Friday 2010-10-15 Dev. update and Discussion

[Blakduk]

Does anyone who cares about flightsims still have CFS3 installed on their system?

[julien673]

lol no, but the campaign was close to SWOTL, i didn t like the one in il2... but its only the good part of cfs3

Here's a CFS3 Hurricane over what I do not know.

[mazex]

Fairness shall be done as CFS3 (aka the banana) has been requested into the fruit bowl

SoW:BoB - WIP 2010-10

Battle of Britain II v 2.11

IL2

Wings of Prey

CFS3 v 3.1a maxed out graphics


Had to search long to find my CFS3 discs and sorry, there is no Hurricane in the orignal version so another Hawker will have to do...

Any more to add?

EDIT: Had to add that it was a nasty experience to have a go at the CFS3 FM again while positioning the Typhoon for the shot... Shudders...

I vote for SoW:BoB even though it will surely get a better palette/shading etc. The important thing for me is that it's the only where the Hurricane can be mistaken for a real image, the other ones are not even close - and this is about aircraft - isn't it?

I hope image no 3 is ok here - it stands out as the least convincing to me so...

I am delighted that the graphics are beautiful and realistic, but for me what counts is the simulation and game-play, BoP is beautiful but still a bad play and bad management of the damage. that is why I no longer play a WoP and I play a IL-2 1946 ( i love landing too ) and I've waited impatiently WOP.

I love this white tips on the horizontal stabs lol..Also the noses of the 109s in this sim always looked like they were missing their condoms. From the oil cooler to the spinner they were too long and the prop looked like it had a 50 foot arc.

Is there really any need to continue quoting the images repeatedly?

@Mazex about CFS3:

Yes, if you compare stock games. (guess that was the intent)
But the CFS3 community (and they still exist, small but hardcore, to answer Blakduk) has modded the heck out of CFS3 in the past 7 years. CFS3, MAW, and OFF (which are based on CFS3) doesn't look like this anymore, not even by far.
But as far as go stock games, fair enough....but then it should be added that all those games are from different periods....

Coming back to the screenshots, in my opinion SOW looks best, even now, and I am sure that the terrain is far from being actually finished, or rendered in the final way, as I said earlier.
