Friday 2011-01-21 Dev. update and Discussion

Trees on the cliffs and in front of. This is the case since longer time now and it hasn't been changed. Seems like Oleg and team don't see the wood for the trees in the truest sense of the word.

I come here a few times a week and it never ceases to amaze me that most of you guys just like to nit pick
You have a release date for gods sake, isn't that enough?

grass isn't right color, goggles up???

If i was flying MSFS then ground detail would mean a lot coz thats all you have, this is a combat sim don't think i will last long if i look out and admire the ground.

for me it's all about game play, if it's not immersive i lose interest real quick and no amount of pretty graphics will keep me playing.

Oleg: a little suggestion, haven't seen anyone mention this recently. How about a little exhaust smoke when the throttle of the fighter is slammed to Full Boost? There have been mention of this smoke in pilots' accounts and in fact I've seen it myself from WWII aircraft at airshows. It is something that occurred to me when looking at the last screenshot, especially.

Ya not to nit pick, thanks for the photos but I couldnt help but notice again the AA is off/low which is very distracting. Also the field texture looks very low res...

Plane models look good though and I like the tracer smoke/wake/trails.

However, as the title indicates, the Cliffs of Dover DON´T HAVE TREES ON THE BEACHEs just gravel, sand and seaweed, so I think that´s a must to be corrected.




Also, as you can see in the photo, there are no trees as well nearby on top of the cliffs just, grass and some shrubs and as CoD happened in mid-late summer of 1940, you can notice the different tone of the green colors and what we´ve seen in photos and videos of CoD by so far, is more springtime colors than summertime. So, these colors are a must to be corrected too.

Sorry for these observations but me like everybody else who loves your sim want it to be accureted as possible.

Best regards,

Mad G

I think it depends on where you look. There are trees at sea level, but maybe not on beaches...the game probably doesn't make that difference:

I want sliding goggles and less green grass everywhere I go

especially when smoking a tracer

I'm awestruck by the inane complaints as well - must be entertaining for Ilya and Oleg

maybe the project was canceled in 2006 medieval times and these are just old screenshots meant to torment the sporks

that would be extra funny

Brilliant update. I like the Defiant.

A small note: I wish the roads were a bit more brown-grey, rather than blue-grey. There is an overall blue look to the towns which looks unnatural to me.

It is the same footage reused.
Look at the Ingromir video - it is identical.

Oleg will change it (if it isn't already changed in current builds).

Why doesn't this make sense to me?
