Friday 2010-10-01 Dev. update and Discussion

[Chivas]

The Terrain and Clouds are looking really good in todays screenshots. I'm ecstatic that the developers didn't go the route of some IL-2 map modders who went with satellite photographs to develop their terrain. Satellite photo realistic terrain looks decent at high altitude, but its total crap when flying at lower altitudes.. SOW terrain can be steadily improved upon in future updates, while satellite terrain will always look like crap.

Nicest clouds we've seen yet!

Look at the bullet/canon damage in screen shot number 4 and then compare it to this, something has gone very wrong here IMHO. The damage in screenshot no: 4 looks like a black bitmap splodge over the top of the skin.

Nah.

Tree is just very thoroughly when it comes to find something negative.

And very creative to make an oddity a big life-threatening issue.

With all due respect and no offence intended (of course) but im 100% sure iv never asked u to speak for me, not in the past, present or the future.

U do know that there have been attempts at hacking Olegs computer, trying to steal, in essance SoW right? Or didnt u bother to read that either. And yet u still wonder why he doesnt show u what u whant.

We/I know what u (and others) think and i am just simply asking u nicely (for the love of good) not to repeat it 18 times in every threadh about SoW known to mankind. (no offence intended, of course)

At least, today, read what Oleg has posted in this threadh and get it into your head (same goes for your peers) that he is fed up with this whole bullsh*t from that 5% who is unhappy whatever he throws at them while ther rest of us will pay the prize (no more updates) and relize that they will release the game in any state they see fit, wether u or anyonelse like it or not.

Iv said it before and ill say it again, many people exspects waaaaay to much from SoW, its a flight sim, not the second comming. (well in a sence it is , but u know what i mean.)


No offence.


P.S Feel free to delete this post along with others since it doesnt add anything of value to the friday update, thx.

Well thats just my point Baron, we have not seen any high res screen shots with aircraft over terrain, the only high res aircraft we have seen are the ones against a standard blue WIP background. It would be nice to have just one screenshot with everything in high res and in DX11, considering that the game is effectively finished according to Oleg, with just bugs to iron out you would think that such a screen shot wouldn't be a big ask. It just seems strange that the subject as been ignored or swerved.

In what sense is this "strange"? It's consistent with the apparent way Oleg and Luthier prefer to release progress updates. Just because you think they have to prove something to you doesn't mean that's really the case.
