You, as proved by this really "useful" comment, aren't.

OMG , I hope you dont build the aircraft I fly in with that kind of forward thinking.

Hi,

Early in-game video. DX9 render and basic untuned effects. Do not forget – WIP!
Tracers are also WIP



In this thread the first post from Oleg, you should adjust comments to suit his statement regarding what you are seeing.

Constructive criticism is a very good thing, but I see nothing in that video that requires negative feedback, that the developer isn't already well aware of. I'm not sure that negative reinforcement is a good thing, but that's just me.

"Yes, just what the pro's need, a bunch of f*****g Amateurs giving advice."

That was my first idea, but then: I just find it disturbing that so many people say, in different words, that OM doesn't know what he is doing.

I say what I think...and I dont worry about weather I'm a "brown nose" or not.

Lesser minds are hung up on weather they are cool or not...

Most of these so called "cool non-brownnose" comments are pointless observations... How many of the comments are about tracers? Or about the "shinny unblemished skins"?

Pointless observations...
Sooo, what is left? A bunch of people who are telling Oleg that they are not "brown nose fans"? Pointless...

p.s. I'll stop right here cuz I already know that this is a bit harsh...

Criticism at this point in the development should concern missing or wrong object design, map layout faults, etc. not appearance of a skin because of their WIP status at this time

[AndyJWest]

+1 to SlipBall.

Also, I think people should take note of the fact they are comparing a lo-res YouTube video with their IL-2 install before commenting on how it 'doesn't look any better'. I'd like to know how they can really tell?

And how many times do people have to be told what 'Work in Progress' means?

[leggit]

all criticism; provided it's constructive, is good. fresh eyes sometimes see things more clearly.

If the Dorniers in the video had looked like this:



instead of this:


Then this video would have been sooo much more jawdropping!

I'm pretty sure the dornier actually looks like that allready, but for some reason Oleg choose to show us something quite less impressing. He is probably building up expectations step by step.

PS! I borrowed the Dornier from Mysticpumas thread, I hope he will forgive me!
