Friday update and discussions 2011-03-04

I haven't been around since quite some time now and the last I saw of SoW were out-of-engine renders of ingame assets.

I must say I'm quite impressed.
Overall it seems like an up-to-date variant of what we all know and love.

But still I have to ask wether the clouds are temporary or not?
They seem like placeholders straight from IL-2 and the new lighting engine rather literally shines a spotlight on their slight antiguity.

To be honnest, I am not really impressed... "Wings of pray" had better visuals of ground.

Generally, I was hoping for some last minute surprise in graphics of ground and clouds.
This is year 2011, so these visuals are OK... but not impressive.

I've been following screenshots updates for many, many months... I honestly can't see what is so new in these 2 videos - that we haven't seen so far in update screens ?

This is brand new project... and should look much better than moded "Il-2 1946" but, except dynamic lightning and cockpit graphics, it is not the case.

Simulation feeling will be great, Oleg is master, number 1 in that field... but I was expecting better, more realistic clouds and ground visuals...

Just my calm analyses... nothing more - nothing less...

( no need to start the third wolrd war by fan-boys... or forum "inquisition" cry: to ban the member who dared to analyse the presentation )

Has anyone noticed this, though? The Hurricane Wall-paper shows a mirrored Hurricane. The serial code is in reverse. Hopefully this can be edited.

Oleg / Ilya any chance you can flip the Hurricane image back so the Squadron codes and seriel number are not back to front on the wallpaper?

I will do it myself tomorrow and post it here...if nobody else gets in first..



Any chance of a video of a tank battle, one thing I loved to do in IL2 was to watch a good land battle going on while my plane is on auto going to next waypoint, just a simple few tanks in a field would be nice...i'm not looking for a huge tankfest in London...while bombers fly overhead and fighters dog fight as well !! ( wonder what that'll do to the FPS ??!! )


Prehaps Ilya's " drown in videos" was a typo? With always some negative comments, prehaps he was saying " frown at videos "

Counting the days...

Yup, I noticed this too, but didn't want to comment and attract the WP (Whine Police)
