Hope that Oleg is better and can enjoy chrismas.

Still, my logic could be completely f&%k up!

About the update, even being WiP, and made all randomly, those airfields with all the objects and tress are looking amazing.
As someone asked if there will be radio transmision through the speaker, it would be great if by using the FMB we could put sound that are recreated through the speakers, either continuously or in any specific time. That could help a lot to create atmosphere on the missions.
Knowing that we will have triggers, it would be great to make a mission where pilots have to wait in their planes with engines off and you hear music playing on the airfield, and suddenly radio transmission ordering for take off, so everyone have to start their planes, taxi and off we go!. . And by using the FMB you assign the music and the radio transmission you want them to hear.

I remember the Memphis Belle movie, that in the B-17 are listen a Music Song from a radio interference for alfews minuts. Thtat will be great.

Nice screeens. !!! remember me Arma2
i love that Grass (like realithy, very green fluor) . The trreees are only nice.. Buth is very okey evrything

Thanks for the update Luthier!

Just a small note: I'm pretty sure that most of us are not happy with these visuals. They don't look like the next generation graphics we expect, but we're also pretty sure that you're "cheating", by not letting us see what you're up to deliver .

S!

[Avimimus]

A really nice update.

Luthier,

I'm really happy with this update, it is one of the best so far. I started to feel the immersion, with all these objects in the airfield (flak !) and the iperrealistic Stuka cockpit.

As far as graphical sophistication, I realise that we must accept some compromises, in order to leave computing power for the complex simulation calculations, but still the graphics looks excellent.

I don't like the "Crysis" style grass, not too for the color but rather for the style, it doesn't resemble any English or French grass to my knowledge.

All in all : great ! Keep up the good work !

Regards,
Insuber

The only thing it lacks is saying something like "...grass style, please make it right because it sucks and completely kills the immersion"
I beleive its not you intention to troll or anything like it, but the subject its almost hilarious if you see it from an outsider point of view.

I hope u don´t get offended, its not my intention.

I hope you don't get offended but you are hilarious. Insuber is completely right, unless the gardener/farmer has been slacking, I have never really seen grass be let to go that out of hand in Blighty. Of course if it was a crop field then that is different, but I like to believe that here in England we take pride in making sure our Gardens are well kept; particularly our arfields

Say Ilya,

I've not seen anything posted else where, will BoB have a proper Stratus cloud layer?

i.e. A uniformed base, a top you can climb/fly over?

Great shots

This is a question best answered with a screenshot.

This is a question best answered some other time.

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.

True for some...not for others! and very fast evolving too...Many airfields have gone from simple fields to reasonably built-up airfields in a matter of weeks, and many of them had individual and workshop hangars by the end of BoB or so.

And about the "flat" stretchs of land...if OM can stay true to actual ground relief, some of you are in for a massive surprise, sometimes...
