Good old days.

The added bonus today is that we can see for ourselves when ever we want. ;)

I miss Oleg...

:(

The trees were better back then :grin:

I agree...leaving aside the obvious grievances of the unfinished state of the sim....I'm sure most of us would prefer beta testing to waiting for periodic screenshots, and I'm sure most of us would prefer paying for that opportunity than see the sim cancelled.

That said due to the extreme amount of time its taking to optimize and finish COD, the series could be cancelled any day if this critical beta performance patch isn't successful.

Thats why i did a "friday update" search, to remind people, and maby mostly, myself. :)

I loved those old cockpits. And I also thought the older trees looked better when grouped.

OMG! Just look at those spit shots, "grab0117.jpg" for example. Why oh! oh why! can someone once more remind me why the "factory fresh" planes were removed and replaced by the "sand-blasted" planes?! It's almost like I'd like to go back to the earliest versions of the game and take screenshots of unmolested planes.

Just look at those clouds.. fantastic grab0131.jpg :shock: where did it all go .....

WIP....we should see those features and more come back as the series progresses. Its far more important to have a sim playable than a pretty unplayable sim. I often wondered how they were going to get all the WIP features being developed into a playable sim, but Oleg said himself many years ago that features would be added and subtracted as sim resources allowed. The series will either be canceled or be a very long project, so that by the time the last Sequels are released COD will have had many new features added by the developer, third party payware, and community modders.

Wow.

Ah how I long for the good old days when the game looked like this for me.

Thats one hell of a spin you got yourself into there. :)

people complained they looked plastic.

REALLY?! They just removed it like that because a handful of people said it looked plastic?! Wow! I wish they'd fix the games glaring issues at that speed, I must say they are very proficient at removing things and quickly. Still like to hear it from the people responsible for it.

+1 That looks cool indeed. :o

Agree..the older cockpits were richer in color and detail.

I think you are about to have a "Close Encounter" Yo Yo :)

Was that back in the days of the OpenGL, or DX9 version?

And I just went digging for this pic to respond with after I saw YoYo's pic on the first page. ::grin:
