S!

Nice shots. Enjoy your vacation

Very unexpected content in this one. Looking very nice even at this stage. Enjoy your time off.

Lovely screenshots Oleg - I especially like the sun set/rise images. That will make flying beautiful.

Just a couple of things:

1. I know this is WIP and it's been discussed a lot, but I think the grass on the airfield (1st image, final part) is too green. I'm sure you know, but ...

2. The edges of the Bf110 in the 3rd image, final part, seem very sharp. Presumably this is again WIP?

Have a great vacation!

just to make sure everyone get it right...this is no sunset....the time is frozen but the camera moves upwarts to the sky. im pretty surprised in a very positive way that oleg decided to go the "sphere" model of the planet. that really opens up possibilities well done team oleg!

Just to remind: still WIP

From what I understand they are using Speedtree (?) - a third party "vegetation 3D api", and they are working with them on some problems with distance rendering of trees. Speedtree are experts in this area (most major game titles use their trees) so I suppose they will fix it... Oleg said some time ago that they have the trees at "low render settings" now while tuning them.

This update is highly fascinating. If i understand correctly, the game world is curved like the shape of the earth, even if the game map is limited. And more, engine renders up to the limit of space and maybe even beyond. That opens thrilling possibilities -- wow!

Ah and sunset screenshots look all superb. Photographic quality there, congrats !
