Bullet Proof Windscreens.
 

Bullet Proof Windscreens were fitted to Spitfires and Hurricanes following experience in the Battle of France. Was it Dowding who pushed for it?

And note the cracked windscreen on the Ju 88. Excellent detail!

I don't like the way holes are modeled in the 109 canopy... They always appear in the exact same location and with a very doubtful projectile trajectory. They act like those magic bullets that were used to assassin JFK. (e.g. being shoot from behind and gaining a big hole in front of the canopy but no "enter" holes from behind.)

I know now why they call the Walrus a flying boat :grin:

After a succsessful head-on pass with my E-4 I watched a Walrus going down minus its tail. It went into a flat spin, and as I got farther I watched a tiny speck going really slowly towards the sea...not seeing any kill message in the hud window, I went to external view and had a little surprise: the damn thing had "landed" on the sea and was sailing happily towards England :-P

British engineering at it's best:cool:

Some more screens of a FMB-Mission. Movie will follow in the next days.

Those are great pics. Can't wait for the vid.

Did anyone notice that, in the first ME109/Spitfire pic,the pieces flying off are all the same shape? Also, their size doesn't seem to square with the damage. Just one of those shortcuts programmers take, I guess.

binky9

I am sure it is the same, its just the angle.

During doing those screenshots and editing the movie, I found many incredible details. I liked the game very much before, now I just love it.:cool:

Agreed, the details inside those gun turrets are just....wow. Could easily be a photo.

New version "Battle of Village". More screens and mission here.

Excellent!

Maybe we need a Damage Model screenshots thread??

Hi there fellow flyers.

Recently I've been scanning through the forums and noticed that this thread hasn't seen action for 2 months! So apologies for the bump, but I thought I would breathe some life into it.

A lot of you have been complaining about trees and textures being too light. I think you're all just rivet-counting and that some of the details in this game are fantastic! :grin:

http://s1095.photobucket.com/albums/...nt=Hurris1.jpg
I took this shot on one of the missions in the "Fat Cat Squadron" campaign. Returning to Tangmere over the coast in formation was really something. I'm getting decent FPS on moderate to high settings everywhere except London, but that's to be expected.

I haven't been able to sort out multiplayer just yet but I hope to very soon, because I'm eager for some real action.

Tally-ho, ;)
Scott.

Just started playing the game. Some of my first shots. The game looks amazing. I love the lighting in it.

Screenshot as a result of an unfortunate water landing in the Channel...this is looking up at the slowly receding surface.I almost expected to see fish...maybe a Uboat?

Insert U-96 Das Boot theme here...:D

Got in a nice tight formation down low on the ATAG server earlier and couldnt resist taking a snap:

Great shots :)bborino, I can see you have the anti-Bf109 device enabled aka flying cockpit open to hear them a mile away :D ;)

and still no link....:-(

Some more screens with injected FXAA.

Darkdeus: your game looks amazing! Those shots are simply awesome!

Very nice!

The outline of the hurri looks very smooth.. On my system planes at that distance start to look very 'jaggie' with regards to the outline..

Is the 'injected FXAA' cleaning up the 'jaggies'? If so, what settings are you using?

Thanks everyone! If you want to check out my shots in 1080p you can go here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1553935...7628615760063/
FXAA is a very efficient form of postprocess AA that is about equivalent to 4X MSAA. I get almost zero performance hit with it on. Here is a post describing it in more detail with download links as well. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...i_Aliasin.html

I take my screenshots with FRAPS. It has always been able to take them with FXAA on in any game. There is a free version available. I recommend taking .png shots and then converting them to jpegs though.

Beautiful!

Als Beutepanzer :mh:

No thank you!

Ill try those settings from SimHQ out tonight, thanks for the link!

Those are great screenshots, Darkdeus.

I've never been able to get that FXAA thing working properly for some reason :/

Brilliant shots Fuitbat! :grin: (shame about the spit markings on the Hurri though.)

Thanks,

Yeah, but whenever i use a custom skin, with the default markings off, when i play back the track, the damn default markings re appear, which looks even worse, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:evil:

mmmmmhh ... open cockpit ... you like the wind in the hair, don't you? :-D

Strictly for landings old chap,

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...8-26-40-59.jpg

Here's some cloudy day screens. I can't wait until they are able to add the dynamic weather back in. The landscape looks a lot better with some cloud shadows.

Wondered if anyone could post up the IL2 screens from the New Year post. My browser has trouble opening the embedded 1C forum images..

Thanks

Edit: Forget it. Works now, sdon't know why..

Rodolphe... gibt es die Skins noch irgendwann oder müssen wir unsere Hoffnungen aufgeben?

Super Arbeit! :)

That is a great skin.I know why your teasing us,your going to host a site for CloD and put all the others to shame arent you,ARENT YOU!!!!!!!:-)

Cheese

*sigh*.... he is doing it again...

Hahaha, I really want to be able to fly it - and other water planes. I really miss them in CloD.

Thats some lovely work there Rudolph, thanks for sharing. :grin:

If he was "sharing", he'd give us a download link. What he's doing is "showing off".

whoa..awesome

A few more.

If open the third pic you can see him bailing :D

What do you mean? I use it online no probs.

Regards.

And could be banned by vac!

