pic1: has poor textures in Heinkel cockpit... outside is different than Il-2... better maybe... but far from "reality". In a glance I cant spot any reference. I wouldn't normally compare it to other existing sims (like DCS) but we have to wonder... DCS Black Shark (LO FC2) has a game engine quite old but with a bit of moding (hi rez textures) looks quite believable... and in December A-10 module will come with even more improvements...
pic2: way too many low poly low rez cartoonish trees. yes... far better than Il-2 but... it's 2010... pic3: Still a bit of low rez/cartoonish looking cockpit textures and outside... "place holder" basically. Why I say this? I am not a fan of world of warcraft coming here daily almost to bash what developers of Battle of Britain does. But I want to tell that at least me.... and I believe many others think similar to me but maybe don't voice their thoughts... don't like to fall on my back to anything a developer throws at me as a teaser bone. Especially when my feed back can actually help him spot some possible improvements in their work. So... please... this community is really starved and anxiously waits the gem, it will take anything as a "Wow!"... many going to fanboysm similar in manifestation to the hilarious characters from "The Fift Element" movie that accompanied the radio DJ... if people remember them...  .Pictures without anti-aliasing for a WIP game in 2010 looks like lack of care... like walking with unpolished shoes in front of women. Low rez terrain and features should be hidden as much as possible.... especially if they will improve in the final product... You better show some short animations or multi-player/ map building/ mission creating features than debatable pictures. To all fans here... like me. Don't jump on my criticism... it's true... I didn't made any sim in my life... but... I just voice a fear that all of us share. I don't want SoW Battle of Britain to disappoint. I am not easily disappointed... i am not a fan boy of CS that can't adapt at new features and bash the new product as "disappointing" for trivial reasons. I just believe that SoW BoB should kick major arse being so much time in development and some of the image updates from WIP worries me. In the end... take a look at a promo of current Lock On 2... platinum... an old game... (I picked LO FC2 - DCS BS cause is the other sim I play and cause its developer (ED) is very close to Maddox. And for comparison to pics from moded pit by RICHARDO (for free): Last edited by zaelu; 08-06-2010 at 06:44 PM.
