seems rather obvious to me, its just a few buildings plonked down in the field temporarily so
1) the aircraft flying from there have a reference point to locate the field (untill scenery is improved enough to do proper VFR)
2) its a nice little challenge to fly through all 3 hangers, they all have their doors open and are aligned end on end



what is more interesting, did anybody spot the smoke rising from the chimney of the english house in the other new screenshot ? about a year ago oleg also gave screenshots (in close up) of houses with interior lights on. those are nice attentions to detail which will go well with some of the other new elements we are getting to improve immersion in the game (AI road traffic, birds flying in the sky, etc..), and starting to see see it as a living breathing world we fly around in.

These are stunning pics, but just out of curiosity, why is there no AA in these pics?

Because it is an Alpha - weight a few months and you'll see player controllable antiaircraft guns (or DX11 with simultaneous anti-aliasing and HDR).

+1 on you name btw. It actually seems like something new...

We are sharing the same progressive thoughts.


It look's obvious to everyone here.

Have you see, what could be some runway edge equally spaced markers (05 brownish dots) ??
Anyone got a idea what they could look alike ?

I think lawfulfalafel was talking about Anti Aliasing instead of Anti Aircraft. Oleg stated somewhen before that AA is fine tuning wich will come later.

I bet those trees will look alot better with transparency AA.

As a professional artist and digital artist i assure you there is nothing wrong with the colour range. Try calibrating your monitor properly.
