[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

What were you flying last nite?
:hmm:
I just got IL-2 1946 but haven't installed it yet.
Need to get a good Joy Stick first.

Does the Force feed back work with IL-2?
I'm a newbee doo be do with that game.
(But I am looking at file formats )

Aaaaagh, my turn to reply to you Mr. Privateer.

1. Please do yourself a favor and get MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick from ebay. They don't produce them anymore. It's most likely the best joy you can get. I got 2 of them. One as a backup.

2. Yes, FF works well with IL-2

3. As for IL-2 1946, upgrade to the current 4.09 beta patch version. Some nice goodies there.

4. Ok and a shameless plug for myself and our Slovak team. We did some heavy work for IL-2 in last 4 years:

Don't forget to check out the Slovakia map video.

5. Sorry for off-topic

I've been away from here for a while because I'm back in Australia at the moment, but I've finally found some time to continue to work on the S-Boot skin.
Here's some shots of the almost completed skin. Theres still a few refinements I want to make. Let me know if you have any suggestions.








I've also come up with a torpedo door sound that works pretty well for both opening and closing.

[TarJak]

Boris,

It's is looking great. Maybe adding some scuff marks on the leading edges of the hull below the torpedo tubes where the torps have rubbed off a bit of the paintwork as they are fired and some soot staining around the exhaust ports would give it a used look.

[Jimbuna]

It's looking very nice Boris

I've yet to d/l the mod,still waiting for a final release (hopefully compatable with GWX2.1).

Your work just makes me more impatient

[Letum]

Playing in the balck sea, I got a lot of hurricanes attacking me.
but they all left after dropping their bomb.

As long as they missed it wasnt a problem.

Nice to see you're still at it

@Jim : it will have to wait for GWX 2.1 to be quite "full" so you guys better press the attack
Anyway if it's ready before 2.1 I will upload an "intermediate" version so that everyone can finally enjoy all the new visual stuff.

By the way, last time I played I got really annoyed by the pesky aircrafts and I'm thinking of removing them. That sounds a bit extreme I know, but that would allow you to concentrate on the real thing : hunting/escaping ships.
I think I could keep the level bombers and just delete the fighters and light bombers.
What do you guys think ?

Good man.....I'll hang on for a 2.1 compatable version.

Removing the aircraft could well turn into a mammoth task.....your best bet might be just to remove the airbases, but (certainly in my case) that would mean an additional install of 2.1 would/may be required.

[Syxx_Killer]

I haven't used this mod in quite a while now because I am waiting for the 2.1 version, too. I do follow this thread quite closely and will be one of the first to download the new version!

Added to the poor skills of my gunners (qualified petty officers) I end up spending 10 minutes zigzaging, waiting and wasting tons of ammo.
On the other hand it would sure be a tedious task to remove every aircraft from the campaign layers. I'll wait for GWX 2.1, and if I don't feel as lazy as right now then I'll see to make adjustments to suit the mod :hmm:

Rgr that....shouldn't be toooooo long
