We met last time in Sept.
We should definately go to the SMF to see the planes again this year.

First off: the view system is critical. With the advent of TrackIR, flight simming has taken a quantum leap in immersion. The mouse panning feature and its integration with TrackIR is considered by many hardcore flight simmers as the current state-of-the-art.
Many people posted on the CFS3 boards that without this feature integrated into their flight sim, they would not be buying their product.
In addition to TrackIR, there is also the idea of how padlocking will work. Those without a TrackIR system have no way to compete with those who do unless padlock is available. But a padlock that acts like 360 degree radar finder is NOT what anyone, especially us padlockers want. IL-2 uses a system where you have to actually mouse pan to be looking at the planes on your monitor before padlock will lock onto them.
I really hope KOE utilizes padlock in much the same way.
Next:
Online playability: More is better. flying 4 vs 4 gets pretty boring fast. If the graphics can be toned down as an online option so that the game can hold more people then I am sure many would happily scale back the graphics to get better fps and have larger multiplayer games. 32 players online pretty much does the trick. Plus, of course, if it can also handle AI planes online, that's even better. Then up to 50 planes online would be fine, IMO.
Single player campaign. If you've played Red Baron, I needn't say anymore.
Good luck to you all. I can't wait to buy your sim.

What we need are modellers who have 3D Studio Max. If you have it and would like to try your hand at making models, then email me at:
ww1project@attbi.com
Even if you are just a beginner, it's a great way to learn about modelling from people who know what they are doing.

Still, I believe the Camel beats the tar out of the D7. Back when I flew RB all the time and the Camel was my plane of choice, only ButcherBird could give me a challenge. It's all about timing, which after flying IL-2 so much lately, my timing was all off during the duel.
I believe people's systems have some say over things. But I don't believe it did in my duel.

It obviously won't keep out dishonorable or disruptive players. Just check out the recent Bedchek/Voss fiasco on WOV to see the lack of stringent enforcement of any dishonorable behaviour that goes on. Everyone's too eager to give people 2nd, 3rd, 10th chances, rendering any attempt to create an environment of honorable players impossible.
In Iron Skies, the new online war for Forgotten Battles, we have a simple rule: If one squad says "No, we don't want him/them in our game, then we tell them sorry, you are not accepted here"
Seems elitist but it's the only way to run a war and limit the trouble makers.
Since the people of Red Baron seem incapable of enforcing their code of honor, I fail to see what possible advantage would lie in belonging to the RBPA.

You can pan around with your mouse to find things. You have to be looking at the enemy to padlock him.
These things plus the incredible graphics make IL-2 the perfect sim for flying WW1planes. Plus when Forgotten Battles is released, it will have a campaign system much like Red Barons, but even MORE in depth.
