Excellent work.

Yes still wip. Maybe in the next update will show how it is really looks.
We still have some problems with the far distance for the trees (not our own engine for them...) - some bugs, so simply we switch them off on such great distances together with other objects on the surface, so it looks not like it should on the great distance.

Ok... today I already can't answer interesting or these that I can answer questions. Need to run to dantist . Will be back online on Monday.

PS. rememer one thing, as more we add on the great ditances - more power we need for calculations We have very close to real things calculation of visibility in athmosphere with the best settings... be ready if you like to get all things maxed out

Sounds great. I was playing WoP the other day, and I noticed how effective the terrain looks, whether it's realistic or not.
Is there any-other sim where the developers talk in-depth to the community like this? Bravo Oleg, bravo

@Oleg, in Il-2 there are repetition effects caused on maps by the textures used. I think this can be avoided to an extent if the map-maker spends time to paint the textures on. Will the terrain in SoW be completely random? So basically, will each field be different from the next? Or will we still have some repetition to the layout of the textures?

[THE ERASER]

*Stunned by the Pictures, rubbing the eyes and pinching himself*

He is a mad man, a mad MAN!

No, reeeeeally great pictures, never dreamed about such beauty.


Now we need Wallpapers, lots of Wallpapers.

How many planes are in the sky at the same time in this sim Oleg?

[Xilon_x]

all very nice looking very detailed.
Only the color of the sea leaves me a bit 'confused.
A greenish type lake swamp the sea may 'take different color depending on the weather.

BELLO OLEG MADDOX VERAMENTE BELLISSIMO.
