Friday 2011-01-21 Dev. update and Discussion

[zauii]

Funny how people keep whining about the screen shots, even with AA magic wont happen, and in my eyes the screens are just fine..
We've seen the insane details thats been put into the models already and in the videos we've seen you can really see the amazing lightning and effects etc.

You also have to remember that static screen shots always look worse than the thing itself in motion,
but i personally don't see anything wrong with them and I am very thankful for Oleg and the dev team and all their hard work.. people should appreciate it more.

Last but not least people whining about the marketing, i am just wtf? First of all both the trailer and screens are just fine,
secondly it defiantly looks 2011 or you should have your eyes fixed.(talking about the trailer) Thirdly this is only the beginning of the marketing, maybe take a chill pill ?

Off-Topic

It never fails, why you guys can't stay on topic.

I can understand an ignorant person not knowing how to stay on topic, but I don't think that is the case around here. I think it has to be a contempt thing. You have contempt for the developer and air it out when they are just trying to respond to the community with updates.

Many of you probably deserve a ban, then we get to read all your whines about how you are being picked upon.

If you have made Off topic postings... go back and edit or delete them.

This is where it's going:

At the end of this day, Friday (today, date of the the update), if things don't change this thread will be locked. You can then whine, share your disdain and lack of respect for the developer on some other site.

Numerous complaints for Off-topic have been reported.

Oleg: a little suggestion, haven't seen anyone mention this recently. How about a little exhaust smoke when the throttle of the fighter is slammed to Full Boost? There have been mention of this smoke in pilots' accounts and in fact I've seen it myself from WWII aircraft at airshows. It is something that occurred to me when looking at the last screenshot, especially.

Ya not to nit pick, thanks for the photos but I couldnt help but notice again the AA is off/low which is very distracting. Also the field texture looks very low res...

Plane models look good though and I like the tracer smoke/wake/trails.

i for one cannot wait. looks awesome.

Brilliant update. I like the Defiant.

A small note: I wish the roads were a bit more brown-grey, rather than blue-grey. There is an overall blue look to the towns which looks unnatural to me.

A screenshot from the trailer ..look at the terrain. Also how do you post big pics all of mine come out as thumb nails. It happens at 1:15 in the trailer. Like Ilya said before most of this footage was taken of of his "Crap" PC ...god knows why but this part where this 109 zooms by smoothly must be off of a faster computer whith that terain too.

I noticed that too, man. That terrain shot at 1:15 looks brilliant. "Cinematic" even. The atmospheric perspective, colors, trees, and textures are all spot on.
