Friday 2010-10-15 Dev. update and Discussion

[Flying Pencil]

Took a closer look at this image...



simply incredible!

The city looks like a real city, all it needs is some people and cars to make it complete. Their is enough variety in buildings one barely sees the repeated ones.

The Bf 110 name tags include unit codes, talk about detail!

Rolling hills in distance only make it more like real life.

Behind the puffy clouds looks like some cirrus types as well (high alt striped types).


The 2 items I do not like (even if other games have it)
1. Red and Blue arrows pointing to units. WW2 pilots had nothing like that, so it simply destroys all that beautiful world.

2. Range number (see the 3.7, 3.35) The high resolution monitors today offers a much better judge of distance. New players may benefit, but for full realism arenas can they be turned off?

BTW, Oleg.

THANKS! for your weekly posting!

nice small updaatee mr Mddx

My 6 years son like it very much. From all flying games he found it the best solution (understood from the first try).
Next update I will sho photo of my sone playing fligth sims.

Its one of the tests

What was good in Il-2 shouldn't be ignored.

Also... You may play without them isn't it? For this pupose there is other settings of complexity. But we need to satisfy a lot of user's interests... from real novices to the hardcore fans.

Will we be able to choose between DX9, DX10 and DX11 in game?

I wonder is difference in performance between them big? I mean in frames per second and similar? Like 100 frames with DX9 and 10 with DX11.

I think it's great Oleg that you have designed with broader audience in mind. It's always good to have the options, that can be turned off it you don't need / like them.

My Son is looking forward to playing this, but will need it simplified or he'll get bored quickly.

Oleg,

if you down an enemy over populated area such as you show in these shots, will the buildings show damage?

Yes it is, it's about 1/2 way between Dover and Deal on the east coast, just south of Kingsdown.
