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.

Good point, the "lighting" is off or something. They should adjust that a bit.

Default Why those reactions....?

Well, I think this could be one reason why we are a bit ...disapointed...by the new update....
If we compare what we got in the past updates, and what we have now...
The "ingame" objects look , lets say, not as good as the other ones...

Ingame:

http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grab0110.jpg

Old updates:

http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/vvv-03_03.jpg
http://files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/grass.jpg

So it looks like a step backwards....I am not saying it is...But this is what we got after months of waiting...


But lets give a chance to Oleg and his team, and cross our fingers !

Best regards to the IL2 fans...

Good point.

The cockpit looks simply AMAZING. I mean it, AMAZING - photorealistic.
Models of Spitfire and 110 are very nice, but look a bit like they're made of plastic right now (alpha footage, so that's understandable).
The ground, however, looks very disappointing - but it's WIP, so here's hoping it will look just as good as in Birds of Prey, if not better.

I hope you'll support DX11.

Overall, thank you for the updates, looking forward to future ones.

The old pictures are taken from editors, the new pictures are taken ingame.

That's no step in any direction, that's two different pairs of shoes.


@ Bloblast screenshot from BoP:

It does look good because of three things:

1. It a finish game, not WIP as SoW.
2. Because of No 1 it has enabled filters, as opposed to the screenshots OM posted.
3. It's concentrated on Hollywoodgraphics.


If you'd strip the filters from BoP, it won't look much different.



But at least you support Oleg in one point he made earlier on: If he'd post pictures from the unfinished product, everyone would complain, because it wouldn't look like the finished product. Seems he knows his community pretty well after all.

That is true...So ? Still, the editor pictures look better than the ingame...
And we all assume that the ingame should be as good or even better ...Don't we? Look at the cockpits...They do look as good....

So, if your are talking shoes now, beeing married for 16 years, I can assure you that you would NEVER persuade your wife that the cheapest pair does look as good as the expensive ones by saying: Honey, it's not that they're not looking as good, they are just different pairs of shoes...."

Salute !

Guys we really shouldn't pass any judgement on what we have seen so far, they are just some examples that Oleg has posted to show that work is in progress, obviously like feuerfalke has said there is more work to do, I dont think for one minute that the landscape we are currently seeing is anything like finished. Concentrate on the Spit cockpit - wonderful.

As someone who has spent his whole life approaching land from the sea, a sand beach is a necessity to look realistic...more white paint Oleg

You are absolutely right. I am very confident that the finished game will look superb. I have great respect for Oleg and his team.
I was just surprised by the number of negative responses following the new update, and wondered why.
So my conclusion was that we were used to get, during the last 2 years, very nice looking screens from planes, terrain and objects. I compared the new screens with the ones we had seen for sooooo long and found that the quality was...hum... different. That could explain the "emotionnal " reaction .......Otherwise, we would have had only positive reactions...Would'nt we ?
So lets move on and wait till Oleg says " Its finnished ! " Then , and only then
we will be able so criticize his work...
Salute !

I agree, they are using a too broad pencil while drawing - but that's the whole console concept... Larger than life. We nerds just want it as dull as it is IRL (but not duller like Dragon Rising!)
