Battle of Britain (1968) - Sim version

[airboatr]

Not one to play kill'm games.... the aircraft cockpit detail in this screenie I grabbed from the video
almost makes it worth while having my arse shot at just to have a good look around in there.

Seeing models fish tail like that brings back memories of CFS.. a smashing sim despite the bugs

CFS was a lot of fun wasn't it? If you couldn't shoot down your opponent you could always just dive down onto the deck and let him chase you around a bit...he'd eventually plow himself into the ground trying to get at you. An excellent video by the way!!

Oleg did mightily well with the old IL2 series, and this video is a nice appetizer for his new Battle of Britain sim which comes out next month.

Well in that case I will just HAVE to buy it

Sadly my P4 300 and GForce 780GS with 2 GB RAM is far too low to contemplate buying it
Oh well, back to commercial flying I suppose.

Late Edit: Will be released for XBox 360 so not going to lose out after all. Now just need to get myself a proper joystick for it!!

Indeed Peter. Have a look at this recent screenshot; notice how the self-shadowing falls across the Blenheim observer's back and follows the contours of his parachute harness webbing and the collar of his lifejacket. Just incredible!

I notice also that the engines are shutdown.. no RPM, no boost, no oil pressure, no airspeed and no altitude. Impressive shadowing though

Sorry Dave, but it has to be said.....


GET OUT MORE!




in my own defence can I just say that I wrote that instead of 'wtf Bill G are we saddled with something that needs a dual core Cray gazillion blealrthleathl lllll.......processor when Oleg can do this.....6 YEARS before you?!?!?!?!?!?!?!'


Thank you, nurse, I will have my nightcap now.....

[DaveB]

Cheers Colin..

I looked at the shadowing and then looked at the instruments.. as you do.. at least I do and there they are.. dead. I'd like to think that a 'latest' screenie of a sim being pushed as realistic was a little less staged Good shadowing though

If getting out more means not staying in to fly models with non-functioning instruments, I think I will
