Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

It's gonna be a serious flight sim , no console port , only PC.
6 years in development so far by 1C maddox , they made il-2 sturmovik and all addons.

and probably will be for another 6

 

nah in latest update the main developer said they are finishing it ,
it means it's gonna be released in fall next year

 

Looks awesome. I need to get a new hotas .

 

This is the game that I will finally have to get a new PC to run properly. Can't afford one for a while yet, so I don't mind if this game is 'polished' for another couple of years!

 

That actually looks really good, i've been waiting for a good flight sim. How long has it been...5-6 years?

 

here is some older video

Sturmovik exists for quite some time...

 

Too bad Falcon 4 is still the king huh?
Stop milking WW2 damn it, it isn't fun anymore

 

Holy fuck, I'll buy a decent joystick for this. I've always wanted into flight sims but couldn't.

 

It looks really good.

 

What else to milk? Can`t have new shit, might come out as politically incorrect

 

Il-2 is a great flight sim, I expect this to be more of the same.

 

7 years already. In 2003 it was planned to be released 2005, and everyone went omg that's still over two years.

Not all will live to see SoW. If you're a mortal being you could play BoB2 in the mean time. http://www.shockwaveproductions.com/for ... 118d064b56

This is why PC >xbawks


It's nice to see also that main developer is answering questions on their forum and even youtube.

 

I stopped reading there....

 

You don't understand the eastern mindset on developing games.

First il-2 was developed 5 years.Oleg maddox (main dev) started working on it in 1996 and finished it in 2001. His plan was to make an engine that could last atleast 10 years , and his plan worked. Il-2 community is still big even today.
With the Storm of War he expanded his goal and make an even more universal engine that can be even further expanded not only for flight sims but for other games also. The game is very detailed , it is a flight sim but have complex mechanics for vehicles also.

While western developers make games and engines that are obsolete over 1-2 years his plan is to have an engine for the next 10 years.

The constant updates , interaction with the community and information provided from him single handledly is something that all western developers should look upon to.




Short version for ADHD kwas :

It's not a turd served by every game company but a quality product.

 

The graphics actually look fairly good. Perhaps it is the use of color.

What's with all the crashing reports I hear on review sites? Is it just one of those games that needs to have hyperthreading/multi core use disabled?

 

Reviews of what ? Il-2? because SoW is not out yet.


Il-2 never crashed for me so idk , and i have the opposite of what you said.
The game does not use 2 cores by default. You can tweak a ini file to enable 2nd core and speed up loadings.

 

Rowan's Battle of Britain

 

I never said why i stopped reading there.
Actually it is because i'm looking forward for the game.
Those facts you previously listed are more then enough for me to believe this will turn out decent.

 

Battle of Britian is made by Rowan it has nothing to do with this game.


Storm of War is being made by 1C Oleg maddox , who made il-2 sturmovik and addons

Ok , usualy when someone says that he 'stopped reading there' it means he thought it was shit.

Oleg delivers

Shitty western developers can only bow down

 

Those graphics are pretty awesome.

 

Very.. immersive.

What about multiplayer? Deathmatch, Capture the Flag is on, something special? Can i hide behind some bigass clouds and then pop up behind an enemy plane and do a cockpit headshot?
