Default Friday Update September 8th 2010 Request

If at-all possible could we see some of the atmospheric effects, particularly cloud-types, cloud backgrounds, storms and weather effects please?

Wondering if it has been possible to get authentic cloud shapes and also if, like they do in Wings of Prey, when you fly through a cloud, water particles appear on the glass.

I know I shouldn't ask for a video of it.....but can we have a video of uit if possible too?

Just asking, cheers, MP

From my experience graphical effects are implemented and tuned when everything else is close to finish. I doubt SoW has reached this state, yet.

Agreed. However it was not an unreasonable request. Some more clarification on multiplayer features would not kill anyone at this point either.

I'm not judging the reason behind the question, but fact is, that you can only show something in a screenshot or video, that is implemented and works in present time.

What comes in the future or what is planned here and there is a much different question and will mostly be restricted by legal, marketing and psychological considerations. Announcing something that won't make it in the release caused a lot of trouble before.
So, it's a matter of learning from the past. OM obviously has. I wonder why the community still hasn't or is unable to realize.

I'm not saying you are right, and I have not been waiting for SoW as long as most of you have, but I have waited for a sequel title that took 10 years with many changes of direction, cancellations, and re-starts.

Those of us waiting for that title were sure it was around the corner for a long time. A lot of money had been put into development, etc.. No way it would get canceled, but it did. The main reason back then was a competing title (Battlefield 1942) that came out first. Getting beat to the punch, the developers went back to the drawing board. What eventually came out was good but was nothing like the original concept and it took more than 10 years.

I'm not saying this is what is happening with SoW and I don't think it is. I am just saying don't laugh away the possibility. Heck, a competing company might buy out 1C and put out their own title. You just never know.

Knowing what little I know of X-Plane (a non-combat flight sim), the real money for them is in handheld applications these days. It seems they develop the PC game (Apple too) just so they can port it over to handheld apps. Maybe 1C is looking in this market too. We don't know.

So keep an open mind. Until we see video, a dedicated web site, and other indications people have mentioned...there are no guarantees. I just started playing IL-2 a couple months ago in preparation for SoW, but I also figure I have at least five years of "enjoyment" from that game until I have maxed it out like some of you original players. I HOPE the release is imminent, but I am not betting the farm on it lol.

Luckily or unfortunately there appears to be no competing projects.
