Friday 2009-12-18 Screenshots AND Discussion Thread

Hi everyone,

Oleg is still off sick, so I'm doing this update instead. These are probably not up to Oleg's high standards, but I tried my best.

Remember that these are all work in progress. Remember, we work with this game every day of the week. We know what looks good and what doesn't, believe us. The grass is too bright, or the horizon too blocky because it's not final yet, because it takes work - not because we're blind and we can't see it.

German hangars






British airfield with some furniture objects I just threw it around haphazardly.






Stuka gunner. Note the stowed - firing position of the gun.






Some more ship bombing.


Once again, this is work in progress. All shots taken in DX9, the simplest render we have.

Amazing shots! Thanks Ilya, much apprechiated! Love that sunlit cloud

When I see that map of the channel standing there I really think we should have an in-game briefing! As Foo'bar suggested in the other thread, getting into vehiecles/map-view mode can be simply done via a black cut-scene. To be able to admire all that detail you put into SoW it simply must be possible to walk around!

nice objects, good WWII Atmosphere

There will be radio reports from the loudspeakers?

Thanks for the update Luthier. I am LOVING the hangars and the general feel the trees etc. give the airfield - simply great stuff. It will be fun just to taxi around and nothing else!

Please send best wishes to Oleg.

Cheers

Fantastic athmosphere in those pictures! Even trainingmissions will be fun now!

Are there any plans to launch a dedicated website for this game any time soon?

Nice ones!

Not to put a too fine point to it but keep in mind that most german fighter airfields were nothing but flat stretches of land which had never been airfields before. Most of these had nothing more elaborate in regards to buildings than tents.

It's a pleasure to know that all of these are WIPs with the lowest graphic settings.

Cheers

Best wishes to BOSS.

Wow, I do love the colors of the clouds and the shades of the green, it looks they have been tuned and tuned very well.

Great screenshots, I have no doubt it will be the best WW2 fighter simulation when it comes out. The only negative is after seeing all these screenshots il2 1946 looks a bit basic as the graphics there are way behind in comparison.

Like the pimp says to his hos, keep em coming.
