A good point there about REX. However, REX does 'look right', if you get my drift. As I have said before, from the video leeked a few months ago showing the spit in the clouds, the clouds there seemed to 'react' amazingly. If their look could just be nailed then it would be awesome. Currently, these clouds just don't look realistic as they don't have flat bottoms or any characterisitics that one would associate with clouds. Colour is a different issue. Perhaps I was wrong to mention that in my original post, but it was just my immediate observation. Perhaps putting it into the BoB context was wrong, as obviously the shots could come from QMB.

And to all, why do you care so much what I say? It was just my observation to Oleg. You may not care about the colour of A/C lettering, but posts by forum members were noticed and now shots have been posted showing the grey lettering. The same goes for knit-picking details about the A/C. I have waited for a 'cinematic' game for years, and I just think that in some categories the shots aren't showing that. I know everything is WIP, but if everyone said it was perfect that's just false hope. Many details in the game have been rectified due to forum comments, so all I wanted was for Oleg to answer a question I have had, since the first shots were posted, about clouds. It's an important part of the sim for me. It may not be for you, but that's your business. Pick apart people's posts. Your just wasting your time. Put me on ignore if you care so much. It won't stop me from posting what I think. Why? because I don't care what you all think as you are just virtual people. You aren't talking to me face-to-face, so don't try and pretend that you know what I am thinking, or indeed feel that I need to explain myself to you. I have no beef with anyone, but getting flame for posting an obersavtion is damned silly. I wasn't even whining; my post just got blown way our of proportion. So stop picking apart people's posts and get a life. If you have the time in your day to that then clearly you need this game to come out...

and that's their first mistake!

It was me who said the the Terrain looked bad, i said it looked like a child has painted it. Someone tell me that it doesn't, I can only say what i see. No offence to anyone of course.

Okey so, you're ugly and I can only say what i see, but don't be offended.
Good logic.

why do italian pilots have bigger heads than hurri pilots?





:D

Except you can't see Tree, so great observation...

It's just plain childish. That's the kind of thing I'd have said in primary school.

Im not offended, because you haven't seen me, I have seen the terrain and so have you, thats why your attacking me rather than defend the terrain, because at the moment it doesn't look good from high altitude. I dont think anyone can argue with that.

Thanks for the update Oleg :grin:

Enough about REX clouds already. They look awesome as a backdrop to a static screenshot, undoubtedly, but look bloody awful if you try flying around them and through them (that's not a criticism of REX, which is a wonderful product, but an acknowledgement of the limitations of the FSX engine which simply cannot deliver a decent volumetric cloud experience). REX is essentially a 2D photo library of beautiful clouds and NOT what I would wish to see in something like SoW.

Very impressed with the first cloud shot of the SoW Wellington, the first time we've seen something approaching an overcast (although I see in a later image that was a limited patch of cloud).

Looking forward to seeing more where that came from. Overcast, drizzle and fog please!

Cheers, Spinner

I don't agree with your characterization of the terrain. There are past screen shots where it has looked better, I will give you that.

I guess it would be more accurate to say that you, among others, have an tendency to post without any tact. There are MUCH better ways of saying what you said. More constructive and less confrontational.

Let's face it, you are in several "I told you so" arguments with others on this board. I think you are looking for opportunities to rub their faces in any flaws and that leads to these tactless postings.

Lack of tact and feelings of entitlement seem to me to be what lead Oleg to his last comments....so how well did they work?
