Friday 2011-01-21 Dev. update and Discussion

Tracers look impressive from outside. Are the exhaust flames reduced in brightnes, so they show only in low light conditions? I don't notice them in the screenshots.

Great stuff, as usual. Next week, a video!!! (I know. wishful thinking. But whats wrong with that?? ) BTW, that last picture of the 110 firing on the Hurricane: those puffs of smoke from the cannon look just awesome! Thanks, man!

Looks awesome ! A question I have after seeing the official website made by UBI, it says "PC - MAC DVD ROM", does that imply Mac compatability or does that just mean that the DVD also fits in a Mac DVD drive?

The Defiant is just a dinosaur - somehow similar to an IL-2

[easytarget3]

awsome shots! Thank you! I am just wondering, are these new clouds or we will get different ones with the release? I don't mind this one at all just wondering if these are final. Thank you.

Hey Oleg,

will the game profit by 3GB graphics memory instead of 1,5 GB?
I'm asking because I'm thinking of buying a gtx 580 with 3 GB VRam.

Thanks Oleg.

Great shots.
What is the view distance for trees and objects now?

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.

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.
