I love the grass

:grin:Totally agree. The lighting and atmospherics are superb. Nothing to fear. Higher than the sun.:grin:

This is my first post, so correct me if I'm wrong:

I have a feeling that clouds diversity has not been improved much from original Il-2 Sturmovik... or at least - it has not been displayed on WIP screens.

Diversity of clouds shapes is extreamly important for a modern flight sim... as much as dynamic lightning (that is well visible ;))

If there is improvement on clouds diversity - what is the reason for not displaying it... so far ?

( It is better to see once - than to hear 100 times... )

Just a "constructive question"... nothing more, nothing less.

yea it seems everyone is a bit confused on that part, nobody is sure weather the clouds oleg is showing us now are the clouds we're gonna see when the game is done, or just put there temporary while the real clouds get finished.

either way, i'll bet clouds are super hard to make look good, and even il2's clouds can be made to look fairly nice too.

Very nice shots ! -as usual !

A question to the dev modellers : I have the feeling that the colours of the Huricane are a bit (too ?) light, especially the dark green.
Or maybe it does come from the sun light, I don't know...

Thx for the update Oleg,

Hello Oleg,

Nice update, as usual.

One question: it seems to me that engine fire is far better than in previous shots, so, am I right? Have you worked this last period on engine fire?

Thanks,

Wonderful Update Oleg, Thank you. Tomorrow is a new day, I'm sure it will be better.

The answer to your question is actually in this thread. Oleg has stated before that he has one man working on the clouds and weather system but he has yet to implement the full weather/clouds into his game to date. Keep a look out because any time soon we are going to get a full weather update!

Nice pics Oleg. It's a detail maybe, but the callsign of He-111 in the 3rd pic looks wrong in size and position. Too big, too backwards and too low:

Even clouds in IL2’s modded versions look better than the place holders we have seen until now in BoB’s screens and I’m sure that it will be improved in the release version but let’s see what ‘modern sim’s’ can propose:

Some examples from ROF:

All these dont look bad and let’s bet that in BoB it will look even better.
