Friday 2010-09-24 Dev. update and Discussion

Oleg thanks for the update, you mention that some things you intended for the first release will not make it, can you you confirm that Direct X 11 and a dynamic weather system are not amongst the things you are leaving out, I ask because as of yet we haven't seen any of these.

Also will the aircraft skins and ground vehicles be treated to some weathering before release?

Could you also go more into depth on the things that wont make the initial release,


many thanks

hope oleg are talking about trees! are very complex. so much resources for trees taken from the videocard. or options low quality trees at least.

in 2008 talk about clouds have its own turbulences and dynamic weather system. That stuff take so much resources of the cpu and memory.

I can't think of any other think right now that oleg concerned

I would hate to see some pilot(which is not me*) in cockpit.
If this is an on/off feature, I wouldn't care.


*unless you can design him/her. size, weight, clothes...
well, maybe not. lol

Already been said that it's not going to happen.

Fantastic update Oleg thank you!

Nice update, I like the shots showing planes (lightings, textures, reflections, shadowing ... are great) but the terrain looks strange to me. The vehicles seem to stand on a golf course and the grass is not dense enough. The ground looks too flat to me and the textures should be more photorealistic but maybe this is intentional, in order to spare some polygons to save the FPS or it's still WIP. Anyway, the general impression is very positive and realictic althought i think that in some views it looks too much like a slightly improved IL2 (but again WIP should be the reason).

I hope to see soon some screen with some anti-aliasing, it will mean that the problem with the graphic drivers are on a good way to be solved and that the release date is near

I would also like to say that I know that it must be a great challenge to build an ambitious sim like SOW BoB and I'm happy that there are guy's like Oleg who work with passion and take finencial risks to build us the sim we love and allow us to eat something more refinade than the usual microsoft s..

Good work Oleg, I wish you a lot of success !

It's just not right to look down & see nothing. Am I right?

Rall, we had this debate in depth (and this forum knows how to do 'in depth' ) about 9 months ago!

Suggest you do a search to read the various opinions.

Short answer though is that it isn't going to happen. Better get used to it.

Sorry, I didn't know it had already been brought up.
