Graphics engine from original IL2 utilised in CloD. So what hope for BoM?

[BadAim]

I can't be bothered to read the entire thread, so I don't know if this has been said yet, but I just want to comment that you, Puma are doing nothing but trolling.

I have come to expect better from you, but I guess that is my own failing.

Hey no hard feelings. It's not an intentional troll!

Currently as we now wait for the next installment, it's been obvious to see where the issues still lie in the Graphics department. To be honest I am mostly flying over the Sea as I find the ground pop-up textures too annoying. But over the sea (and when the particles of smoke aren't too huge, the sim is really enjoyable.

Regarding the legacy I refer to...here's a short clip to show how nothing has changed since the 'old' 1946 days:

Does that clip show the matching code? If not it is useless.

No you are right David...there is nothing similar there is there? Blimey!

If it walks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck..then it must be an Ostrich, eh David?

Yes but this is a video game and most video games have this area of vision, hopefully they can improve it.

Suggest you learn what you talk about before slagging it off...

il2:1946 and CoD have the same engine LOL what a tool!

If we post videos of other games showing the same can we kick off an Apple vs Samsung-esque patent war over who has copied who?

As we are now going down the route of personal insults, lets call it a day. Mods, please delete the thread, let bygones be bygones and everyone be happy again?

I'll not mention that other sims can blend distant objects almost invisibly as they render then into the draw bubble, it just seemed that IL2 was built on the legacy of the previous build.

Sad times when personal abuse is made over such an obvious Graphic 'issue'.

Please delete the thread. MP

God only knows what they will use, lets just hope it performs better out of the box, however, I seriously think they are going the MMO route, which will bring a whole host of new issues. I think BOM is a long time and a few graphic card generations away.

Other games have "fog of war" covering the transition (Arma2, War Thunder:WoP, etc.). Not possible to see horizon there.

Can you tell the difference between a GIF and BMP digital image?

In short, if you don't have the code, you've got nothing.

As an aside, you're making a fool of yourself.
