Friday 2011-01-28 Dev. update and Discussion

[Richie]

Some screenshots look good and some look like the colour has been turned up a little too much on a TV set. The game hasn't come out yet so we'll see.

Yes, i feel the prewhining is strong in this forum.

Here's the weathering editter for the aircraft. Another subject everyone is in a twist about is how shiny the 109s are. The weathering editter should fix that. Plus all of the skinners will be busy I'm sure as soon as this game comes out.

How can I thank you Oleg & Co,
for updating another friday in a row
Step up stand up, take a bow
wait for the some to have the cow
receive your applause, thank you again

fast to avoid the waaamublance train
Houston Baikonur we have problem
this or another overwhelming them

Neon to green, its a Las Vegas theme, not a UK scene
Where's the specs so I can build my machine
High altitude to make my mixture lean
Too many complaints and not enough time
to add to a long list of whines

Ask her number but the girl don't care
Call of Duty Dover equals ROF scare
stay tuned for the video share

Good looking girl!
Got to agree though the colors look a bit "off", whats up with the AA, I mean WOP looks better... I hate to whine (because here being critical is whining) but its alittle underwhelming. Cockpits look nice, terrain kinda meh. Are the settings on high? If not, why not?

Heliocon, my thoughts entirely (+1)

It's not that being critical is whining. It's people who read the updates and despite the information given, ignorantly bash and complain. It's usually the same people who find plenty to cry about but never find anything good to write about.

It's people who ask the same question that's been covered again and again. RTFF. It's those who complain and yet refuse to see improvements on a weekly basis, indicating that things are still WiP AND being improved upon. It's some folks taking bits and bobs, targeting their complaints upon a few pictures, and not seeing the overall development process. There's some REALLY NICE STUFF to view if one takes a minute. It's folks complaining about tree types in lower England. It's those people who come in and bash, then give an off handed insult to the development team or other members of the forum. And quite frankly, the AA complaints are ridiculous. Does ANYONE really think this game would be released without the ability to have AA running? Seriously? And NO. The settings are not on high. RTFF.

Take a few minutes to read the forum before leaving comments. Some posts are as annoying as the next door neighbor's dog leaving land mines on my property.

It's those sort posts that clog up the forum like a bacon sandwich in my lower colon and cause unnecessary discomfort.



FANBOI MODE ACTIVATED: I think we're all going to be surprised at what's released in March. But what I find really exceptional is that even at these lowered settings the game will be very playable while still looking quite nice. For an exercise play IL2/FB at it's lowest setting. I think you'll be surprised at how comical it looks. You'll also discover how 'bad' the landscape is. Now turn it back up to the highest setting you can. Looks damn good don't it? I personally think CoD will have this sort of graphic flexibility. If these screen shots represent lower settings, then what's in store for the less graphically challenged gaming rigs?

Patience folks. Read the forum. Most topics and complaints have been covered. If one has to complain, at least have an alternative idea for improvement or facts to back yourself up. THAT's true criticism. Adding 'meh's' and portents of gloom and doom do nothing but reduce this forum to a battle ground. .
