I truly hope we will be flying by October .
Your work is very amazing and can't wait to immerse oneself into BOB.

Getting kinda depressing with all the bad PC games lately, the industry is going over the top casual even for the "arcade" shooters,
heck even Call of Duty used to be fun and PC exclusive back in the days. Did buy BFBC2 tho, a decent BF title yet so console influenced compared to previous PC iterations. .

Soon they are gonna make games that just wins themselves with a push of a button...
And i mean when Quake 1, Cs 1.6 had more server sided options than 95% of any modern game you know where things are going.

I can probably say that the only real PC games i am gonna enjoy fully this year will be
Red Orchestra 2 , Arma 2 Arrowhead and Storm of War Battle of Britain.

Dunno why i mentioned this, just felt like it, ranting a bit sorry 1C, Tripwire is amongst a few developers who still bring hope

Chasing the graphics dragon is killing the industry, IMO. Look at Mount&Blade...one of the most fun games I've ever played and yet 90% of the people who see it for the first time are so obsessed with the idea that a game's worth is measured in how good it looks that they just go "looks crap" and don't play it. Thank God they got enough attention to develop Warband and bring the graphics up to a level that FPS players will accept.

I really doubt many of the textures used in those screenshots are final... if they are, its with the graphics features pretty much turned off... those graphics were definitly directx 9 there's no tesselation... the shadows are super low quality... and unless all those planes were brand spanking new off the factory floor... i doubt they'd be so sparkly clean heck even no dirt on the wheels...

if anything i'd say... the graphics represented in those screens is what the game look like to those who can play il2 1946 on perfect settings w/o AA/AF right now... that is... keeping in mind the textures are definitly not done... im only thinking this because they wouldn't release a game that couldn't be played on the majority of peoples computers... and i'd say nowadays most peoples computers can run 1946 on perfect settings...

Yeah, those are definitely just extremely low-res textures.
