Friday 2010-10-29 Dev. update and Discussion

[Col.Flanders]

What I really love is the real-time lighting and shadows in the cockpit. It's looks so natural and correct that I guess it would be easy to take for granted or, to the uninitiated, to overlook but it really adds tons to the immersion in my opinion. Really looking forward to it!

Absolutely agree.
But I couldn't see the light reflection on a instrument moves as a plane moves. I hope to check this out.

And naturally, the trajectories of bullets should not be the same like those in the video because of the shake of a plan when it fires. I hope to check this too.

If you see grass moving in wind, you are flying too low anyway

We don't promised deep craters. They will be but not so deep. Limits in engine grid.
For the deep craters renderings with so great size of map modelled you will need to wait 4-5 new generations of computers that to make it in flight sim visible completely in 3D, but not in 3D+2D. Crater has way more polygons that any of the complex building. And it is irregular in form.

I'm speaking of picture 3. It's a slow gameplay part and here it doesn't look convincing that grass is gone in that distance.
So Oleg can you tell me how deep and what radius is possible in BoB?

Oleg may I marry your daughter? I will just ask access to the SoW beta before, as a proof of her love

[76.IAP-Blackbird]

I would say you will see in thefinished product, otherwise create a new Card with gras render possibiliteis for SOW,

To me it looks as though the grass cut off is the mown runway. Beyond the flat strip grass texture appears again to a level consistant with the greater distance. Everything else is just amazing too. The video shows the game will be so much more natural and lifelike. Even the English accent is perfect for a lot of the people who were officers back then. Constructive critisism is great but I sort of wish people would remember it is a sim played on computers that have limited abilities that even Oleg can't overcome.

Nothing wrong with that, but it's all about programming.
Computers have permanently developed better and better since the last 9 years. But SoW BoB doensn't look like 9 years better than IL-2.
Anyway, I can't wait to get my hands on that before christmas.

Binaural sound . Great for headphone users like me.

Thanks Oleg.

Oleg, a glimpse.
