Hi Jan,

that link takes me to a Microsoft site. Can't see the list. Am I missing something ?

coolness.

I'm not going to give it all away, mostly because it's too hard to explain in detail, and partly because it's still a work-in-progress.

By far the biggest change is the screen res has been increased to 1024*768, so whilst we still haven't got an adjustable screen size, we do have more real-estate to use.

The next most notable aspect is the dorky borders are gone. The map starts at the screen edge on the left, and right under the top bar at the top.

Tied in with that, is the right-hand control panel is now gone also - so the map stretches from the left to right panels. When plotting allied missions you can see from Land's End all the way to Poland in the one screen. I think we've over doubled the visible east-west map, and made a modest improvement to north-south.

Basically, I looked at the Uncommon Valour and War Plan Orange screen shots, and realised I liked the layouts, so I kept them in mind while designing the new ED/BTR layouts. Things aren't the same, but they are reminscent of these other games. It's really made a huge difference to mission planning and axis reaction.

There's more, but I just wanted to whet your appetite first, and remind you that we are head down, a*** up...

thats my censoring...

Well we getting there

7500 +


as you can see, there still areas I am weak on, anybody got any better info on the SAAF ? for some of the other Allies, remember, that game sees the nationality based on the Unit it is in, so a Pole in a GB Squadron is seen as a GB pilot

Sir, got to disagree

I understand that the game is developed part-time, but and' true also thet and' three years that i wait for the game ( coming soon).

I don't want to be opening closests or bringing out dirty launry and other stuff like that, that is in the background, and is not and should not be out in the open, but got to say, it is not 3 years that the anousements were made about the game, and it is not 2 years that we have been working on it, as I said, I am not going to go into details on the background of the game or the background of how the game is/was coming togeather


How client of Matrix i am not happy, everythngs for attends him, second for the mystery that winds the everything...In my job i must give certain answers to my clients and not vague news or answered offensive as me and happened to receive in the forum when i asked news on the presumed date of exit of the game

I do not follow, I answer almost every question when I can, I think you will find that I answer more questions then almost anybody in my postion

I do not give vague answers or news, if I know the answer I tell what I know, if I don't know, I do try and say that I do not know

and I have never given out any type of date for when I expect the game to be released, I have said, that once David gives me the go ahead on saying something, I will be the first to start giving out ideas on the time/date

(now a statement like the 12th of Never, is not meant as a off reply, anyone who knows me or reads my posts, know what I am saying)

You said you spent 10 hours on polish names - don't forget the Gregory Peck line in 12 o'clock high - those are his boys and he's more worried about them
than missions.

As the overall commander all my usa pilots could be named smith - I am worried about available aircraft. The big picture is playabliity the historical detail can be filled in later.

Hassle is, there are more reasons then just having planes to fly the missions, you burn though all of the pliots I give you, you are going to have trouble getting the mission done, now to each there own and what not, and if you don't want to mirco manage or even look at the pliot lists, that is fine, but you are still going to want to keep your real pilots alive, you don't, shame on you :)
