Observations:
1:10/1:11 - Splash in the sea. One would have expected an expanding ring (texture) that would have disolved in 3-4 seconds.
2:43/2:44 - A halo around the aircraft, when smoke envelopes the plane
3:17 - Cockpit in the mirror has some flashing happening. Shadow or canopy.

If that's all I can "complain" about, it's great and beautiful. Ready for 'Gold', as it would not stop anyone buying it. :)

I agree about the splash; it looked fake.

I agree about the splash; it looked fake. But I'd imagine this is very WIP. It'd make sense, as most of the effects still look as though they are being heavily finetuned. I'd imagine this will be an ongoing process right until, and after, release. ;)

I noticed it, but you have certainly touched on something here :D I hadn't thought of this myself. Excellent suggestion I must say. The only thing to consider is how this smog looks. Is it just like a fog? or is it heavier and blends with the clouds?

Everything looks fantastic. . . but I was wondering about the flames.

When looking at the flames with the aircraft in front of in them, there is a bright white outline of the plane structure. Is this from lower settings being used or something that still has to be ironed out. To me it looks like someone photoshopping the aircraft in front of the flames without blending it properly, or is it the reflection from the flames on the edge of the aircraft surfaces?

Everything else looks amazing, just wondering about that one issue.

I've noticed it too. A glowing contour detaching the plane from the smoke ... ugly. I'm sure it's WIP.

If you look at the far horizon behind the 109 looking seaward, there's a band of 'atmospheric distortion cum mist' that looks a murky yellow colour. Coupled with the seamist effect, you'd get the 'dirty yellow, curry coloured, smoggy smoke' that Wellum speaks of.

I've no idea if that's technically possible of course!
Or if it's possible to have it 'hanging' over the city and petering out, but here's hoping.:)
I could happily live without it though.:)

Yeah.

Rewatching the clip, I also noticed at 2:35 that the impacts are behind the Blen. Or is something else going on? Hmmm...
