What's with the jets? It's like seeing pics of Hasselhof in the swimsuit issue.

Why don't you post some propper shots to bring it back on topic? :rolleyes:

Are you from fasion police?:rolleyes:

Well, THIS are clouds. Hope Clod will make clouds like that too some day:)

Winger

Are REX clouds 2D pictures of real clouds like stock FSX Clouds?

Stock FSX clouds are actually 3D, it's REX that's 2D pictures of real clouds shot with high quality photographic film.

Gorgeous.:grin:

those r beautiful! where did u get the plane add-on from? Is it a paid or freeware add-on?

That's a paid addon by Alphasim. I think they went under. You may still be able to find it somewhere.

Beautiful plane

I like that style of imagery, looks to me like an illustration from an old book.

Nice lancerr!

How the mothers bacon do you get the AA to look so good. I've got mine forced through my GTX580 at 32x with a reso of 1920x1080 and still can't get such crisp edges!

AA is porked in CoD. Doesn't work above 2x or 4x and you can't force it to work on the card. That is why you have jaggies with 32x. These photos have been altered (post processed). If only CoD looked like these photos. It would be glorious.

I wish COD had such sharp edges
 

But here's why they look so good.

1. I'm using FSAA with the modified DLL's that someone posted above. Definitely an improvement over in-game

2. These pictures are downscaled from 1920x1280, the resolution I play to 1024x800.

And of course a number of color corrections applied to them.

A little more, and i thought that was a photo (oo)

Ali- those are just super. Wow, the terrain really is showing up a lot better after the patch. Guess you were right after all - that it was more of a lighting/shading issue than texture issue. Have you noticed any changes to the terrain textures at all? I still haven't had time to play with the new patch, but I am truly liking what I see from these screens.

ive not had a dump today ! (hehehehe)

but really ill eat my hat if those textures have changed. im liking what they have done to invoke these new additions.and i think i got my head around how theyve done it too(see end of post) !, but they need tweaked severely. between the blinding sun and the haze (which i think is dynamic BTW !) there is to much of it. and its resolution needs broadened where the effect is concerned.

by dynamic i mean it does dissipate a little the close to the ground you get. need to play and witness more to get to grips with it.

alas its time for a dump \o/


EDIT : after a long dump :) no change to textures that i can see, and thanks for the understanding about my comments and conceptual understanding.

and !not sure but i found this stuff in there. might have been there before but theres alot of it (cg files)

The really patchy look of the terrain seems to have much decreased, I guess owing to the increased diffuse scattering of haze. Atmospheric perspective seems to be nicer too, and flying at altitude looks very convincing. Tonight I will definitely take a scenic tour with the new patch.

Very excite. :)

It still doesn't look like England, but it looks really good.

excellent shots

ive been playing with contrast on my system and it does make the grey haze look better, i feel whoever tuned it has got lower than average settings for contrast.

[QUOTE=Jaws2002;333025]Few I got tonight.:)


Is it just me or do your clouds look much better as normal as well?
Terrain really looks good now.
With the new transparent shorelines, do waterlandings look better as well? from inside the cockpit/

Maybe you mean he got higher than average settings for contrast, and that lead him to make haze appear ever darker on a normal contrast setting display..

indeed i ment mine is generally lower than his by perception.

also lol ive angled my lcd monitor more upwards, and it looks better. so yeah theres possibly a contrast issue. i dont declare mine is correct but iam a graphic artist at heart so my sentiments surely mean somthing. and i like to look on the monitor directly with no angles. tilting the thing makes it darker and more contrasty.

the wonderfull thing about these HD lighting effects is that im pretty sure its all procedural in essence. but the config files are too complicated for me presently.

[QUOTE=kedrednael;333261]I got those clouds experimenting with the "local weather" tab in the full mission builder. That whole menu is still not working right, but you can play and experiment with it. Some clouds look beter now, but for some reason it won't render them at longer range anymore, no matter how wide weather area create.:(

Spit2 CW anyone? :cool:

[IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...Untitled-1.jpg[/IMG]

lol
nice cutting job!!!!

Which do you prefer? One on the left looks more like a photo, but the new sea color (r) is better. This is 13K ft over the channel.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6.../13k-hurri.jpg

Left one defo.

appart from the water who looks low quality, the right one.

The left one for sure, it's more realistic and the sea in the right maybe it's too opaque with much less "depth", I don't live in England but I believe that the English channel color couldn't be more light than Mediterranean (waiting for English guys on this).

Lol..dude believe it or not I havent messed around with this Pic..

