waitin' for friday update...I don't dislike this..
 

Leaving out the debate about well-discussed graphic filters, I don't dislike at all the atmosphere reproduced in BoP, I find the landscape elements are well armonized, if SOW at final stage will be near or superior this results I'll be satisfied.
Just to feed a fratricide and endless debate before Friday update:)

They are wonderful shots, this fills me full of hope because Oleg has clearly stated that SOW will be far superior graphically than BOP.

That's really interesting.

I wonder how many people will complain about WoP's smokepuffs, too large trees, blurry ground-textures, unrealistic water, flat props, edgy round forms, ...

I can not imagine that i am flying in better details then you posted above! :o

i hope the FPS will be the same or better. :)

Interesting, I've not seen BoP, here are some IL2 shots for comparison.
Sorry for the different formats.
It's obvious that WoP is streets ahead. Here's hoping SoW with be as much better than BoP!

I have always found BoP/WoP graphics to be AWESOME!! It's hard to imagine it getting much better than that!!

It's not hard to imagine the friday update screens with Antialiasing and some other filters will look as good if not better. WoP does not look as good as SoW with all the filtering turned off.

What is happening in the lower right of the first download image? It looks as if it's been overlaid with a part of another image entirely.

It's a strange thing that happens on this map sometimes when there are towns on it. The map is the channel map from AAA (if I'm allowed to mention that here!).
Actually, the first post on the screenshot thread shows this map better than my crappy effort!

If SoW BoB comes out with all those filters enabled (excessive contrast, darkened image edges etc), I'll be turning them off.

IMO IL2 looks much more real than BoP (from the sceenshots that I've seen of BoP) - and I'd rather fly a sim that looks more real, rather than a cartoon any day.

That pic of the Ju-88 in IL-2 was rubbish (too blurred) and I didn't see anything wrong with the one with the spit.

World Clock times
 

Here is the link to the World Clock - you can look at your own time and compare with Moscow time.

The update is usually put up after 3PM Moscow time.

I do like the WOP BOB terrain, but it won't be hard for the SOW team to easily surpass WOP, because their BOB terrain is missing so much its almost useless.

WoP was a real wake up call for me when I thought great looking graphics would most likely translate to a great flight sim experience.

What a continuous bag of disappointments that was for me personally.

I am sim-less at the moment waiting for this release

Cheers, CS. :)

Well, they weren't supposed to be marvellous screenshots, just a comparison of landscape graphics:grin:
You can see there's a big difference in ground detail in the spit shot compared to the BoP spit screenshot. Although the glare mists it out a bit.
