Il problema e' che piu' unita' (o "oggetti") aggiungi piu' devi calcolare, ed il tempo necessario per ognuna dipende dalla complessita' dei calcoli che devono fare.
Vi ricordate quando facemmo le prove con millemila carri su IL2?
Li' codice parallelo avrebbe potuto aiutare.

E Oleg, se ricordo bene, aveva promesso mari e monti, questo nuovo engine doveva essere cosi' universale da poter essere utilizzato anche per altri tipi di giochi.

Da qui a 4 anni probabilmente anche le macchine di fascia bassa avranno 4 core... e 3 rimarranno a grattarsi

Le perplessità di Filippo mi sembrano fondate.

Da quello che si legge in giro sembra che gli appassionati di IL2 più che godersi il suo successore dovranno fare l'ennesimo "atto di fede":

Acquistare cioè un prodotto che è ancora ad uno stadio di sviluppo molto primitivo, e sperare che i problemi più grossi vengano risolti in tempi ragionevolmente brevi.

Il problema è che Cod è ancora troppo indietro nello sviluppo per sperare in tempi brevi di sfruttarlo appieno e questo potrebbe essere un problema serio, visto che un simulatore che mostra grandi potenzialità di realismo, ma che è di fatto ingiocabile, potrebbe far fuggire una quota consistente di acquirenti.

Io stesso ho sostenuto lo sviluppo di Rise Of Flight, che fu pubblicato incompleto, tuttavia non sembrava avere già dal principio le lacune che mostra Cod, e adesso dover ricominciare la trafila di attese/ speranze e soprattutto mesi prima di potermelo godere non è che mi attiri molto.

Ho smesso di aggiornare questo post perchè il male allo stomaco è stato tanto e anche perchè ho voluto sperare in una fatidica patch che magicamente risolvesse molti dei bug più grossolani.
Oggi è uscita la "beta patch" e questa è una nota edita da Luthier

[Quick Note - 1845 Moscow time]

Some additional points:

1. Many of you reported being unable to run the game in full screen now. The issue is actually a WIP feature. Until today, CoD only supported a pseudo full screen mode, i.e. a stretched window with no borders. Post-patch we'll have three modes: window, pseudo full screen, and true full screen. We just don't have a GUI switch for it yet, and it can't set it right.
This will be addressed in the live version of the patch.

2. As the patch mainly addressed graphics, the performance gain should have been most noticeable on older machines. The faster your videocard, the less increase in FPS. Eventually your CPU becomes the limiting factor.

3. We do have some additional optimizations that didn't make the beta, like I said. Trees are now a bit faster, and we've optimized block loading, the periodic load-unload of large terrain swatches as you move across the map.

4. If you cannot launch the game, I don't have a fix at this time. We're trying to figure out why this may be happening. Probably a version mismatch somewhere, or it may be connected to the #1 above.
If you wish, you can downgrade to the earlier version by simply right-clicking the game in steam, selecting Properties, and then going to Local Files - Verify Integrity of Local Cache.

And the most important note. If you notice REDUCED performance, crashes, or any kind of other crippling issues, it is extremely important you post your system specs including your version of Windows. That's the only way we can troubleshoot your problem and make sure it disappears by tomorrow!

Thanks again everyone, please keep at it!

Sto aspettando ad upgradare il computer per non cascare in problematiche tipo nvidia/ati in il2, ma se mi scrivono che su macchine prestanti non si vedono benefici (infatti gli utenti del forum lo ribadiscono) che c@zzo faccio?

Comprarlo adesso mi sembra proprio una presa in giro.
Anch'io, come voi, ho comprato RoF anche se non ci volo mai, si fa parte di una comunità e bisogna partecipare ma questa mi sembra una truffa bella e buona.

edit
Oltre modo ripensando a tutto quello che hanno scritto prima che uscisse, esempio l'evento di Mosca dove "era colpa dei computer che avevano a disposizione" se il programma non andava. NON ERA VERO, sono mesi che ci prendono per i fondelli sapendo benissimo che cosa stava capitando. Bastardi

mò non è per fare l'uccello del malaugurio, ma se Oleg ha buttato fuori Cliffs of Dover, è solo per raccimolare soldi. Secondo me il gioco è ancora in stato di BETA totale... qua manco siamo ai livelli di RoF alla sua uscita, almeno lì si riusciva a giocare senza avere tutti sti casini.

Mamma mia... mica l'hanno persa la cosa di prendere per i fondelli la gente. Gli è rimasta dall'espansione del PE-2.