I was flying a practice/testing mission in FMB when i looked at my AC externaly and this is what I found!

I had a couple of close shaves in combat so im guessing I somehow clipped both wings and ended up with this :cool:

some beautiful shots around this thread, but anyone do some night bombing pics moonlit night , he111s etc , also more explosion pics plz ..

can we make the thread a stickie plz.

With the new beta patch colors and lighting at night are way way worst than those in the last "final" version

It's a bit over saturated but still an unexpected results for an auto color adjustment.

Hi guys,

Sorry to ask this Q but.

Were the hell is the screens shots held ?

I have looked in all the places as well as steam nothing.

Gone to mydoc's/IL2soft whatever/ screen shots/.......nothing!

What key is it to take a screenshot?

I used to have it sorted but have lost the touch.its been a while since i have flown COD but since new Beta patch getting back into it.:)

Cheers
O_Smiladon

Windows is overlaying the <Print Screen> key, that´s why that the game don´t take screenshots.

Just go to in game options and remap the screenshot key to another key, to f12 for example, and the game will take screenshots again and locate them in your \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\screenshots folder.

Great Thanks mate,

Regards
O_Smiladon

Excellent Photos all .. here's my contrib ..Pub Park .. all good Defiant pilots know where to park their rigs .. right in the front door of the Pub! :grin:

Pity we cannot save tracks like in IL2-1946 where you could run them back in slow-motion, swap aircraft, swap views etc

.

What a fantastic detailed mesh - soo realistic! (rear wheel shot off too)

Playing one of the quick missions, flying Blenheims to bomb a airfield (where's the bombs?), I usually get intercepted by 110s on the home journey .. and that's it! All over red rover! .. Firing the Vickers shoots all over the place & i usually get killed fairly quickly .. :(

Just goes to prove the 110 was a stable firing platform and a heavy hitter, while the turreted vickers was basically useless.



.

all that text is nothing but clutter onscreen , spoils screenshots imo
good that you can disable all that though.

Hit Escape while flying, select Start Recording, give the track you're about to record a name, click Save, then click Fly to return to mission. Your track is now being recorded. To stop the recording either exit the mission altogether, or just hit Escape again and select Stop Recording.

To play the track you've just recorded, go to the main menu and select Extras/Tracks/Select, choose the track you want to play, click Open, then Play...

When it goes wrong, it really goes wrong

Got to love the comment in the chat box!

ha, nice find. to be far i dont know how to proprly use the chat yet. wish is a problem.

anyone knows how ot attach my images to the forum like everyone else?

Open up the image on Imageshack and see if you can find the 'Embed this image' drop-down menu amongst several other options on the right hand side of the screen. From that 'Embed this image' drop-down menu, copy the text in the box named 'Forum', then just paste that text straight into your post on the forums here. Click Preview Post to see if the image is showing. If the posted image has 'Uploaded with ImageShack.us' written after it, just delete the 'Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us/URL]' part of the text you copied. There may be other ways of embedding images, but that's what works for me anyway.

Nice skin in that pic Chris.

Quick question, how do you guys make those nice screenshots without having all the 'garbage' on your screen like the chatbox and control indicators? Do you crop it out or is there something else?

You have to Alt-click the box you want to get rid of, then it will turn a more opaque grey. I think then you right click the box to bring up a little menu and you select 'delete info window' or something like that.
(Obviously you would have to do this before you took the screenshot...)

other possibility, record a track, select to hide the interface and snap away ;)

The problem is that it's a pain to remake them after deleting them :(

Just few shots I took last night in ATAG.

Crossing the chanel with a pair of 500Kg bombs and Bliss riding shotgun. It looked so peaceful and pretty. :-P

'610 Squadron on patrol over France'-Skin courtesy of 'checkmysix'

The best way to make screenshots, and movies, is recording tracks.

Tracks are not video files, they are data files that contain our mission configuration and action´s tracking data.

With which missions can be played using the game plays as theater.

Playing tracks you can pause, go forward, go backward, slow-motion, change the camera, the field of view and position of them, switch planes ... and hide windows and icons.

To make a track file just click record in the mission options and make a record track file, "replay.trk" for example, to use has default replay´s vault.

Then if the mission was worth to replay go to "Main menu / Extras / Play tracks" to play the last mission´s replay file.

Once is loaded there will be options of "Change views", "Hide message windows" and "Hide icons", just tick them and click start (if the screen is showing blue artifacts press F1, its a bug).

Using this way you dont have to deal with changes in info windows configurations, saving your current one, and you have no limits to make beautiful screenshots.
