Very good points made there

i do disagree about the clouds though; they look awesome, but there's something that to me didn't look right. If Oleg was under the impression they were amazing, he may not feel the need to change them. I did my research and if the 3D model could be altered they'd look staggering, I am sure.
I was checking out some of the DCS videos, and in the new game the clouds looked quite good to me; as they had a prominant shadow where the sun wasn't shining on them. I will check, but I haven't really noticed this in SoW. Of course; what we're seeing is by no means final But it's worth noting in any case I think.

"If Oleg was under the impression..."

Look, he's been in the air before , he knows what clouds look like.
Unlike the hurri cockpit where he didn't know whether it says "wait" or "12volt", but honestly, I wouldn't give a sh1t about either.

If they look they way they look right now, there's a reason for it.
Also the game is almost done and I wouldn't want it delayed just to have some flat bottomed clouds!


Stfu, wait for it's release, complain and help for the 1st patch.

STFU? Slightly harsh, I'm only posting my opinion. I wouldn't care if the clouds were improved 2 updates down the line. I'm just posting my opinion based on what I see everyday, and also around scientific fact. Just because Oleg sees it a certain way doesn't make it right. Il-2 was awesome, but if one knit-picked it, there are areas that aren't necessarily 100% accurate (like the clouds...)
I'm not saying that SoW should be perfect in every-way; my point is that I think the cloud model could be improved to make the game look a bit more awesome That's all; I don't even think the job would be that hard, but then I'm only guessing.
I, too, don't want the game delayed for this reason. I'm just giving Oleg ideas for post-release patches

That's all

Thanks major_setback.

Some great pics there.

Can't wait to get a big friday update tomorrow.

I have a feeling that we are not going to see anymore updates for a while.

Sadly.

That's not a good solution.

You really need to go away till the game is released...come back in one year

Tree you'll like this. There's one thing and it's a big thing that I hate about this sim. The arena! Back and forth back and forth, what is it 15 minutes to get over there? You have to fly the slowest ugliest 109 in the war....pooey. I hope to god North Africa comes quickly because I suck in that E.

[Richie]

This is what I'm waiting for!
