bloody hell! I can't wait to get my hands on that game! Any progress or are the project dead?

I am certainly hopeful for the release of Knights of the Sky. I've been playing First Eagles for some time now, sifting through fantastic mods that the FE community has created and such, but I must say that my overall disappointment lies with the company as well as the game's creators. I've been reading through Thirdwire's forums and they seem pretty content on leaving the game as a skeleton, although a patch was recently released to fix numerous issues, the AI still is one of the worst I've ever encountered. I still feel that FE has much potential, but I don't think the following is great enough to keep it afloat...or rather in the air:lol:


However, concerning Knights of the Sky...word has it that not much except skins and missions will be able to be added much in the same manner as IL2 1946, but correct me if I'm wrong on that. I am hopeful nonetheless.;)

Lots of :
- It was supposed tu use IL2 engine, but then they developed their own.
- They merged with another team developing a WWI sim.
- The guy developing FM is the same as Lock-On.
- Demo scheduled for summer, release for fall 2007.
- Recomended minimum should be PIV 3.0 and Ge6600GT.

Ever get that feeling that something REALLY important is missing, but you can't quite put your finger on it?

Yep, happens to me all the time. :rotfl:

If I am not mistaken 1c is Madocs, and he was one of the guys behind creating IL2.:hmm:

This could be a good thing.

This is a Sim I am looking forward to as much as SH4.

1C is the publisher, Oleg Maddox is the father of IL2 and has his hands busy on the new WWII flight sim. Storm of War or something like that. ;)

The Best flight sim you never played..Flanders Fields.

That plane can take one hell of a beating.

The damage model has been improved in 1946.

Good God Moby! Keep 'em comin'! I want to see MORE of OFF, now when I can't play it myself!:damn:

Back on the IL:2 furums I liked to find ways to abuse the physics.

Who has the patience to wait until touchdown to fold wings?

Simple trick, someone asked if it were posible to invert moments before a landing. This was done with one attempt, it's standard stuff.

People on the Ubi forums were saying that hangars were too easy. Obviously I did this to prove them right.

The full sized version of this was my desktop for a LONG time.

On the bright side, the explosion this resulted in took out an undamaged bomber flying in the formation. Why the meatball? I prefer the Japanese quick mission music.

This was my shot to prove I had the patch and to prove the smokestack was also too easy.

I was the first to do this as my old UBI screen name, Yog_Shoggoth. I was inspired when I chased a zeke in a corsair and didn't pull up fast enough to clear the deck. I went through this hole and just lost my right wing. That ment the hole was real and not filled in. I tried it about 30 times in a buffalo before I decided that particular plane was too big and tried the Salamander. Got it my second attempt. Again, I hate the German Quick Mission tune, so I flew American.

Ejected aboutt a quarter second before the plane blew.

Game could look great, too.

All on full realism of course.
A moment of silence for all the virtual pilots that were slammed into hangars, decks of carriers, hulls of carriers, or the good old fashioned ground to bring you these pictures.

@Dan:

:rotfl: When you took those Screenshots I was already somewhere on the ground. in that MP mission :yep: .

PE-2 aka Swiss Cheese :lol:

I like the Pe-2. The Bombsight is simple, great fun to see your bombs hit the target. ;)

Yeah , the mission we played we had to bomb a Airfield and it went well (the bombing ofcourse) I manage to drop the lot on a bunch of AA nests.

if you feel like we could do the mission tonight :yep: the flaks on the airfield are real killers :dead:

Thanks Biggles..I take her back up this weekend..:sunny:

You don't look too good

All the others are all things I would try and do, but this one is just a classic and probably not reproducable. Great shot! :up: What a way to go!