Default Small word from Oleg Maddox
Hi all,

1. I don't think that CoD is thinking ship even if I would left completely.

2. Guys working hard to solve different things in a code.

3. Soon will be patch. Hope today, but not sure. There should be major first fixes for the microfrizes. Then in time will be big patch and as usual in the past with Il-2 series releases who still remeber it - with some new content I think. Maybe in a month or so. At least I think so.

4. I'm not in vacation. Yes,, I plan completely new things. Including in simulation.

thats all for now. I will tell more when I will be ready, or you allwill hear it by other channels, becasue I now can't spend so much time for readiung forums like in the past..

Be sure all posts with normal input of bugs without histeria development team is reading and put it in the list, if they are real bugs.

IN realtà a quanto sembra, Oleg Maddox ha abbandonato lo sviluppo di Cod già da tempo, per cui non è lui il responsabile ora.

In ogni caso si è abbondantemente capito che il simulatore è stato rilasciato largamente incompleto, per cui, sperando che non venga abbandonato lo sviluppo, dovrà migliorare per forza.

Come sostituto di IL2 per ora è inutilizzabile, quindi mettiamoci l'anima in pace.

Spero che il team di sviluppo si dia da fare, visto che ci sono sempre gli "entusiasti" del forum 1C che presumo abbiano acquistato il sim e quindi ne abbiano finanziato lo sviluppo per i prossimi mesi.

Per adesso però mi asterrò dall'acquistarlo, visto che non sono sicuro che giri sul mio pc ed è inutile adesso potenziare il proprio hardware, almeno finchè Cod non sarà fluido con decine di aerei sui pc più potenti.

Del resto non ho tempo e voglia per smanettare con config.ini, patches e contropatches per cercare di fare funzionare il giocattolo.

Aspetterò quindi che funzioni come si deve.

In ogni caso IMHO questa politica di rilasciare giochi programmati a metà non è corretta.
Gli sviluppatori di ROF furono onesti e dichiararono dall'inizio che si trattava di un Work in Progress, qui invece ci hanno sbandierato per anni la presenza di mirabilie di realismo e invece al punto in cui siamo, ci vorranno mesi prima di poterle apprezzare.

Weapons Addons

After almost 1 year of intensive work, data collecting and 1000s of hours testing i present you the Weapons addon that will be included by default in next UP. No more unfair performance for specific guns and cannons.
Every gun/cannon was trimmed not only regarding its actual performance but also in comparison with the rest guns/cannons in game.

After several months of testing we found that for some weapons, mainly small caliber guns and few of the cannons, there was the need to change their real life data so they could perform realistic and accordingly to the rest of the weapons.

Here is the methodology we used to achieve this:

A) if the performance of a weapons is lower or higher we tried to trim its penetration ability and explosive radius to achieve realistic performance.
B) If the above method was not enough to achieve this then the next step was to alter its belting to achieve satisfactory results.
C) If the above method was unsatisfactory then we tried to lower or increase the HE ammount of the bullet to achieve historical accuracy.

The characteristics that were not changed are the Rate Of Fire, the Bullets Weight and the Velocity.

Our data were mainly from the Flying Guns of WWII By Emanuel Gustin and Tony Williams, from Williams webpage here: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/
and from other reliable sources on the internet.

Now the testing methodology and our theory of the weapons damage in real life is this:

A) Theory of Weapons lethality in WWII:

Data taken from the Cartridge lethality table in Williams page: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/WW2guneffect.htm

Theory:

We know that historically it took in average 4bullets of a MG151/20 to down a fighter.
The average Cartridge Damage of a MG151/20 bullet is 151,67. SInce for bullets a needed to down a fighter plane, we can assume that 606,68 is the average damage that a fighter can take before he is going down.

Which leads us to the following table:
Weapon Dimension Cartridge Power Cartridge Damage Bullets/ Fighter
Browning.303 7.7x56R 1 10,25 (2x8.6/4x11) 59,5

The above conclusion/theory was made by Emil and it is the most correct approach we can have based on cartridge destructiveness in game as things like reliability of weapons are not taken into consideration by Game's engine.
Althoug this theory looks very valid Gryphon, from the War Birds Of Prey admins made a very logical point:
-------
Quote from: Gryphon

I've re-read the nildram reference and think that the above is the best methodology we are going to get. To explain why IRL it took only 4 hits from a MG151/20 to down a fighter, consider this: if I was sitting in a fighter and it got hit by any cannon shells, I'd be out of that fighter so damn fast all you'd see is a blur! WW2 fighters were notorious for catching fire or suffering structural failure such that the gyroscopic forces would prevent the pilot getting out. In game, different story. Pilots stay on board until the controls dont work, its burning, or otherwise terminal. So in game we must expect more than 4 hits for a kill. I think that's even true for the AI we test against - having shot down hundreds of them in the past few weeks, the AI rarely bails out, so our kills will take more hits than those the Luftwaffe found. Make sense?

