Amazing how much energy you invest to find something negative. Maybe it's just to show some effects?

@ jermin:
I guess you missed the repeated statements that the screenshots will not show the actual map of the Battle of Britain until later next year. Instead custom made missions will be used for presenting screenshots. Just a hint

I like the distinct difference between the metal and fabric covered portions of the plane, it really shows off the lighting well. Did anyone notice the subtle impression of the latticework showing through the fabric at certain angles?

This is Impressive.

isn't the Wellington a non-flyable? just asking.
Flyby out
btw, it looks great!

Indeed, that looks great. Maybe it will be flyable after all? But on the other hand, if such detail was implemented for an AI-plan - wow!


(IMHO the difference between the fabric covered and metal parts is the main reason why the paint is clipped off so much in these areas )

I'm sooooo looking forward to start playing this game! It will probably cost me my marriage, and be worth it, too..

A couple of questions to anyone who know the Wellington:
- In the third picture, there seems to be two layers of geodectic framework in the windows above the wing. Is it two layers, or is it the internal structure on the oposite side of the cabon we can see?

- Is the tailplane braced forward with some wire, or are those wires additional antennas? Both seems very unlikely...

Thank you for taking the time to post!

Based on this older shot, it seems the window is "attached" on the internal structure:


AFAIK the cables are antennas.

Has this been cut and pasted onto the background? When you zoom in it looks odd somehow.

Thank you very much for the photos, Luthier.

The screenshots were made in a proprietary tool, the object viewer, which uses the same graphics kernel, as the game itself. But it doesn't contain any scenery, AI, physics, etc. The "ground" on the screenshots is just a flat surface with several toglable texture variants: grass, some generic countryside, shader water, or empty space.

This tool is used by 1C modelers to check the model in the game render to find and fix any possible visual bugs or inconsistencies.

Often it is also used for a promo screenshots, you find in updates.
