Friday 2010-08-27 Dev. update and Discussions

This is looking so good; the crew look real! Question; will the effects for tracers be 3D or 2D (currently they are 2D in Il-2). I'd love to see how the tracers smoke trails could look and react in game.
Regarding fire; does it spread? This is too much to ask, I know, but I just wanted to know. I think I read somewhere that fire could spread and so I am curious if it starts out small and grows in size (as the fire in those shots looks lethal)

Awesome pics.

The Reargunner in picture #4 seems to be shocked because he's still standing and imaginary holding the gun though it was blown away.



Picture # 3: Why do these parents let their little child fly a hurricane?

Great pics!
Pics #3 & #4 make me wonder- just how did the crew of a Ju88 bail out?????

Nice update.
The sea loooks great today. Nice highlights.

The plane shine seems to have been perfected, it has looked very good in the past few updates.

I would prefer the Hurricane pilot to be immobile rather than placed too low in the cockpit. It is very noticeable.

Thanks for the update, it is always very welcome!

Hi,Luthier thanks for the update.
I´m curious about the way aircrew exit the damaged planes.
Did they actually "work" their way out of the plane or they do more like Il2 scaping thru the fuselage?

I'd love to know this too but also will smoke in general be 3d and react when flown through?

Now that would be an awesome feature, Do you remember, in apocalypse now,
when those hueys attack the village near the beach, there's a shot rearwards from inside the heli showing the smoke swirling due to the vortex from the spinning rotorblades...

Interesting point here!

I still think this was an interesting question on page 15 in reaction on that tracersmoke
