Friday 2010-01-22 Screenshots AND Discussion Thread

[luthier]

Hello everyone,

We're moving offices, so our FTP site is going to be offline for a while as we relocate our servers. It came as a bit of a surprise for us. All older screenshots will be offline for a while. We apologize.

Here are some new shots for today, showing:

1. BR-20M radio room
2. BR-20M bombardier's position
3. Lorenz approach aid with fancy hut (fully operational)
4. More details of our tanker

We hope you like this week's update!

[Edit] And a fancy video, courtesy of MuxaHuk:

Radio room looks great! Hopefully that can be a crewed position on a bomber. That would be fun in a multiperson crewed plane online.

The shadows the ship shot look very nice as well.

Only thing is I would like to see some of the real terrain instead of the place holder stuff, but I know it's WIP and it will come when it's ready. Great work all, good luck with the move.

The shadow of the rudder of the boat is bit weird

Do you think you may see it from the flying aircraft?
Also, it is not maxed graphics settings. It is DX9 shots.

The ships models are beautiful detailed, indeed they compare very well with anything I have seen in a ship simulator, so I don't think anyone should be complaining about their quality.

On question though, what warships will be modeled?

Obviously the presence of battleships, aircraft carriers or even cruisers would be unlikely in the English Channel, but there would be warships ranging down in size from destroyers to motor torpedo boats, so will we see any of these?

Hey Oleg,
Do you own a DX11 graphics card? If so, toss that puppy in your test system and pop out a few DX10 or DX11 screenies. Is that possible?
Flyby out
PS the DX9 shots look great at any rate.

By "rudder" I presume you mean the steering wheel, as the rudder is found at the back of a ship and is normally underwater?
The wheel assembly, binnacle and port & starboard indicators are very well shown, and I don't find any problem with their shadow. The sun is fairly low, forward of the ship and slightly left, so an elongated shadow cast onto rough deck-planking is going to look very similar to what you see in the screenshot. It'd be a shame to strafe this beauty!

A pleasing set of shots altogether - lovely detail.
