Friday 2010-09-10 Dev. update and Discussions

[Doogerie]

it may just be me but has anyone noticed this is the first update that does not say WIP at the end?

I read "awesome" every two posts, but a landscape like this...

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/attachm...8&d=1284120152

... for a 2010/2011 sim is not "awseome" at all. Ground textures look crude, lighting is very "plastic", trees are strange and the general feeling is not of "being there".

Frankly, blind fanboism is worth nothing to a constructive critical process.

Of course, it's WIP, but there's still some way to go to get to something like that (of course, in the limits of the current technology abilities) :

I don't know from where you get your information, this shows the Abkommen from orginal Document:

I'd imagine the landscape is very much WIP. I agree with you that the textures are poor, but the trees are steadily improving. I can imagine that something like that picture of yours is possible. It's all relative on the placing of the field textures and then the placing of the trees.

if you look closely - on the second shot you can see a man in the 3rd window from the left on the second floor (westminster). His fingers are too small.

Cool stuff. I just hope the "Jesus mode" that allows people to walk on water is a server side toggle like the old Wonder Woman view was in IL2.

Oleg, Ilya ... I just sent a mail re: the yellow ID markings on the 109. Just a comment.

From experts I have spoken too, I have been led to believe that that is the later type of reticle. In the BoB, the type I showed were the type in use. But this is as far as I have been told. The BDG who have worked on BoB2 are a very knowledgeable bunch, so changing the reticle to the type I pictured would have come from many hours spent researching. by all means, search the a2a BoB2 forum as there may be an answer then, but I am pretty certain this was the type used in 1940.

EDIT-I say this, but your picture shows a c12/c which was in use in the battle....(although it was used after too I think) In any case, I am no expert and I'm basing by views around others. I may pose the question on the A2A forum and see what the answer is. I am just confused now...
