Thanks sir Oleg!

No sound? There hasn't been any sound yet and you said you wouldn't show any sound till the release. So i don't see where the problem is.

Bummer...

Thank you for the fantastic update ! This is going to be a benchmark in combat flight simulation.

Hi Oleg

Thanks for the great dev update;

I was wondering if you could shed some light on my question:

In previous dev updates, the aircraft in Storm of War had an most excellent lighting shader applied to them, which basically simulated the increased amount of light bounced off the surface of the aircraft at high angles.

This created kind of an "outline" effect of the aircraft (I.e. the edges of the aircrafts sillhouette was lighter), and was literally perfect in simulating this real-world complex lighting.

I'm wondering why you guys removed it? Was it due to performance constraints or is it simply undergoing tweaking and disabled in the current build?

Here's an old dev screenie which shows it off (lower wing specifically):

Cheers!

We didn't remove it. Simply tuned more precise angles when such thing happens. And now we have not parasitic effect on the internal surfaces, like flaps, etc, that are very good visible on the shot by your link.
