All I can say is that visuals seem fantastic.
This cockpit, oh my, what a joy

I'm really looking forward to know more about other important parts of the game

Its prob just me, but I think this game looks pretty bad

.
I've been playing Il-2 1946 a lot over the years, and lately also some BOP on xbox. I almost preffer the way the 1946 planes look

. When I see the outside picture of the spit, I think it looks strange, it looks like it does not belong in the surroundings and it looks fake.

Also the ground, just looks lame to me. The ground in BOP is insanely great, the ground in 1946 is very basic. But I actually like the 1946 ground more the the sow ground. The sow ground looks like the ground of a old adventure game

.

I'd rather see a BOP port to PC. And after porting, just improve the flight models a bit to be more like 1946.

I reallllly like the first screen of the cockpit:http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0100.jpg

but the 2nd screen just makes me laugh:http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0101.jpg

http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0126.jpg <-- in those spit exterior screens, you can see every moddel layer or something :S. anyways, I think it just looks weird :S. Also the lighting looks strange

I think I read somewhere that lighting etc was still getting improved? so if thats the case, than by all mean ignore the comments about that

Dont get me wrong, If the gameplay is better than that of 1946, Its the game for me, but the looks of the game kind of anoy me

I think that that map is intended to be a on-line furball quick action map...but I understand what you are saying, you are seeking realism, and are a simer at heart, as am I

Looks like a scene from Shrek.

Hmm.... I'm sure that this map will be one of the most playable in online later.
Reading sugguesions of thousands users in the past for online gameplay we did it then(Ihave great compilation of users suggestions on my PC, accumulated for a long life of Il-2 on the market. Also this map will show most of the features for third party map creators... Don't you think about it?
This online map demonstrating already too much that no one sim had in the past and probably long time will not have.... Adn I especaiily don't show all things on this map that we have there for demostration of 3D engine features that never was present in any sim and are useful also for the ground-water-underwater based gameplay.

When I posted first in game shots of Il-2... some said that there isn't nothing new.... Then I begun to post later new and new shots of development progress and same these guys begun to say that it is too beatiful that to be real thing in the game.... The Il-2 then became N1 WWII sim in the world...

Where is the war?
Where is the storm?
Why there is no soul in this game and looks like any other 5 years old directX game?

With over 80% of the game finished...

I am trying really hard to avoid any sarcastic comments about the "teletubbies",
the "middle earth" and so on...

Regards,

Morgoth, that's probably because we've got used to those weathered skins on IL-2. Check Oleg's news topic, it has some pictures showing how weathering will work.

It will look better after some sorties, don't worry

.

Plus, if you don't like the defaults, you can make your own skins, as we're used to do on IL-2.

And, at last, it's not even beta, and if I got it right, the graphics are going to look way better than now.

thats what im counting on and expecting

. I dont need it to look anywhere near the graphics of BOP. But I just want it to look 'realistic'... not strange like it does now. Like I said 1946 works for me in sense of 'realistic'. Just in the way that it all looks 'correct'... wich the screens of sow do not.

I'll be waiting for new screens, I do hope it is indeed very much pre-beta, and this is just to give us an idea.

Am I the only one that thinks BoP graphics are too exaggerated? Images are a bit blurry, there's that dark ambient all around it, perfect for a console simulator, aiming for a younger audience, or those fighter pilot romances, but I don't think I would like it on Storm of War. It's supposed to be REAL. Tell me, when you take a plane for vacation, a business meeting or something, the view you get is anything close to what you see in Birds of Prey? It may look good, I agree, but it isn't very photorealistic. I didn't mean to offend anyone, it's just my opinion.
