Thanks for the update, Oleg, Ilya, CS, and others helping the dev team.
S! ~S~
This is awesome. I likey likey. Its good.
Anyone notice in 104 n 105, they got icons turned on?
103 / 106 has no cockpit (get all the ego runners upset LOL)
maybe this is closer than we think?
In regards to colors, I kinda like it. The shadowy gray influenced over realisitic graphics is over done for other games. Here for the screenshots, the shadows and shading is well done. I know lots of guys are looking for Pixar here, but this is a game and not everyone has 16x cores to run high end. It's good to know that Oleg & crew are still working on it.
I like how the 110 the edges of the guns catch the light but the nose itself doesn't.
Will planes have moving shadows as they turn / maneuver and light movement as it passes from cockpit surfaces?
Water detail is great as well as the volcanic representation of some of the pictures.
Trees are good.
Some questions.
I know there's going to be moving sun shadows related to the time of day.
Will there be object movements and detail?
Like I remember my dad's friend over jungles by the A-1 skyraiders sometimes they'd fly past and the bird's scared would fly up but get tossed back down by the prop wash.
Or will trees / flags move with the breeze or palms swaying in gale type winds? Or waves breaking.
Might tax some of the weaker systems.
Along the same lines, will there be damage representation and will it be permanent or temporary? (like in FPS's corpse disappear and bullet holes go away after a few minutes to keep frames down . . .)
Jurassic Park, LOL, don't give ideas. SOmeones going to make a mod where its Warbirds vs Jurassic.
I like the details. I just hope the sound matches, like others have said. Like hit up Duxford and get engine sounds, work with restored old machine gun fanatics. The graphics of IL-2 I could understand but with 24 bit sound and real restored planes / weapons at the airshows, IL-2's sound was lacking.
I was laughing at the ghostrider Spitfires. They didn't have a 109, like I wanted, but the cockpit detail on the Spitfire just blew me away. It's like looking into a real one! And I know all planes will get such attention, so its all grand!
Anyone notice the gunsight was subdued? I wonder if you have to turn on gunsights like WW2 pilots had to switch from cruise to combat readiness?
(Hopefully FW 190 front cockpit is modelled correctly when that theater / theatre is released
j/k )
