I respect your opinion but totally desagree with you.
I think some people just can´t see visual or auditory improvements like others, maybe like the old times when CD take the place of vinil.
Some people just don´t get it : "hey,it´s the same thing"
It´s the only explanation I can accept for this kind of "everything it´s the same" point of view because the changes are so obvious (for the most part of people, I believe)

No video. Too busy with the next 2 weeks exhibitions and game conference.

So Oleg, are you planning to grant interviews or release a little something special for your fans from the gaming conference? Just thought I'd ask.

We will speak about many things. But BoB will be shown (if) just for the small auditory.

That's great news! Will you at least consider posting a video of the showing? You know everyone will appreciate it. I've already sold my mother-in-law's wheel chair as scrap metal to help finance a new GPU!
thanks!

Jokes aside, nice update. I can really feel it coming together, lots of things seem to be ready indeed. We have yet to see a screenshot of a combat situation (clouds, sea, landscape, aircraft, tracers, damage, fire, smoke etc.) taken at 100% graphic settings and in high resolution... Only one such picture would fill my SoW-needs for a while!

EDIT: also, in post number 9:

Oleg used the infamous "two weeks" in a reply?! Well, OK I know I took it out of context too. But it's such a classic reply among us Oleg fans!

Zorin, maybe what we're seeing is not representative of the final appearance of the skin. The sharpness of the textures can be turned down to increase performance, or is maybe not optimized yet?

Some earlier shots show skins which are much more sharp than in Il-2 at the same camera distance.

As a side by side comparison:





It's a huge difference to me.

Lovely! Now I think that the only unphotoreallistic things are sky and clouds. The rest looks like real!

Sharpness of details is a result of the angle under which we may see it. Its how the light is falling on the surface. So the "sharpness" of Bf 110 is exactly the same as on this shot. Just under the other angle.
I remember Ilya has been shown such effect already in the past.

I don't like to show even what is ready, but not tuned to the eye cundy. You know, always we found some people that din't read notices in dev update.


Today I was almost ready to post such combat pictures, but then found some really bad glitches and decided to do not post. Simply because of things that I told right now above...


There was battle of stukas with spitfires, Fiats G50 in flights, Dornie, He-115, etc...
