Explosion
Good night, morning, day or even evening. It's always hard to tell when you are speaking with so many different time zones. Well it's kind of midnight now at our place.

And in today's video we would like to mix our serenity with some dynamics of artillery. Point your gun at the airfield with some planes on it and a small city nearby South, then fix your camera, and watch how shells create a vid. Enjoy!

Net Team Work
Hi there. We would like to continue our "Thursday nights tradition" and present you with new update on our blog. This time instead of just screenshots you will get a brand new video. We made this vid on our computers at the office, so the actual size may vary, but I do hope that it will demonstrate our current progress.

Why do we need a multiplayer mode in our game? To find out who is the best? Or to prove to everyone that I'm the best? I think we need this mode to find more friends. Multiplayer game will bring you absolutely new experience when you can fight together or just simply fly with your friends. To tell you the truth we have been involved in multiplayer game ourselves and sometimes during the test flights I can catch myself forgetting about the fact that I'm actually familiar with the first code line. Wright brothers had a dream to get man into the sky and today we feel the same passion. After all this developing we would like to explore our game world and we would like you to join us.

In this vid Viks and I where just testing how good is our network protocol in terms of data transmission and aircraft positioning. This is a key factor for smooth visualization of the other players' aircraft. At this stage we believe that we are done with this task and now we will put our effort into network optimization and bug fixing.

I'll see you all soon, buy till next Thursday

Clouds
Today we with designers considered and discussed clouds in our project. And, off course, we thought about what's done and what else it's necessary to do.

For those of you who has come across us in a network for the first time, I'll tell you what we dreamt about. We wanted our clouds to be not simply typical scenery necessary for the project, connected with aircraft and the sky. They should be something important, that we imagine when we tell "to fly in clouds". Therefore we created new technologies and searched for new ways. This problem (as well as all in modelling) appeared huge - of course we only managed to come closely to revelation available for everyone - if he is not too lazy to lift a head.

For admirers of a genre I will add that we also wished to make clouds an object of game. Because of cloud's huge size air fight near to it is the cascade of maneuvers which can hide you from the opponent or help to approach without a notice. We have achieved much, and work on system of weather is ahead which will make the sky even more live, and flight - even more fascinating.

-ArgonV after pulling all of his hair out over the last 4 years

In expectation of FS-WWI Plane Pack 5, and to further the completion of the FS-WWI mod for SDOE I have decided to further enhance the Somme terrain in light of Recon3s texture improvements.

You read that correctly! After years of development it is finally ready for public testing. I intend to have this up for at least a couple of months so users can get a chance to try it out and report back any bugs or errors they may find. Please, please download this and try it out. :)

Information for downloading and installing FS-WWI Plane Pack 5 and all of the required files can be found here:

Please report any bugs you find in the 'FS-WWI Plane Pack 5 Public Beta Bug Listing' post.
