What do you think about Rise of Flight's terrain (textures, trees, grass ecc. ecc..)? I don't care a lot about SoW cockpit, aircrafts ecc. ecc. because i know they will be superb, but i'm really afraid about terrain. What you say is right, but those Jurassic pics are really terrible......however.

What is your personal task about SoW's terrain, first of all considering DX10, DX11? What do you ask to yourself about its quality?

Il-2 engine and then game + engne was in development 4 years. Then it was modified in time several times.
BoB - is way more complex engine, several times more complex. Need more time for development that to get the product line with the life not for just one season, but for several titles at least. From the beginning there, like in IL-2 in the past, we need to put so many features-modules, that to satisfy the meets 2010-2015 at least.

In the header of dev update very clear is done what I think about colors of the terrain in this dev update from the point of veiw of a professional photographer (you may try to find my photo website). Even these Jurrastic colors, like you said will be tuned. It is said already in other answers of Luthier and me.
On the current modent we did technology, but using old, prepared for old variants of engine textures. They simply can't be right with all these nature lights effects that we are modeling in the engine, just cockpits textures and partially aircrafgt with cars, etc are already tuned for the new engine. Ground, water, etc - later. It is large, but simple work to change source colors of textures.
At first we show that everything is going, flying, shooting (but with special development traces-placeholders, why I will not show it, same with explosions, flame... its way i did show just smoke on the back ground byut don't show the source of the flame producing so great size smoke.)
