Wow, the texture work on that cockpit its amazing. The wood and metal from the plates looks perfect to me.

Though I don't think that graphics are the most serious part of a game, my opinion so far is that graphics are much alike IL-2's graphics.
I don't see any revolution there, and that's why I say this mandra to myself. I want to be sure that final product in high-detail mode will be surprisingly good...

You are referring to the aircrafts particularly, or graphics in general? Because if its about the aircraft, i think they are excellent, and would like to know what you mean with "revolution"on that subject. I think its reasonable that the BoB aircraft (exterior and cockpit) are more an evolution because already the IL-2 cockpits are in the majority very good.
Now if you are refering to graphics in general, i understand your concern because only the basic has been showed to us on that area.

Happy twenty ten all !


Amazing view of the front and rear flight deck, full of crispy details and differences. (to mention the Cheese-cutter trim and altitude control lever)


Makes me wonder if the 'Windy' speed indicator is spring loaded and the Auto Slots could be locked ?

Lovely pictures! I'm really interested in how the terrain will finally look. I'll be surpried if I get an answer here, but will is square up to WoP? I mean, the terrain in WoP is slightly cartoony, but is better than most sims that are available. The auto-pop detail in WoP is extraudinary: could we see something better in SoW?

@ TreeThanks for the update, obviously theres alot more work to be done before finished but it looks like your at least halfway there.

Maybe it's supposed to be a surprise?

Pros: Good Attention to detail

Cons: Washed out low poly look as usual (stop this crap), over-weathered, dull .... this is not 2010 quality ....

Conclusion: Looks like IL2 ......

Hey, c'mon Protos - that compass has more polys than a whole train in IL2

Love the cockpit - having flown the Moth myself it's especially fun to see it. Even though you will unfortunately never get the "wind in your hair" and smell simulation needed to complete an open cockpit simulator

Great work!

Would be nice if you could get over your WoP is better than BOB fixation long enough to see what is in front of your eyes.

How can you look at Pics 4, 5 and 6 and say that?

Some of us are too fixated on oversaturated, whiz-bang graphics to know what a good sim even is, I suspect. Even if SoW looked like IL-2 (which it almost certainly will not), it would hardly be the end of the world. Just as long as the flight modelling, damage modelling, and all the other things that go on behind the scenes (and thus what makes a sim a sim) are improved accordingly, I will be happy.

Haha! I guess so. It's the guts of the sim that really matter. Cutting edge graphics are just icing on the cake.
