Curious what's under the Exam page on the bottom of the UI.

I guess it's test if you have remembered each instruments is for what.Chinese pilots used to do this when training.They have to draw instrument panel from memory.

Really looking forward to the release, and I cannot wait to see the "new layer of interaction" that's in the Founders Edition being shown off. I really like the new UI and see the huge formations of B-29's. Very impressed so far!

New pilot training missions?

More or less this, yes. 

[AcesDarthBubu]

Looks so good. Any context to it? All full fidelity AIs or simplified AIs?

[Shinobimono]

"Museum" pages, it's top notch. Looks very useful and UI is fine.

But still no shadow from pilot's head. Is it OK for 2026?..

I wonder if there are new options to build large bomber formations in the mission editor. At the moment it's a pain to keep them in formation.

[Rocho]

It looks good, although I am not convinced by the flames on the damaged bomber, very similar to those of IL2 GB.

Everything is work in progress and subject to change.

[LuftManu]

That was great! Feels like a next generation il-2

 

Ui is awesome and seeing the museum in real time brings back memories of the old sims! 

Great work!

Even the other BlitzPigs, who are a very skeptical bunch, have commented in our forum on how good the gameplay trailer looks.  The general consensus is "sexy".  High praise from those guys.

[ArgonV]

Very sexy indeed, great to see this. I'm sold on the game-play thus far!

[LukeFF]

Today, one of the galaxy's finest pilots, Obi-Wan Kenobi, tried out our newest simulator at the game exhibition Igromir. As you can see, he loved it!

It's gonna be carrier ops. I don't get why they make these vague statements. Just say what your doing especially when you are asking for that kind of money upfront.

But the flying is for droids.

It is quite common these days to offer DLC without stating the exact features or providing an exact roadmap. Some people like mystery, others don't.

Anyway, there will almost certainly be a point before release where the features are fully announced. So we'll have the best of both worlds, no?

That is not clear. They may release the carriers for non-DLC owners as well.

Well yes, they likely will; in GB all ground objects are available to anyone so I don't see why that would be different. Especially since carriers are a bit useless with the announced plane set; perhaps the Mustang can take off/land on them but that's the only one. 

[Aapje]

I remember making it a challenge to land sideways on the landing strip in Their Finest Hour, but that was probably only possible due to the fake flight model. Still, we may see people make it happen.

Nothing has been announced officially regarding carriers (except perhaps a possible hint or two). Assuming they are added, it would seem likely that the AI objects may be present for everyone, but some of the functionality may not (e.g. non-carrier aircraft have trouble operating from a carrier, or some carrier features might be simplified).

However, we don't know... and we won't until sometime after they are announced (assuming carriers are coming at all).

I do suspect everyone would be allowed to bomb them though!

Luke has said this:

"Work on carrier tech is well underway for Korea and will eventually come, yes"

I'd take that as a statement about tentative plans... not an official announcement (something which will happen as part of an official development update posted to the website).

[Aapje]

It's not a tentative plan when they are already working on it.

Although theoretically it could be released after the DLC, although that makes little sense.

We've come a long way! Show Korea's footage to someone in that time and he would be amazed 😄

I played it in black and white too, so it looked way worse than that.

I am from that time, and that is probably why I'm so amazed!

P.S. Nice to see some other people who remember the dawn era!
