What would the right colors look like?

I think resolution on surface textures are good enough for today's video card memory amount. After all we're talking about a flight sim.

Hmm, it doesn't look as good as RoF or WoP in the terrain part (I'm not talking about the first 2-sets of pics that Oleg posted BTW) so I think that it still can aim higher in that part.

IF SOW ended looking a bit not so nice than WoP in graphics , it will make sense, because WoP is all about graphics, nothing more ( I play it for three days , never fired again, because it´s not my cup of tea, really)
And SOW probably will use more realistic looking , WOP is more hollywoodish with all that green filter, impressive but I felt like I was in Mars or something...)

I know what you mean about WoP's filter, but take RoF...if it had hedgerows it could look photographic. From what Oleg said, this is meant to look photographic, but I don't think those trees look bery good at the 'mo.

Nice pictures, Oleg!

Btw, what do you think about "outerra project". They have very good looking engine for seamless planet rendering from space down to the surface.

Example is here:

Oleg has already made comments on it in last weeks update thread.

Oleg, are the atmospheric conditions being done in 1940 standards?
What I mean to say is that there was a lot less air pollution back then.
I also wanted to say that so many elements are being so well done are really coming together to make something unprecedented and truly extraordinary

A big issue will be how far you can spot a boogie and what this has to do with the graphics card power.

As you all know in a dogfight the first advantage is to see the enemy before he sees you!!
