cheers.

I TOTALLY second this question... something I've always believed as well and would be great to see improved.

hi.BOSS,
After I have seen some updated screenshots these one or two months.I've got a feeling.Don't you think that the whole background(the whole scenery)is a bit "clean"?
I mean if the sky is clean,maybe it's beautiful.But it seems that the ground needs some more "dirty" and "soil" feelings.I think you have done this very well in planes modeling.Sometimes I think "god,what a worn plane".
The plane looks realistic,while the ground scenery looks like we are just flying over an EA SIMS 3 city.
Maybe BOSS,you have already seen the ARMAII,"To surpass ARMAII" is my best wishes to your NEW SERIES.

That was great!

Seeing the game in action with bomb drops . . . and the detail in the cockpit is awesome.

Enjoy your vacation and have fun.


What elements are getting updated for the 3D engine?




As for the arma detail, that's a FPS based kind of game. And Oleg just said WIP . ..

Remember about the posts way back? This Amra has to look good up to around 2000 m or so . . . because most of flying there is supporting ground . . . BOB SOW has to look good on the ground all they way up to space. Well just shy of space.




The Stuka is close enough for a safe pull out if its using IL-2 AI.

I've been silently monitoring the progress of this sim after falling in love with IL-2 less than half a year ago. But after seeing these shots I simply couldn't be a silent partner anymore!

I thought I found a cheap pick for a bit of entertainment from the discount bin getting the IL-2 e just for 16€ or whatever, but after a while of heavy duty flying and my investment in HOTAS, pedals and TrackIR I am simply ADDICTED to aviation!

The shots looks simply GORGEOUS!! Especially the 0021.jpg blows my mind!

I can't wait to get my hands on that thing!

Also another thing I just love is the involvement with the player base and the updates to keep us drooling! Sure there was a period of radio silence, but dialogue like this between the players and developers is just not happening with most of the game studios.

Keep up the good work!

Interesting thought about how high we might be able to go. If SoW engine is truly designed for addons, then we should be able to get to black sky. Space shuttle mod might be pushing it, but NF-104..?

It is very nice to see those beautiful trees shadows, they add a lot of 3D and realism (I'd say tree-D, eheheh). It means that they are full 3D objects ... with all the implications.

BTW I just peered at some RoF screenshots, and there trees don't cast shadows, if I'm right. Just wanted to point it out
