Meanwhile, hey Oleg how about a visual demo of (say)trees rendered first under DX9c, then DX10, then DX11? I'm hoping this is a request that's simple to grant. Of course I'm assuming it's already in the code for SoW_Bob.
Flyby out

We using the code of trees that we bought from third party. Currently there is just couple of trees type. They are in development. That speed up he development we decided to use not our own code in some of the parts. It seems that some parts is cheaper to buy and use than to develope ourselves like in the past... in the past we were developng everything ourselves.

in DX10 and 11 they will looks similar. DX11 will give advantage in other items. Can't them name all at the moment.

Oleg, I have no doubt you and your team will provide an amazing sim that defines the genre.

Please take the time to create something that we can instantly recognise as worthy of the Maddox name.

Would this be SpeedTree? Some pretty impressive stuff can be done with this from what I've seen!

Yes, their basic code and our modifications. We need to make more large distance of view with the high quality using this code.

This is great news, SpeedTree do a wonderful job.

Which version οφ σπεεδτρεε Σιρ ?

[ECV56_Lancelot]

I think a good way would be this:

1) You got realistic limited 6dof view with track ir.

2) You got realistic limited 6dof view using the keyboard.
- Num keyboard snap view like IL-2
- SHIFT Num keyboard 2-4-6-8: slide the view left, right, foward, backwar.
- Alt Num keyboard 2-4-6-8 rotate view down, left, right and up (POV Hat of hotas as mouse does the same)
- SHIFT Num keyboard 3 and 9, slide view upwards and downward.

3) A key combination, just like SHIFT-F1, that fast and smoothly slide the view to have the gunsight centered. On allied aircraf it either does nothing or does the same but you´ll see the gunsight slide to your left.
This last view with a menu checkbox option where you can make it sticky or not. That way you can have to keep it pressed to have the gunsight centered, or you have to press one to have gunsight centered, and again to return to cockpit centered view.

All this three alternatives are available, and you choose according to your hardware and preferences.

Just my thoughts and suggestions!

Hi Oleg, it's good to hear that you're open to using third party tech to avoid reinventing the wheel. Would you consider licensing Euphoria Euphoria technology for dynamic character animation?
