Been thinking about Oleg posting just five images. My theory...he wanted to give us something since he didnt post last week but not to much since the the official announcement is coming next week anyway and will probaly come with a bunch of new content to check out.

My brother who was a heavy duty mechanic would have loved to have gotten his hands on that tractor .. The gray one...I can see him now putting around the field with it

Very nice indeed except one thing. The textures under the grass don’t have the same color and aspect as the 3D grass they support. This causes a brutal transition when the 3D grass is vanishing in the distance and only the texture remains visible.

In one word, from close the green areas look very good with the 3D grass but the textures should be improved to render the granularity of a field covered by grass (not to look like a golf course)

But again, I think that they are still working on the textures, so may we hope that this feature will be improved for the release version.

I feel like this

I agree for the clouds, but Oleg knows that they suck and he said that it will be improved but probably after the first release version.

But I don't agree for the textures and the airplanes.

The planes look very good and much more detailed than in IL2 but as the graphic engine is not fine tuned yet I understood that it was not possible to use any anti-aliasing (that's why we see that crappy effect on the wings ...)

The textures look much better than in Il2 from that altitude even if we compare with modded versions.
