Friday 2010-10-29 Dev. update and Discussion

We've seen corn fields in BoB, so surely it's a graphic setting? It'd make sense, considering the memory issue.

Thanks for your comments about grass. Maybe it will look better if the density settings are higher.

Hecke,
Please don't talk in the name of the community asking me to stop to post here. It's just your own opinion and who are you to allow or not allow somebody to post here ?

Let me tell you one thing, it's not the end of the story and I will post what I want, where I want and when I want as long as it's related to the subject.

But finally I have pity of agressive people like you, who's master word is 'Intolerance' and I think you must be suffering a lot in your life to react like that. Maybe you should talk to someone to get you out of your problems and in the mean time take a bath with candles around and soft music after a good colon cleanse to feel better.

You didn't get it, right?

I wanted to show with what kind of crap comments I get flooded when I post things like you did in your post.
I am not the one who arrogates to shut other people up, I am actually pretty happy when people mention such things, but I get insulted when posting them.

I think there is a line, though. Some of the things you have asked for, Hecke, have just been way too complex IMO for the team to model; and Oleg himself said as such.
Don't get me wrong, I think posts where people point out inaccuracies or improvements is fine, but one has to draw a line somewhere.
Now before people say, "hang on, aren't you being hypocritical?" I would say, in my own defence, that any improvements I've ever suggested have been cosmetic. For example, the cloud shape to me is just wrong; and the recent videos have highlighted this. I don't think it would take a lot to change the model; as it is the model looks like Il-2, so perhaps it's never been tweaked?
And regarding terrain, the videos have made it look a lot better Considering any improvements that will come from updates, I'm more than happy. Not that my opinion matters though; I'm just throwing this out there. Ignore me

And how the hell shall I know what is too complex for these russian developers?
We are at end of 2010, I think almost everything is possible, it's just if the developers want it or not. So why don't you let Oleg decide what he thinks is worth an answer and what is crap.
I don't assume to know their skills, you guys do.

I noticed the same about the waves but with all the other great visuals, didn't want to whine about it. At the altitude most of the planes in the videos were flying and with the fair weather shown, the sea should look pretty flat. Perhaps the scale of the waves was increased for visual impact but I agree this makes the planes look smaller.

Noticed the same thing about the hurricane with the collapsed landing gear. The size of grass in that shot was quite big, making the plane look smaller.

Hmm, good point. In this situation, I think people who get annoyed should just keep it to themselves. This isn't real life (LOL if it was) and so if people get annoyed at this stuff then......
But surely you can guess that thousands of bomb craters 30ft deep would just not work?

I think people only get annoyed when you moan about the graphics. I mean you did post the one picture that showed bad graphics

That's some seriously twisted thinking and probably explains the demanding tone in a lot of your posts. So you seriously think that whatever feature does not make it into the game is because Oleg and his team don't "want" it or are too lazy to do it? As you admit yourself, you don't have an idea about the complexity of such a project, the required work and the limitations they have to overcome. Your conclusion that therefore it should be fine for you to expect and demand anything you can dream of is seriously flawed.

Welcome to the real world.

Thousand bomb craters
30ft would be awesome, for my sake he can then limit it to 50 craters.
No no, you are right that's too much.

But actually I seemed to be the only one who was interested in whether it's just simple texture or a 3D hole.

[philip.ed]

I had asked if it'd be 3D before. But that was a while ago
