Friday 2010-09-17 Dev. update and Discussions

[Oleg Maddox]

First of all I would like to show beta interface... better to say just small part - quick mission builder. However it isn't final, there are some misses in selections (like advantage disadvantage, etc). Fonts are also not final, some of them will be way smaller... name of the screen also not final (working)... there is shown at the moment selected mission type.

You may seat in any aircraft of selection, change them... not just in one group that was in Il-2.... Amount of aircfat groups - this will deepending of the mission type that you select on the left side. Currently unlimited... but we wiill need to limit for the release that to do not receive the "bug report" why my PC can't handle for example 2,000 tanks on the ground in one place... On the right side the picture will be absent (or instead... on the left, that to do not repeat) - on the left is a briefing of the mission you select.
Simply in this menu we try to put all the best that was in Il-2 and to give way more features of customisation.... also you may add new one mission(type also) or more, created in Full Mission Builder youself. Thats all that I would like tell for today about interface.

On the third ground shot, the windows of the second house look a little blurred.
Is that heat haze from the vehicle engine?
I know this is a flight sim but this shot really had me drooling.
It looks like the lane where me ma lives!

That's simply the absence of more advanced texture filtering (like trilinear or anisotropic). You can see the border to the next lower LOD on the first building already. Enabling this will also provide a major improvement to medium-distance building textures like with last week's London shot.

Agreed though that it's looking great

Thanks for the update Oleg!
