Friday update and discussions 2011-03-04

[IbnSolmyr]

Thank you very much again Oleg, Luthier and whole team !!!

I believe that all that we want (sounds, fights, etc..) and didn't get for now will not arrive 'til the release, as said above, cause you want us to be astonished with the whole product... Arf, be patient is hard !

You are stars guys !

The videos are hypnotic…amazing. You have created historical performance art. You have given frustrated aviators the ability to participate in the most epic air battle of all time. Unbelievable. And I am confident that it’s only the beginning.

Great vids but why is it so hard to get accurate looking towns and correct hues for fields and countryside? As a real life pilot who regularly flies out of Biggin Hill there is a huge difference between what you see here and the real thing.

Towns or villages should have a tight concentration of houses arranged in terraces around a market square or road junction not, as we see in the videos, each house surrounded by its own plot.

Terrain colouring is so far off it almost looks like they've done it on purpose.

Yours frustratedly.

He's falling totally normally IMHO, with the recommended body position, he waits for the stabilization.

What would you like he does ? Some smileys and thumbs up to the camera ??!

They are busy with a calendar,so no more videos till the end of March.
But in all seriousness,looks like the four guys,from the basement,somewhere in Moscow,gonna to release this game,after all.If be honest,I lost my hope sometime last year,that it ever will happen.Oh well,lets say thanks for our beloved publisher Ubisoft,for they deep pockets and patience

I also fly out in/out of Biggin from Rochester from time to time but solely fly around the South East and Northern France.

We cant compare today with 1940 but I know what you are saying.

To hand make every single town, village, road and lane is impossible there has to be some kind of auto generation for map building.

I would imagine as things develop so will the changes to colour correction, there may even be a "landscape colours you like" on a slider in CoD.

But did you fly over it in '40s ?? I guess Biggin Hill received a lot of bombs, huh ? So couldn't have it been builded in a brand new urbanisation plan after the war until today ? I read somewhere that the terrain modelled was the real 40' terrain.. And it's a great thing !

I think if to make all you want - like in real life on a lrage space and with great detail - than you should wait more years for the more stronger hardware... At least.

This is one hell of an update! Thanks Oleg for spoiling us like this
