Edit: from another forum, im suprised noone has commentet on the wrong type of rooftiling used in olegs screens. Im sure though someone will be here shortly doing just that. Flight sim community just blows my mind over and over again. (not in a good way mind u)

With respect, these things are a lot more obvious than a darn roofing slate. They literally shout MODERN TECHNOLOGY BELOW.

Now, it may not seem important to many but just wait until people start producing the historically accurate movies that Oleg hinted at. It was bad enough watching Memphis Belle with all those modern fields in the background. If Oleg has a chance to make the environment historically correct then I think he will choose to do it, I don't care when.

- experts of BOB country colors
- experts of RAF flight goggles
- experts of flight suits
- experts of clouds (not so many thou ... :))
- experts of 110 antennas
- experts of locomotives
- ... I can continue ...

Chapeau ... personally I just want an honest combat flight simulation and I feel so lonely ! Hey anyone else out there like me ?

;D

Yep.

Just an observation as a former freelance photographer.

Many of the photos people are preferring as "more correct" have clearly been taken with a polarized lens. Polarised lenses with landscape photos give a more dramatic result. From an observers point of view the effect on the image is similar to putting on a pair of high quality sunglasses on a sunny day.

It's getting hard to say which one is best now...

I don't think it is.

Just look at the aircraft.
Then look at the water.
Then look at the towns.
Then look at the overall 'mood' of the shots.

The blokes at 1c Maddox games will produce the goods.
As I said earlier, given the news we've been given this week, it's too late for comparisons or recommendations for the initial release.
We're on the home stretch.
Have a bit of faith, and remember the initial release is only the initial release.
If recommendations and comparisons are necessary after release, so be it.
That's what the forum is for.

I'm really looking forward to the next ten years, when all these 'games' that the screenshots have been compared to have all been forgotten, and we'll all be wondering why on earth we moaned.

Like Insuber said, we just want a good combat flight sim.

I think we're going to get a terrific one.

Err... more than me? ;)

I'm blown away by the thought of the developer actually saying they're modeling all of 1940 London.

Sorry,Foo' bar.
I don't consider you an expert in locomotives.
You are god.

Another God is the person who has done the weather modelling :)

I was curious what WoP would look like without the colour cast:

Yes you are perfectly right. Not all but many was done by this way if it was professional photograper.
In my photos that I was shooting from the air myself I didn't use polarizer, however in a soft I was removing the effect what is doing the glass of windows and canopy.
