Friday 2010-11-26 Dev. update and Discussion

[mazex]

Bugs, what are you talking about? Shouldn't the landing lights have a backup battery and turn on if the wing gets disconnected from the fuselage?

[heywooood]

nice shots Oleg, thanks for keeping the Friday Updates going.

looking forward the next 'bigger' update ahead

the lighting, weather, and engine fire/smoke effect look terrific as does the battle damage and overall atmospheric modeling that is apparent from these few shots.

any chance of an ingame cockpit screenshot looking through gunsight reticle whilst firing at a target aircraft? Hurri, Spit, 109, doesn't matter

also - in Wings of Prey - there is something called 'blur' which adds a sense of speed by 'blurring' the textures of the passing terrain to either side of the center of POV in the cockpit....will your sim offer this feature as an option?

I'm also curious about rain in SOW - will there be a rain effect on the windscreen/canopy glazing and can we see a WIP shot of that from inside the cockpit inflight?

I hope my asking these questions will not cause Ilya to cancel the project...haha

So today is a tiny update. Next probably will be much better. And I know about the bug that is visible on the shot with Hurricane

Couple of backgrounds from the game menus and 3 shots:

Very nice shots ! -as usual !

A question to the dev modellers : I have the feeling that the colours of the Huricane are a bit (too ?) light, especially the dark green.
Or maybe it does come from the sun light, I don't know...

Thx for the update Oleg,

Nice pics Oleg. It's a detail maybe, but the callsign of He-111 in the 3rd pic looks wrong in size and position. Too big, too backwards and too low:

Why the tree didn't cut off the right wing of Hurricane on fifth shot?

[JG52Krupi]

How do you know it slid in from that angle, it could have slid in and ended up on its side...

If there were tracks we could tell

Wasn't it SaQSoN saying there won't be damage trails on the ground?

The bug is quite obviously the landing light reflecting as if there is no grass in front of it.

I turn the clouds off in IL*2 because the AI shoot me through them. If the AI can't see me through the clouds in SoW, I will be able to turn the clouds on, which means they will be 100% better than the clouds in IL*2, no matter what they look like.
