Great work Oleg ! But what is kind of odd and hard to understand for some of us, is the fact that we have been shown fantastic shots of ground vehicules, trains , buildings , and very advanced detailed work of non-priority objects regarding a flight sim, and what could be considered essential for good immersion, like pilot position , well, it is not yet implemented...The same goes for the clouds and weather system...I am not complaining, and have good faith , but it is a bit akward....;)

Salute !

I think that of all the things shown in these updates, my biggest issue is with the quality of whining being displayed. It is definitely of a lower quality that previous updates.

The whines are repetitive and monotonous. Surely we can do better than this? It is my guess that due to our poor community contribution we are the butt of many other forums whining jokes.
“That was pretty lame! But I guess it wasn’t as bad as a Il-2 Whine!”

We are dredging up and recycling issues that have been thoroughly rehashed many times without adding any new insight or progression through the whine. How many times does a developer have to say “The colour is dependent on the lighting conditions”?

To transcend the Whine/Constructive Criticism Boundary (WCCB) please back up your statements with evidence. The Yellows wrong? How about supplying a photo of the correct colour after researching what camera, film, exposure settings were used and the process that it was developed with? Can’t find that?

Then how about accepting that colour photography was and still is a developing art and that your favourite photo scanned from a 70 year old magazine cover and placed on the Internet may not accurately reflect the actual colours being depicted?

Cheers and pick up your socks community whiners!

PS Great Update Oleg! Can’t wait for the release date!

I guess we'll get with the first game patch, the pilot "size vs bmi" options.

Hi everyone. I see there's been some discussion about the gap in shadows, close to the base of the object casting them.

This is an inherent limitation of texture-projection type shadowing. Here is a quick example I did in Blender, also using a low-resolution texture projection shadow:

Notice how the light creeps underneath the wall (yes, the wall is attached to the ground). This can be reduced using a 'bias' factor, however this of course will drain more resources from the system. The simple fact is that this sort of effect will always be present to some extent when using texture-projection shadowing.

Now take another look at the first screenshot. The planes that are further away have a worse gap in the shadow and lower shadow map resolution than the plane in the foreground. This indicates that the team are well aware of the issue and have done everything they can to minimize it.

That sweet...And how should I've formulated my positive comment so , in your opinion, it would not be regarded as whining ? Do you have an intelligent explanation regarding my remarks about the developpement of CoD ?Can you
tell us why those decisions regarding what is a priority, or not, were taking ?
So, witch comments are more constructive, yours or mine ? :cool:

Kalimba: I guess you failed to read between the lines and see the irony in my post about your post. Nothing wrong with what you say or ask. Some wieners on this forum is however soon going to whine about your post since you are asking questions they probably consider to be whining. Calling others for whiners is a way of trying to give themselves cred towards the developers and being important ;-)