Not shure about that. Several ppl using it for quite some time (me included) and my vac status is 100%.
But off course it is your call.

Regards.

Yeah I've been using it for months online and my VAC status is 100% too.

VAC is not enabled IRCC, so when it is hopefully they announce it or your going to be crying :P

Krupi, live life to the edge man. You may only live once!

I already cried what I had to, regarding this software... If I´m banned for using FXAA (with no AA available) I will waste my money and time on other titles & things.

Regards.

PS: Krupi did you tried the suggestion step by step I wrote on the other thread ( http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...21191&page=144 )? I am really curious to see how it goes in your system. The difference is quite substantial in terms of smoothness..

Yeah thanks I read it, now that I am home I will give it a blast :D.

Yeah, one day you may tell your grand kids "I defied the Steam VAC by using the FXAA "mod" for CLoD" and they'll be like "Woooow! you're a real hero grand-dad!":)........"I also played a lot of Skyrim...but then I took an arrow to the knee"

Sorry, strait jacket's loose again.

FXAA is being used by a lot of people that play ARMA2 online without problems so far. :)

And now few screenshots. I'll call this "Once upon a time in Cliffs of Dover" :(

:(

lmao

WOW!

Amazing pictures!!!!!

Hahaha exactly the image I was thinking of! :grin: LOL.

But you get my point: there's more to life than worrying about a VAC ban.

Not likely with regards to CoD.. Based on a post at the STEAM forums, i.e.

STEAM on Can Subpixel Morphological Anti-Aliasing be whitelisted?

Where it was said wrt SMAA & FXAA injectors..

But read the whole thread (3 pages) and decide for yourself.. If you decided to try out one of the 'many' SMAA & FXAA injectors you may be interested in the following..

JSGME FXAA and SMAA utils

Where I used JSGME to combine the current crop of injectors into one package, which allows you to try out each one separately to see which one you like best

Enjoy

Request: Could someone please post screenshots of the standard Field of Views (FOV)s in Cliffs of Dover?

30deg, 70deg and 90deg?

Thanks in advance!

In cockpit or outside? If in cockpit what plane?

Hi,

It's keroseneA1 aka MACADEMIC writing from another account when switching between Mac and PC...

from the cockpit please, and preferably the Spitfire.

Thanks!

MAC

90 deg.

70 deg.

30 deg.
http://i.imgur.com/qvsOM.jpg

Spit cockpit. 30, 70, 90 degree views.

Edit - lol. I should have known better than to try jumping in there:)

Edit2 - Got my numbers back the front too, was thinking of camera lens fields of view ie. bigger numbers narrower view.

With 3 monitors and TH2G I get a much wider FOV

Thanks Jaws and Les!

Which one do you most often fly with?

I probably spend most time in the widest view, only using the narrower views when I want to read some gauges or look closer at something outside, but mainly because most of the time I'm not in direct combat and need to keep an eye on more of the sky overall.

In combat I still use all the views, but just change them more often, to keep track of what's happening around me. Generally speaking I only zoom in to the narrowest view when aiming and shooting, and even then I try not to, as I don't find the view very realistic and I prefer to just see what I think a real pilot would have seen, even if it is less spectacular than watching things in greater detail.

I also find the narrower, most zoomed in view makes it harder for me to judge distance properly and it can lead me to colliding with other planes or the ground if I'm not careful.

I'm no ace or expert though, and everyone has their own way of doing things, so just play around with the views yourself and see what works best for you.

Edit- BTW, I forgot this was the screenshots thread, it's best to keep the discussions to a minimum on this thread as it's just meant for pictures really.

Roger that Les, thks for the reply and the screens.

I just wish someone would figure out how we could use some of these screenshots in our various menu screens...the originals are ...well...lame.

Superb !

S!

Nice skin :) Those Dorniers were a gift from Hermann Göring, many of the planes been used in Battle Of Britain. All of them scrapped after war due the arms restrictions set by Allies, especially Russkies.

Interesting note that one of the pilots of this plane had a dogfight with 2 x LA-5's when returning from a deep photo recon mission over Russia. ZERO hits on the Heinkel, La's ran out of ammo and the Russian pilot saluted before peeling off to base. After the war this Russian pilot wanted to meet the bomber pilot, but as he was not so keen to be in spotlight politely declined.

Stonehenge. Max Settings.

very nice,but this is getting very annoying now;)

Cheese

S!

*puts a CD in player* AC-DC : Stiff Upper Lip? Rodolphe :D

So are you going to share any of those skins? Or are they for your own personal use?

Very nice screenshots! The models and damage details are simply amazing!

I'm hoping these screenshots will post.

OK, it´s no screenshot, but my first COD movie!!!!! YEAHHH!:cool:

soooooo... cutting grass in the airfield?

cutting edge cinema :???:

With a variable speed prop you can draw patterns in the grass...hours of fun !

Yeah.....great:rolleyes:

Awesome! :D

Amazing, is that skin available for download, and also with the historically correct markings? :)

Nope, he just shows them off. People have asked before, but no reply. I guess all these skins are for his own personal use or he's going to start a website and charge to download them.

Well, lets hope it's one day available for download and universal use. If not, I don't see why to even post them. I do like seeing the lovely skins these artists create, but if you can't use them, its a bit disappointing.
