Having just watched the video it shows a great amount of progress, and you can tell has been done by enthusiasts! The detail is really impressive.
A couple of questions.
1) When we see the ski aircraft taking off, they move like they could all take-off together, rather than one after the other, as we currently have.
The question relates to aircraft on grass airfields. Is it possible (maybe only when set to a 'Scramble' mission), to have the aircraft take off together as shown here at 50-seconds? :
I know this was CloD, but is is possible to have this in 1946 as CloD is no longer being officially developed?
2) I had hoped to see Gurner's effects used in 4.12, but we have some work done, most of which is excellent. My only critique is the flame effect. I love the lighting on the fuselage, but the flame seems to be the original cotton ball effect. Is it not possible to make this less cotton ball and more smooth?
3) Lastly, not shown in the video, is there any thought on actually using the OpenGL routines to create self-shadowing aircraft, which are possible in IL2 1946, but just not implemented yet?
Excellent news and update, cheers, MP
