Friday 2010-12-31 Happy Hew Year Dev. update and Discussion

[Redwan]

Very nice update ! Everything looks very nice except the screen where a guy bails out from a 109. This one looks very cartoony to me and I can't really explain why.
Maybe the textures ... and the clouds look less good than in Il246 ... I hope they are just a place holder.

Low res, low details, no AA, f/x at minimum , clouds from IL2 and probably DX9...

Don't worry... It will blow our minds when Oleg decides to put the big show on...

Salute !

Thanks for the update Oleg. Best wishes for 2011 to you and your team.

Seeing larger formations leads me to wonder about the AI in SOW. Can you tell us anything about it? How will it differ from IL-2? What sort of changes/improvements can we expect?

A very happy and productive new year to all on the SoW team.

It's all coming together very nicely now

Thanks very much for the update.

See you all in the new year.

wonderfull updates oleg and team!! i wish that this simulator will shift the simulation genre again back into mainstream attention. i have red you will publish by steam? THIS IS AWSOME!!! it will make impulse buys so much more common and keep us simmers always updated without hassels. also your ability to update often without woriing will help to make everyone happy

one last question: do you have a facebook account for your sim? pls create one...viral distribution into mainstream happens very easliy with facebook. xplane does this very successfully and it is actually easy to implement. just repost your weekly updates there every few days. you will see the attention will raise dramatically if all simmers share these updates with their mainstream friends.

??? Virtual maybe?

Ok, just a detail...
anyway, Thanks for posting on the 31st of december!
and a happy new year to all of you...

Looking great! One question. Is the greenhouse on the Dornier going to be fixed so that it isn't 2D? It really detracts from an otherwise great model.
