Feldgrün Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I love the damage modeling (DM) in IL2 Cliffs of Dover/Desert Wings. That sim does a lot of things well, but the best is their DM. I hope for something similar in this sim.

Lusekofte Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 We can always hope. Damage model in clod is probably best in business. I would not expect such a degree of ambitions. But I hope for a much better engine damage than timers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I would much rather a different solution was found instead of timers. Really hope the damage model goes beyond cosmetic and impacts flight systems appropriately based on where the damage was taken. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalCustard Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Along with the flight model the damage model for me will be of the most interest. I certainly hope that it won't be the case as in other sims where the DM is woeful one shot wonders. Bombers in particular and certainly "heavies" could take some serious punishment. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroAce Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Let's not forget that the complexity of CLOD aircraft was a factor that resulted in it being released in a terrible state so be careful what you wish for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, seems like they modelled a lot of stuff that didn't need to be modelled. I think DCS is going the virtual museum route, which is a fine and noble goal but it adds massively to workloads. The trick in any game is showing enough to convince the player, without adding extra fluff. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusekofte Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Clod had many reasons for ifs fall. It was simply ahead of its time. But still having those ambitions today still means a lot of coding and might not be what we are looking for. we all got our preferences, and they can’t all be met. But I think Jason knows what this going to be measured by. And will probably go for better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrMurf Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Agreed, Jason has a really good handle on balancing wants and needs. BoX massively improved after he took the lead. It was a mess before his touch and is a mess after his departure as well. I'm sure this will inch closer to DCS and CloD for fidelity without losing sight of the overall gameplay, eye candy, and user experience.

LOL We’ll do our best to give you something cool. Lots of work ahead till we get there though. Jason 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
