another BoB

Is it allowed to post screenshots from any other sims? If not, please delete this thread, and accept my apologies. If it is, I'd love to hear what you think. 3 BoB2 shots with barely no editing.

I will say you what I think... IL-2 is better.

I hope BoB SoW will bring to Oleg's world some of interesting things from BoB2 (bigger formations and great air combats, and a better sky).

Regards.

ThanksSmile

Ok, it's up to everyone's taste. I play both. I prefer Il2's graphics, and visuals, but as a sim I find BoB2 more immersive - I'm an offliner, so BoB2's outstandingly realistic AI is a big advantage for me.

Maybe import files from SOW BOB to Il-2 will be possible?

OK, as soon as you show me a Spit cockpit in Il2 Big Grin

Alien: the first steps have been made, I posted a new bullet hit sound mod, where the files were taken from BoB2. Check it out, and tell me what you think.

..wait...it ain't SOW BOB, but BOB2 Wings of Victory.

I've had BoB II since it came out.. It's cracking in some ways, but just is not in the same mold as IL2..
I've had immense fun with it, but even with the improved patches etc, the main immersion killer for me is the ground scenery and textures..

Yeah, I agree with Trooper with regards to the ground textures-its too 2d.

I wish we could have that cockpit as the default one for the Spit mk 1. Seeing as though you could use bullet/hit sounds, would this be possible Reflected?

I don't think so...let's wait for Avalas new cockpit texturesSmile
Yes, for me too the 2d terrain is the biggest problem. I wonder if some of the AAA map makers could create a whole new one for BoB2...that game would kick some serious @sses :twisted:

My experience with that bob is similar to Trooper's, terrain is bad.

BoB WoV has better cockpits. Their 2D textures are not so rich (but have in mind, much richer than "the stock" in IL2) but I think that 3D model and specially texture organizing is much better than we have in IL2. In IL2 half of the cockpits textures are shared, stretched or skewed, so it is hard to texturize it good. In BoB WoV instrumenst are working, and in IL2 half of the gauges and instruments are just decorations (and bad one too).

So, it would be good to transfer 3D model and texture organizing from BoB WoV to IL2 and then retexturize it Big Grin

Here it is reflected Tongue

Nice shots. I LOVE the combat in BoB2, and love the acceleration, and speeds - but I HATE the ground. I mean, come in slightly too hard, or let your wing tap the ground, and your plane sets on fire :roll:
That completely kills it for me - Can't even make a wheels up landing. Love it though. I've flown aobut 4 missions in my 610 squadron campaign, and have 4 victories, iirc, and been HEAVILY damaged 2 times - was flying back from combat with smoking engine - still about 10 miles from home base, and my engine sets on fire - luckily I managed to land at a closer base.

Wheels up landing is possible in BOBII but the margin for error is very small.