So what I suggest is we factor that in and raise our total cartridge power delivered to target from 606 to 1000 (for the Yak-7, other will vary).

-----

That would give us the following hits per kill:

(All tables data calculated by Emil)

For the ShKAS and a couple of other small caliber guns i've took their muzzle energy and i calculated their destructiveness accordingly sine they used a known belting. Data for few small caliber guns like the SvAKS taken from here:

http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/Historic%20MGs.htm

B) Testing:

We tested the required bullets to take down a fighter as following:

I chose the Yak-1 as fighter because its Damage Model is one of the most adequate in game, it doesn't get fire quick, it does not have any "bugs" in its Damage Model, and it is a light fighter as it should.

Then Emil made a simple Co-operation mission in Bessarabia map having 20 Empty-Transit Rookie Yak-1 as targets.

Our test-planes have unlimited ammo and we shoot them until one of the following conditions occured:

A) Caught fire and explode
B) Lost controls and got into spiral dive or un-recovered dive
C) Pilot killed
D) Plane's wing or fuselage broke
E) Pilot bailed out

When all the 20 planes got shot down, we exit the co-op mission and then we calculated the hit bullets with the ammount of the planes, 20 in this case. The number that comes out is the Average bullets number for each plane.

All the guns in game tested and trimmed by using this method.
Here is an example of the co-op missions stats: (you have to start a Server and host a co-op being the only player).

The numbers below each report are the Average bullets number to bring a plane down with the tested weapon by dividing the total ammount of hit bullets with the number of the downed fighters (20).

Moreover 2 New types of cannons were created, the Type99-1 and Type99-2 for the Imperial Japanes navy fighters to replace the wrong Ho-5 that Il2 was using until now which was the cannon of the Army air force.
As my friend Stratodog said: "Yamamoto would be furious about this"

This is the first time that Every gun/cannon is trimmed in game with relation not only the historical performance but the relativenes with the other weapons as well

*
For the MG-17 the calculations did not take into consideration the fact that the Germans used a mix of Ball, Incendiary and Explosive bullets combined. Thus i have revised their Damage to around ~86 bullets per fighter.

Thumbs up Greetings to all Bob COD owners and new USA customers!
Hi everyone!

The game was finally released in the US yesterday (on the 19th) and is currently a #1 top selling Simulation title on steam!

For those who don’t know me, my name is Ilya Shevchenko, and I’m the Lead Development Producer on the title. I’ve been working on the Il-2 Sturmovik series since the very beginning, taking an increasingly larger role with each project, becoming a co-lead on Pacific Fighters (2004) and 1946 (2006), and finally taking over most day-to-day activities on Cliffs of Dover some time ago.

We’re a small team that consists 24 core employees and a handful of veteran outsourcers. Quite a few of us have also been with the IL-2 series since the very beginning 10 years ago.

We love simulations, and we take pride in what we do.

Here are some things to keep in mind about our game:

1. We the developers are a part of 1C-Softclub, Russia’s largest software developer and publisher. We are backed by a dedicated production team, and most importantly, our top management has complete faith in the team and in the product line. That means that the team is growing, we are hiring, and we’re not going anywhere.

2. If you’ve played our previous games, you know that we always support our products way past the release. We work on patches and add-ons, add new content, add new features, and we never abandon our projects.

3. The game you are playing today has always been envisioned as the first in the series. We are already working on a sequel as we continue to support and improve Cliffs of Dover.

4. We do not at this time have anyone doing community relations, which means we spend less time than we’d like to interacting with you, or rather, providing answers to your questions. We are up on these boards every day reading what you have to say, and it does often drive our design decisions and priorities.

5. You can meet more members of the team in my earlier post here, which also contains a sort of a rough roadmap of what we’re currently working on:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=24240

So, thanks for purchasing the game, thanks for your support, and please rest assured we will continue to support and expand Cliffs of Dover and the Il-2 Sturmovik series!
