Aww, give little Tree a break...he probably doesn't see any difference. This is just the reason why so many game makers "over saturate" the look of their new releases with the latest "gee wiz" DX enhancements. The game makers try and hit us over the head with an over the top panorama of dazzling effects...this tactic tends to impress the average game player.

Jeez, calm down girls, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I did say in my post that i recognise how good the lighting is, but the overaul feel for me is still Il2-ish, but like i said its still a WIP. No doubt when we see it in all its glory in directX 11 it will look stunning. Now put your hand bags down.

Well it was a rather bold statement you did, no offense but there is a huge difference in lightning, models, terrain, effects etc.. if you can't see that then well sad enough.

Dx 9 , Dx10 , Dx11 won't make any wonders the game will look gorgeous in DX9 as well. What DX10 , DX11 does technically ain't something that will make an "ugly" game in dx9 , "beautiful/stunning" in Dx10,11.

I wish I knew what cards they were using? i7 975 and Radeon 5970s?

Very nice video with a lot of nice details.

Yes, it's still WIP, but looking at the screenshots from just 3-4 months ago, it's a real jawdropped what you accomplished in the short time. And let's not forget: This is just the eyecandy! Can't wait to see what's under the hood of SOW.

A thing we really need for movie-making is Z-axis rotation for the camera.

In all the flight sims out so far, you can never get the horizon to be anything but straight and level. No good for movies that!

We need Z-axis rotation for dynamic shots, tilted horizons, dramatic screenies and movies. Please look into it, it should not be difficult at all to program.
