So today is a tiny update............

Oleg, I can't find this question being asked before but will SoW be geared towards NvIdia's "The Way Its Meant To Be Played" technology?

Hope you can say.

The clouds over the London city shot ....Would that be a first glance at the new weather system ?

Beautiful !

Salute !

Come on guys, read the text Oleg provided for goodness sake!

The first 2 shots are just pictures, NOT from the game. London, weather, aircraft...nothing to do with the live action at all.

I would say that they are screenshots reworked in Photoshop. Am I right, Oleg?

The Hurri pic it just lovely... though that grass bug is definitely going to require squashing!

It would be nice to see the grass leading to the final resting place of the Hurri flattened down, but I can live without that level of detail... perhaps something for a patch a year or two down the road?

OFF TOPIC will get you a minimum 1 week ban in SOW update threads

It's starting to scare me the level of photorealism of this sim...

Backgrounds ...What makes you conclude that these are not from the game, with some photoshop or something ?
Oleg said that the weather system, including clouds were almost done and needed to be integrated in the engine...Therefore my question: would that be a first glance at what is coming...
And if I am wrong, well Oleg will tell me...If he thinks my question is way off, well, he'll ignore it...Simple , no ?

Salute

Yeah, well I do believe these are shots taken from the game, at least it looks like it, the trees, buildings. The clouds...??
I think, just a hunch, that the cottonballs are a placeholder for sth totally wonderful... seeing all the stuff being so realistic I can't imagine the final clouds being the cottonballs we've seen so far, but we'll see, it's a mysterious shot anyway

Exactly...Placeholders I am sure of that...Because Oleg did mention that final clouds and other features were done by only one guy in his team...That's why it took a while, and his work was not yet intergrated in SOW's engine...But maybe it is now but not ready for playabilty , but ok for screenshots....
So that picture could show some of the new clouds system....

Salute !
