You, as proved by this really "useful" comment, aren't.

OMG , I hope you dont build the aircraft I fly in with that kind of forward thinking.

Hi,

Early in-game video. DX9 render and basic untuned effects. Do not forget – WIP!
Tracers are also WIP



In this thread the first post from Oleg, you should adjust comments to suit his statement regarding what you are seeing.

Constructive criticism is a very good thing, but I see nothing in that video that requires negative feedback, that the developer isn't already well aware of. I'm not sure that negative reinforcement is a good thing, but that's just me.

"Yes, just what the pro's need, a bunch of f*****g Amateurs giving advice."

That was my first idea, but then: I just find it disturbing that so many people say, in different words, that OM doesn't know what he is doing.

Hey, what do you guys think? Is their a missing texture here? It kind of looks like the back of the engine is missing...

This is know as a SHADOW.
When the sun's rays are blocked they are created.

Unfortunately, people begin already to fight about minor details.
What will it be like, when the game comes out and FM discussions start to pop up?
The forum will be a battlefield...

A lot of the 'fighting' seems to be over imaginary details, rather than anything Oleg has actually shown us. I think there are enough knowledgeable people in the IL-2 community to have a rational discusion about FMs etc, but this will to some extent depend on forum moderators - not that I'm any way criticising the moderation here - and also on a bit of goodwill from everyone. I suspect most of us will be too blown away by everything for the first month or two to get into major rows over the flight model details.

I'm sure we will see more and more as time goes by. More impressive things. I'd like to see the 109 cockpit, judging from the interview that check 6 did I think it's done.

LOL...sarcasm, now thats clever.

Ya, I thought of the shadow thing...it just looks odd, being the same hue as the sky behind it. That and the shadow dosn't move as the aeroplane tilts. I'm sure it probably is just a shadow...but its a different shade then the shadow on the fuselage.
