Ok Oleg i understand what you say, but you have to understand that after so many years.......

What do you think about Rise of Flight's terrain (textures, trees, grass ecc. ecc..)? I don't care a lot about SoW cockpit, aircrafts ecc. ecc. because i know they will be superb, but i'm really afraid about terrain. What you say is right, but those Jurassic pics are really terrible......however.

What is your personal task about SoW's terrain, first of all considering DX10, DX11? What do you ask to yourself about its quality?

..not only screens but also gameplay videotrailers was presented.

2all - it based on project priorities which things are finished\polished first in development stages.

I'll answer for Oleg. He was horribly late for an appointment as he was posting the update, so he ran off as soon as he hit Submit.

The screenshots were taken on several computers, mostly on an Intel Core 2 2.66GHz with 2 Gigs of RAM and an NVidia 8800 GTX and a Athlon 64 3800+ 2.0 GHz with 2 Gigs of RAM and an NVidia 260.

We can't tell you yet about minimum specs for release, it's too early for that. Those are usually determined towards the end of a beta test.

And you can get a steady framerate with those graphics settings on a mid range gaming PC like one of the ones you mentioned?

Thanks for all the answers Ilya. It's really heart-warming to see the project still going ahead full steam Do you guys happen to have any estimates for a release date, BTW, or is it still too early for that?

Fair enough that you can't say exactly what the specs will be as we all know that things change. But, any chance posting the fps, especially the minimum at least with those two rigs?

BTW, OM, thanks for the awesome update, my jaw hit the floor when I saw the first one showing the spit pit. WOW!!!

for me it's the best beautiful cockpit I have seen and it's look as a 3D view , simply fantastic !!

also I like on the screen 168 ( bf110) how lighting take a realistic aspect to the wing ( not perfectly plane ) and to the cockpit with the subtle shadow on the nose plane

about lighting , reflections between objets will be implanted or not ? for exemple the sea reflect on the plane .


as you say the colors are not final for grass , tree , water , sky , but what about look or texture for tree ? because even with other color I d' ont like the trees ( and I d' ont see how it's look near them )

for exemple in this screen we have more details for trees :

as you say I hope that the nature will be fine as the spitfire cockpit in the futur , perhaps it 's the most difficult to render ( as human texture )
