I post each week even when told that it will be hard for me...

This forum seems to be full of people who are very quick to criticise.. For example we've all seen the close ups of the terrain and they are very detailed and look like a lot of work has been done.. everyone says ooh nice etc.. Following week we get 'the terrain looks bad' despite you already saying you had some bugs with it, edges of river etc.

They have very short memories.

I for one appreciate that it's not easy to spend 6 years of your life on something only to have someone with no idea of what's involved post some pointless information or badly thought out argument (see gun sync last week ).

Just assume that half the people on here are stupid and you'll be ok. The half that aren't will understand. If someone says something relevant I'm sure you'll spot it.

Nice update, thanks for having the balls to actually post on here!

I think would be much beter to make like others... several screenshots and advertizing video, corrected and re-rendered... or completely rendered not in engine.... That will be cool...

Common Oleg!
We been through this since the “good ol days” of Oleg's Ready Room.
The same monkeys jumping up and down, demanding and criticizing! Do as usual, pay no attention and just keep up the good work and in the end the result will be something to smack them all in the face with.
As before!
Regards
Viking

Poor terrain textures is in no-way related with the river-pattern.

Anyway, I think constructive criticism is useful; but let's not split hairs over this.

Oleg, did you see my post about Defiant-rear-gunners? It's really integral to the sim, so if your e-mail is still the same, will you want me to e-mail you more info? If you don't reply, I'll take that as a no....

Yeah, you all will flame me and call me a fanboi, but I understand Oleg's attitude. When is enough enough? How many other games in development have the top guy interacting with fans before release? I've waited for a number of games and in only one other instant have I encountered an owner who interacts with the fan base prior to release in anything similar to this fashion and HE does it on his own terms. Oleg has gone above and beyond, you all need to shut it up for a while.

And are you all STILL griping about details that none of us will see when whizzing by at 300mph?

You all are enough to make a preacher cuss. Reminds me of my ex-wife.

Totally agree. I often wonder if some to these unreasonable and persistent whiners are just trolls from the old days who have more experience now but their goal is the same: harass and annoy Oleg Maddox until he walks away from the community.

He takes the time to post an excellent update, every week, and after he has done so you ask and whine that you want a video. Of course a video will be nice, we all know that, but after one man has taken the time out of his day to post a number of shots and answer a number of questions you still whine. Well, I think it's ludicrous personally.

Oleg, are the clouds shown final? They look quite nice, but IMHO are a bit grey? Also, they still look quite cotton-ballish. I hope this makes sense. I am sure it can be a feature that will always be tweaked from release, but this is just my two pence. Have a great weekend

Really?
You say all that then tell a grown man that the clouds are too grey? Come on, the guy knows what clouds look like. I'm looking out of my window at grey clouds.. who do I tell?

What was the weather like at this point in the BoB?
Even if they were rain clouds, they just wouldn't look like that. My point is, they don't look like any clouds I have ever seen in Britain. You can argue all you want, but they just aren't 2010 standard (as far as the screenshots tell). Of course, as Oleg said, these could be old shots etc
But look at the work of REX or even the new DCS game and the clouds there look better IMHO.
This is just constructive criticism; I'm not whining about it as I said that these features can be changed later. It won't put me off buying the game, but it'd be nice for photo-relastic clouds and terrain. I'm sure it could be achieved in the game.

Thank you, Sir!
