I notice in this shot- apart from the great trees (beautiful!), better texturing on the ground including what appears to be a detail bump map which blends in with the satellite(?) imagery. This is the first time I've seen this shot and if this is an example of SOW at higher graphical settings (AA is also on) then I would be more confident in the graphical abilities of SOW to deliver an impressive and immersive experience.

The recent shots in contrast have sometimes shown very blurry ground textures which sort of look like un-detailed blobs of colour, not very nice... I understand these are WIP shots taken on low settings on an underpowered PC, but I and others can only discuss what we see.

The devs of course have the freedom to release any kind of shots they like- and they can highlight different graphics systems or anything else they feel like sharing. I'm personally interested in mainly wanting to see things in high quality, but if we only get low settings/low quality shots before release then I'm not exactly going to complain. I think any kind of communication about how things are going is great!

It's so easy to caricature... Almost everybody agrees that the height is fine. We all see outside, some trees 3 or 4 floors high. The proof is that screens posted by Tbag are fine for all despite trees are tall too.

But look at the differences :





The difference is not the height but the complexity. Everybody knows that some trees are 20m high but they do not look like little shrubs with tripled volume and do not have leafs with the size of an Opel Blitz...

By the way, the trees in the second screen are really good looking.

I think people are focusing on the scenery because that's what we see the first on screens and also because most of us know that Oleg and his team will provide us an amazing sim on every other sides...
The few problems IL2 had where related to sceney like "flashy green" and scale problems.

Personnaly, I focus my attention on trees and land textures because everything else is almost perfect to me. It should be taken as a compliment... If the most demanding simmers are complaining about trees, it means that Oleg is on the right way, isn't it ?

You are 100% right. It is indeed a fact that people always find something to complain about. Now, there is even a real reason to whine about, because the trees shown in the latest screenshots are not really that good, to put it nicely.

I find it interesting that some shots look almost like Il-2 (yes I know!) while some just are jaw-droppingly beautiful... Maybe they're just teasing us?

Or maybe they found some 4-year old shots and posted those just for kicks? Or maybe the game is already finished and they're just postponing the release closer to Xmas? Or maybe there is no game and it's all just a hoax?

I am sorry but the brass knockers on the buildings are way off.

Forget the tree's, the knockers on those doors is just simply unforgivable. Do you really

expect me to make that leap of faith with crap knockers like that?

This is just another nail in the coffin of SoW...

This is supposed to be a S-I-MU-L-A-T-I-O-N!

Yet you guys cannot even get the knockers correct.

Sad, sad day.
