Friday Update, March 30, 2012

[Foo'bar]

MG is a victim of their own quality. Today we see that 46's quality was far ahead. What they've done is to keep all positive aspects from FB/46 and put more details into it.

That's why today's screenshots look very similar to old ones. But if you'd take a closer look you'll see the difference. And if you'd think twice you'd realize that there's much more work required to make a very good product even better.

My best pleasure it will be to PLAY with this game and encourage dev team (i respect all the work they are do for us : simmers)

I just say that this lasts pics are not a quality of COD but seems to be il2 1946 (specialy winters pics).

The game itself, in its roots, is very imperfect....that's why devs make a patch... no?

Finally i think the friday updates pics must be in relation with the patch and not for other add-on (refer to the friday update with the only tank, ok it was beautyful)

Thank's for the next patch,

That is exactly right. Visually the differences appear quite superficial at first glance but on closer inspection they are in a different league. Just look at a cannon barrel and compare it with ones in IL2 1946. The latter is quite 2D, flat and crude in comparison. The cockpits speak for themselves. The landscape is also limited by the computer resources needed to render it. You just cannot have 100% real landscape and still play the game. The biggest advances will be the ones you cannot see under the hood.

Now that picture should be on the "recommended system requirement" on the DVD case.

And lets not forget that as additions to FB/1946 we got an improved flight model that was designed for Clod and new clouds too (improved quality clouds, and an overcast cloud cover). If the Maddox team hadn't given away all that free stuff we would have been totally overwhelmed by the detail in CloD.


Many thanks to all involved with the update, it is much appreciated. Carry on the good work!

Do yourself a favor. Play some 1946, do some screens equivalent to this update. Then compare.Or maybe you could show all of us how this is 1946.
