Does reflection of light by canopy need DX11?

[Codex]

Not sure what you mean, which screen shot are you referring too?

A friend showed me a Spitfire shot with open canopy banking at sunset or dawn ... cannot dig it out right now.

But the effect is perfectly shown in this screenshot as well:

Don't know, how Oleg setup BoB but it should mean that you can see the plane from a much larger distance ... as a small flickering light, not as a dark spot as in il2.

Now we do not know what the Sim will contain or not, but only from the graphics engine, does the effect need DX11, DX10, or DX9?

As for reflection from a metallic plane body, that's in the Stuka vid

Does anybody know?

S!

Rise Of Flight is not DirectX 11 and has reflections etc. Go figure

Nearly every screen shown so far was DX9, so I wouldn't worry. It certainly provides the required featureset. Not sure if far-away objects will still show glinting canopies but it sure would be nice.

What your seeing is HDR & bloom effects, been around since DX9.
