Oleg has promised that SOW will have far better looking terrain than WOP/BOP, I know we are not seeing anything like that yet but im in agreement with most on here that Oleg must be holding back showing us until final release.

I know that this is very important to you and a few others. As for myself I could'nt care less, its all about game play for me. Heck I would be happy if the terrain looked the same as in 1946, and that I could enjoy smooth game play with all of the new features in SOW. ![]()

I've been following the SimHQ thread - have to say that I actually prefer how the terrain is looking in this week's update compared to the 'Spitfire from the Heinkel cockpit' pic.
For me the terrain in that shot looks over-saturated and 'cartoony' in comparison. The trees aren't integrated as well either. I'm not saying that the current shots are perfect, but I see a process of improvement in how things are developing. While being too pastel-coloured, this week's shots are closer to real, photo-like colour balance than any I've seen so far. (especially pic 2 - the Hurricane at medium altitude - when I first viewed it in a web browser on 1680x1050 screen it looked very close to photographic and I was very impressed. Viewed more closely at full-scale the pastel-tones become more apparent, but I really think that things are moving in the right direction) Last edited by kendo65; 10-17-2010 at 11:23 AM. |

I have a question about DRM.
I've been away from PC gaming for about 7 years and I was wondering what's so bad about the DRM in DCS and RoF? What's so wrong with it that it's actually putting people off buying the software? I'm not trying to start a big DRM argument or anything I'm genuinely curious. |

This is Oleg we are dealing with, do you seriusly think he would release a sim that he was less than 100 procent happy with? "I can do better than this but let them have it now!"?
Think not! The real danger is that he might never be happy! Regards Viking |

I made 2 changes 2 the pictures from the updates.
the first one changes a couple of colours (I'm not saying my version is better than the original). the second one deletes almost all text and arrows . I also changed the botoms of some clouds a bit. ![]() ![]() ![]() maybe the pictures are a bit too large... ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us Last edited by kedrednael; 10-17-2010 at 01:19 PM. |

I think half the problem here is the use of modern day tractor tramlines in the fields, which look odd when they are broken up by something like a railway line. I'm from a farming background and at the risk of sounding like a stuck record: 1. The evenly spaced tractor tramlines that are apparent in these shots would definitely not have been seen - these are for the efficient application of fertiliser and sprays on a large scale with 15-30 meter booms. This technology has only been around since the 80s really. 2. Baled hay and straw would largely not have been seen, especially round bales. Loose hay/straw stacks and wheat stooks were the feature of the day. 3. Lines of straw in fields would only come later with the introduction of mobile combined harvesters which had only just been introduced to the states. I haven't seen any evidence of the last 2 yet but maybe the textures are targeting the pre-harvest time when cereal crops are still maturing. Now I agree, in the big scheme of things this is not an issue but it would have been nice to get it right when the textures were being created. I did point it out ages ago. In the Memphis Belle movie the modern day crop lines are a dead give away. Standing cereal crops should be an even texture with no parallel tractor lines - these came much later as agriculture became more intensive. These simple textures would have been far easier to produce. Also, at that time Linseed was grown (blue fields) but oilseed rape is a recent introduction (bright yellow fields). Kent was also full of orchards which have largely been uprooted now. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/attachm...9&d=1287325120 Last edited by Sutts; 10-17-2010 at 03:02 PM. |
