I forgot to inform you about last week's BoS Developer's Diary update (#13), but here is a reminder.

BUT - on the same page is also Update #14 .. and.. IT IS FLYING!

Yeah, by the looks of it, IL2 is now imported into the game - well at least so much so they can test different lighting options. Look at these beauties!

All pics are taken in front of clouds, so I guess they don't want us to see the rest of the "map".. textures and other features, but it sure looks very promising. I kinda like clouds too - it's what was missing in CloD (among other things).
Also in the update is a video from the team's visit to an airfield with some airplay so to speak,  and of course - as usual - answers to the community's questions.

Well wasn't this a great way to end the work week?

Again  - Links to Update #13 and Update #14.

So, it's Friday again and the IL2 BoS Team, with =LOFT at the keyboard, is ready to give us yet another developer's diary update, this time with two screenshots from a cockpit.. namely the XXX... well what cockpit is it?

Unfortunately they don't have as much time to answer the community's questions as usual this time due to their upcoming release of a Rise of Flight Update, but there are still some goodies to be read.

Full developer's diary can be found here.

Sometimes it takes someone outside our crew to initiate a Big Wing :) 
It's been a while since we had our latest "official" Big Wing. We have had more sporadic trials, the Pe8 mission a few weeks back comes to mind - that is kind of how we do things these days.

Anyway, on the initiative from 5th Squadron, there will be two attempts to muster up our volunteers for a bomber/attack Big Wing with 5th flying cover. Sunday the 31 st (yeakh I know.. Easter) is the first one so those of you who have time and will, please saddle up and join formation. 

The 2nd attempt is the following Sunday - the 7th of April.
Please read the thread in the forum and let us know if you want to/can attend. Maybe we will end up like this again :)

Team Fusion has been working on a "non-official" patch for CLoD ever since the latest and final official patch was relased, We have seen clips from their work now and then in the forum and the shoutbox. For those of you who still have an interest in this title, please visit ATAG's forum to read more about additions and changes and download if you want to.
Note that you have to have an account on ATAG forum and logged in to view the forum thread.

Please note again though that this patch is NOT official  - LOFT from the BoS team (now consisting of members from both RoF and CloD - including IL2 1946 team members) commented on Team Fusion's work in one of the Diary updates:

Q: Now enthusiasts from ATAG themselves correct CloD (copyright for this game belongs to you). Whether any cooperation with this team?

A: So far none of them have tried to contact with me (or with anyone else from 1C-777) and discuss this possibility. This is a bad sign. They don't respect us. If there is no respect for other people's property, any dialogue is impossible. I hope that this is due only to the fact that this boys don't yet know what they want and what they have done. Therefore, they are shy.
