Snake still has to write the report. It's not at that forum yet.
BTW, I noticed this interesting land geometry engine:
It's still in development, but it seems to have a pretty realistic look while being capable of rendering the entire planet. Although it's a completely different engine, I'm curious as to how SoW will appear when it's ready. I should mention that flight physics don't seem to be all there, and SoW will surely excel in this regard.
If I'm correct, the BoB map won't be much bigger than Il-2's Lvov (L'viv), which is certainly not bad. The Bf-109s will already have to fly across the entire map just to get to the target. But I wonder what is the upper limit in map size for the SoW engine?
Now, it's not at all necessary to have a bigger map, but it would be nice to one day have a map that covers larger areas of land to allow B-17 missions into Germany from England, or Il-4/Pe-8 missions into Berlin from Leningrad.
If one program can render the entire planet, can SoW do a chunk, like Western Europe or the Mediterranean or the Korean peninsula, but still offer excellent flight dynamics, AI, and attention to detail?
