Visual questions

[trk29]

Anton I have a couple questions about the game again. In the videos it is hard to tell but does the water actually move or is it a static image? I noticed the dynamic lighting on the water looks awesome.

Also will the canopy of the cockpit get bullet holes in it and will it cloud up with smoke if the engine gets damaged?

Thanks

I think it wouldn't only be neat to see bullet holes, but with blood on them as well if you're shot.

Sweet the holes, and smoke will be there thanks Anton for not answering directly.

[Anton Yudintsev]

Actually, I've missed the first question. :)
So, there are holes in cockpit, and smoke from engine - separately.
But no smoke from holes in cockpit, sorry.

What about the water? Does it move or is it static?

Haven't get this one.
What do you mean by 'move'? Flows and falls of tide caused by the Moon?
Waves?
Animation of water surface?

Yes all of that does the water flow, and fall of tide move up and down, waves. Yes animation of water surface.

[Anton Yudintsev]

There is only animation of water surfaces.
No storms with really huge waves also.

Anton is there going to be aircraft that can land and takeoff on the water?

Okay, thanks for the info Anton.

Question. Can our engines suffer oil leaks if hit? Like having oil splattering on the canopy etc.?

[trk29]

Okay, thanks for the info Anton.

That's what I was trying to ask him.

[Roadie]

And will there be waterdrops at the windscreen, wings and so on, if we are flying through a cloud? Will there be icing at coldness?

[Anton Yudintsev]

Okay, thanks for the info Anton.

Not this game.
There are no special planes for that, and it was practically possible only on a still water.
May be in a sequel, though.

Thank you. I bet the oil and bullet holes are going to look fantastic. Can't wait!!

yeah thanks for the answers anton

[Douglas Bader]

Yes.

Way to go Anton. Again you managed to answer our questions. Very happy with TRK's questions because this gives us some more information how detailling will be in game. Thanks!!!!

[trk29]

Yes.

Anton can you describe why in some pictures of the cockpit we see the aiming reticle and sometimes we do not?

[Desode]

Anton can you describe why in some pictures of the cockpit we see the aiming reticle and sometimes we do not?

Well if its like sturmovik pc, some of the planes had the aiming reticle off to the side instead of in the center of the cockpit. So you had to change to view to see the crosshairs on the reticle. Certian planes where like this and others had the reticle right in the center of the cockpit.

Well in the main video it has the glass square for the reticule and there is not crosshairs off to the side but the reticule is not in the glass square.
I believe this is the spitfire. What are we supposed to aim with?

First pic is the Hurricane and there is no reticule because it's taken from a replay vid and the second cockpit is the Il-2.

[trk29]

But why would the the reticule not be there in the replay?

[jt_medina]

I think that one picture has been taken in arcade mode and the other one in higher level of realism. Maybe the pic without reticule does have some kind of auto aiming.

But I am just speculating.

The reason is, that first screenshot was taking from cockpit of damaged plane.
Something (bullet?) has damaged light source, and reticule disappeared.
However, it was one of the first trailers. Now, we've changed damage model, and it is impossible to destroy only reticule (because, yeah, it really looks buggy, not realistic).

The reticule looks sweet in the secon pic awesome job.
Thanks Anton

[jt_medina]

I agree it looks really good.

[trk29]

Anton can you shed some light on what the red and white icon in the bottom left hand corner of the secon pic is?
And the number 4?

Hmm, kinda looks like a lawn mower to me...

And the sights look sweet. I like the excuse for the first pic... thats actually quite AWESOME if i do say so myself.

[trk29]

It looks like to me that it is a ground target (bombing mission) and there is 4 left to destroy.

[Stanrosquain]

Will be possible to use the light of plane in night mission ?

[Spitfire23]

Anton can you shed some light on what the red and white icon in the bottom left hand corner of the secon pic is?

yea it could be the number of targets left.

i personally think the little icon represents Flak. but thats just me

[trk29]

Anton did you see this?
