Pragr

It's 14.5$ for Kindle, according to my amazon.com. Where did you find it for 9? Or it was due Black Friday?

I've thought this is possible in Czech Republic only. Now, when I can see this level of stupidity is common all around the world I can feel happier

No doubt that main use of flares during WWII period was at emergency case. I read about the Hs-129 squadron and several pilots mentioned using flares, when they were unable to use radios or couldn't set the radio contact with their wingman. They were used even during cooperation between fighters and bombers, because they not shared the common radio frequency. I think it's good to have flares in BoS. And as in RoF where we use them mainly during emergencies or for randez vous purpose I think the same kind of use will be in BoS.

First video made during the BoS. That's how it runs without any special settings except all ingame set for max. The video was converted by youtube so it lost on quality. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90E5IZIgJh4&feature=youtu.be[/YOUTUBE]

OK, I should say I've never played TF 4.0 patch. Only the 3.0. The "better than CloD" is more about the personal preferences. I'm not sure if every particular part of BoS is better, but the environment seems like in real world (those snow plains are unbelievable) and the scratches on the cockpit hood gives the feeling you're really sitting in the cockpit. That's something I always missed while in CloD. The world around in BoS gives better immersion. At least for me. I'm really curious what your opinion will be.

Ok, it's time for first experience. It's absolutely fantastic. I flew WWIIOL, Il-2, CloD, DCS and RoF but this is even better. I'm really really excited about the game But now more useful information. There is basic setup of my PC: Intel i5 750 2.67 GHz (the first batch of i5 processor) 4 GB RAM GeForce GTX660Ti 1650x1080 monitor Windows 7 64bit Except the graphical card the PC is four years old now. The card is like 1.5 year old. I never reinstalled it so the system itself is a bit messy atm. I installed the game and setup the highest visual setting. With this settings the game is running like this: 30-40 fps under the fast low level flight (belly on deck almost) and on widest field of view. 40-50 fps at about 1 km of altitude and on widest FOV. 60-85 fps at about 1 km of altitude and on maximum zoom in (narrowest FOV)

Download up BoS I started update and it runs between 1 000MB/s and 1 500MB/s. Seems not bad atm. EDIT: Game installed in some 30 minutes.

Developer's video of the early access BoS. There are some useful information about installation, setup and so on.

I'm still waiting for the special award from Zak. According to his reaction on my guess of November 19th, I think I earn it Btw, today they announced the early access of Standard Edition would be on early December this year. I wonder if they'll be able to keep it. In all way I'm looking forward.

Great job. They all look nice but the D.Va is the best. You definitely got my voice. S!

Pre-order will end November 11. Then early access start couple days later. So I wasn't far from the date with November 19 as my guess DevDiary 37

I posted on BoS forum today that I think the open date of premium access will be 19th November (the operation Uran anniversary). Just for fun. But...

I'm not sure if this is valid still, but never checked the "Super Sampling" option in graphic setup. It kills fps by huge.

I think the RoF system is well designed. There are no general debris. Only real part (smaller or bigger) falling from the planes. Sometimes they fall due your fire, sometimes they fall as a result of exceeding Gs, sometimes it's a combinations of both. In example, Albatros fighters suffer from loosing ailerons in hard G turns or too high diving speed, Nieuport is loosing its rudder. If they lost one, it flies in the air until it hit the ground. When they're in the air, you can collide with them and damage your plane. Few days ago I flew through the desintegrated FE.2b and collided with several pieces (luckilly it wasn't wing). Once I collided with the Nieuport wing (which he lost when exceeded G force during the dogfight). It broke strutters and the main spar of my left wing. It was "nice" to see how the wing damage becoming more serious, when I exceeded some 150km/h. The 15 minutes of really slow descending from 3 km of altitude, while I feared if my wing break definitely and I die and loose the 50 kills streak or if the wing keeps on is something I never experience in CloD It's nothing against CloD I like that sim. Here is a picture of my Halb D.II after the collision with debris of FE.2: http://imageshack.us/a/img802/15/74o3.jpg I hope it helps a bit to get a slightly better view on things around a BoS. Btw, the good online campaign is something I'm waiting for since the Falcon 4.0 I hope we will see it in the BoS sometimes in the future, but I'm not sure it will be in the BoS itself. It's hard to say if developers have enough time to implement something like this in short time they have. I hope BoS will be something like basic construction and if it would be successful, the next additions will bring us new theaters, planes and features like multiplayer online generator (either coop or PvP style).
