Hahahahahahhaha! This from somebody who can't even read what Oleg actually posts? LMAO!

Well...im also dissapointed "so far" with the landscape that we have seen. im hoping it will be much better by the time i get to play the game myself.

Like ive said before...we dont know what settings or setup Oleg is running to take screenshots, so its hard to judge the final look of the landscape.

Everything else Oleg has shown, from aircraft, ground units, clouds, damage model and crew has been fantastic and will set a new standard for flight sim.

The stuff he hasnt shown like, flight model, sound and others stuff im sure will also be great.
Taking all that into account, for me thats why im dissapointed "so far" with the landscape.

Show me. What have I done to upset you? I posted saying I wasn't happy with the clouds, and I think they could do with a bit of work to look 2010 quality.
I have always been grateful of Oleg's work; if I wasn't, I wouldn't send him dozens of research pages that he asked me to send him. What have you done to help him? Nothing.
Thankyou.

My original post. What is ungrateful about this:
Oleg, are the clouds shown final? They look quite nice, but IMHO are a bit grey? Also, they still look quite cotton-ballish. I hope this makes sense. I am sure it can be a feature that will always be tweaked from release, but this is just my two pence. Have a great weekend

Just my honest opinion from looking at the shots. No-one can tell me otherwise what I will think, or indeed try to put words in my mouth. Oleg has not said much on the clouds, other than the fact it won't be a cloud sim. I agree with him here, but I think they could be refined.
I posted a quote about this type of clouds. If you take my humble question, and try and twist it and laugh at me, then I will always reply to you. Can't we just enjoy the updates in our own way? I'd rather write a few lines on aspects that I feel need a bit of work compared to essays of praise (which I could easily write BTW).

Btw Philip, I wasn't calling you rude earlier. You're not! (just to be clear)

[philip.ed]

OK, thankyou

I hate having to split hairs. All I'm saying is just let me be me. I love these updates that Oleg posts as they are all coming together to show me the sim I dreamed of flying when I was a kit. CFS1 answered that prayer, then Fighter Squadron, then CFS2, then Il-2, then BoB2 and now this.



I understand I must sound like an old record, as I have mentioned the clouds a number of times, but Oleg seemed to be replying quite a lot so I thought he may decide to answer the question

Good Grief.
Is anyone prepared to have a sensible discussion at all?

[philip.ed]

Do you take 2 sugars with that?

Usually just the one, but I've got to go to work for a couple of hours, so I'll catch up with the latest episode of 'Soap' about six-ish.

Ok.. here's my attempt.

2 SoW shots, Saturation and contrast increased. (just to see what's there colour wise)

Terrain looks a lot better in your shots. Do you have the possibilities to only change the color of a certain part of an image? If so, could you leave the planes colors how they are and change the terrain colors like you have done?

Would look awesome I think.
