You can't tell for the video, just not possible. No offense to Luthier but I'd have preferred seeing a pure in-game video; we've already seen enough shaky-cam footage after Igromir...

The screens have no AA enabled at all, it's pretty obvious. On the plus side that means they'll only look better on a higher-end system.

I can't find it back, I think it came from a google translation of the sukhoi forum...

Gotta luv your ringtone Luthier! With such a good taste in music clearly means CoD can't be anything but solid gold.

Thx for the update. Especially like the smoke effects in screens 1 and 5.

I am always surprised some people here ignore there is another great forum...The sources of the comments on weather are here (I know because I was at the origin of the Google-helped translation on CheckSix.fr):

THATS IT. I BOYCOTT THIS GAME DUE TO INFINITESIMALLY BAD DETAILS.

And there is seems to be light in the upper air-intake of the engine, just an edge, but that shouldn't be possible because there should be shadow.

Another thing, the head of the Spitfire pilot is against the cushion of the seat. There is talked about that, so is that an old screenshot?

Even optimized dynamic weather - as cool as it will be - is just going to be a resource hog. Overall I'm very optimistic about the performance CoD is going to have on relatively new systems judging from what I've seen so far considering the incredible amount of fidelity and detail we'll see in the DM, FM and (hopefully) AI.

Just be prepared to make a few compromises in the details, effects and maybe even sub-native resolutions to keep a decent average framerate.

I'd like to see Ilya's system there with low altitude flying over cities though.
