46 Squadron, out of Stapleford Tawney in Essex.

does your sentence above mean we will not see the trees "sprouting" from the terrain anymore when we get close?

The previous terrain shots with individual trees showed them disappearing after some distance, as it is not possible to render them to the horizon even with all kinds of programming tricks.

My understanding is that this update shows the most simplified tree/forest LOD that is overlaid over the landscape at distances where no individual trees are rendered anymore.

The fact that Luthier probably still uses a low-end graphics card on purpose (as announced recently) doesn't help the overall quality impression, but as these are development shots these complaints are missing the point.

For some strange reasons the movements in Il2 are exaggerated beyond belief and may give you a wrong impression this is normal: it is not!

Of course, a keen I could pick up the movement - especially if one of the aerolons picked up the sun for a moment. Some of us also tend to fly early aircraft and often end up at around 200kph for most of the fight. We don't all fly '44 and '45 BnZ.

Updates may be restricted but it's not as if we're missing out. I'd rather not see details which the crew absolutely hate and are crap than see them myself. When things are close to how they'll look, then we should be shown them with the added incentive that they can be tweaked until release.
put it this way; would you rather be shown a fugly woman or wait a month and be shown a beautiful one?

In real life some of the 109s did and some didn't during BoB. A similar situation to the Hurricane. If I recall correctly there were at least two Bf-109 micro-variants planned for this sim.

The point about development shots (just like back with Il2 on the Blue Byte forums, for those who remember) is to see what they are working on, not to be impressed by shiny screenshots. That includes dead ends, half-finished stuff and reduced quality settings. I sure am still interested in seeing that. But maybe too many people are unable to put things into the proper context.

In other words, I sure feel like missing out.

It still has to run on our PC's.

Thanks for the understanding

Pff, hopefully i'm gonna love at you when Luthier tells us that they hate it more than we do. You are just a damn FANBOY.
But I can tell you, you won't have any advantage sucking up Oleg and his team.

For Oleg critique is more helpful than your "Perfect", "Stunning", "Awesome", etc: He can read it and gain inspiration and see what the potential customers expect.

It's our money that he wants and if you don't have any prospects... well, than be quiet because you're not any help at all.



P.S It's just small critique, not an insult to MG!

These posts are NOT for critique. Do you really think Oleg posts updates because he's dying to know what a bunch of 14 year olds think?

Do you really think Oleg wants to know what a bunch of fanboys tells about it?

Surely not, because they will buy it anyway according to no prospects.



BTW I would say noone here is 14, hm, maybe you but noone else.
