It doesn't yet.
And it is a good idea to let Oleg know that; just in case he can't see it. Or should we wait with that until after release?

Oleg is a photographer, a good one too, I'm pretty sure he can see it. Oh, not to mention the fact that these shots were very clearly labeled WORK IN PROGRESS....

It all a balancing act, getting all the graphics, fm, dm, ai, and moving weather pattern detail working with useable frame rates.

Oleg how are your frame rates issues at the moment? I would imagine you have alot of fine tuning to do to see what details can be kept and what details have to be delayed for future releases.

Hi Oleg,

Good job! Apart from goodies like pleasant trees and grass (the more the better of course ), please pay great attention to the invisible yet fundamental parts, like DM and weapon modeling.

The Il2 history shows us that unfortunately the original flaws and mistakes of machine guns modeling or certain planes' damage model made their way until nowadays, probably with copy-paste from patch to patch.

You can always add later a tree or a spring flower ...

Respectfully,
Insuber

Maybe my impression is "off" here...but some of these comments seem a little petty. Is the reality that a lot of people have just run out of things to comment about, or do people really think that Oleg is incapable of improving on the fantastic sim that he has created?

Every new update Oleg makes now lead to the most surreal of tangents...

First people mock the animated grass...now people claim the game is ruined if the trees are wrong (lol)...

People are tired of waiting for the sim, but at the same time they voice a concern in regards to unimpressive scenery...

The more I think about it the more I think that people have just run out of things to say (lol).

OK, now "my" pointless comments are over...

We all want this game to be as realistic as possible. If we give advice, help, or even criticism, then it is in order to reach that goal.
It is not my aim or anyone else's, I believe, to offend.

Eh, wasn't really "offended"...more (maybe) disappointed. Cheers anyway...

Bit of an exaggeration Proton, no? If it is a crime wanting England to look as much like England as possible, then I am guilty as charged (lol). Of course, others may think that in what is "not a ground sim", details like opening tank doors and possibly fully animated truck gear sticks are infinitely more important than Err....England looking like England.

I will draw the line at wanting to see the disembodied Spirit of Wordsworth's 'Lucy' roaming O'er hill and dale in her frilly Nighty at dusk........But will be demanding it in the first patch

Its a crazy world we live in mate, and it would be a boring world if we were all the same *ClichesRUs*
