Great, I'm finally ahead of the curve.

Bring it on

Cheers, Neil

Lol I didnt see his account age, just that he only had one post.

I wonder if CoD will model Swells as well as seas? It will be important when we're ditching.

Thanks for the System Specs, I should be abler to run the sim at the moment so all upgrades are off for me until I get a chance to play with the sim!

Cheers!

Nothing like that - those effects are direct compute and DX11 only...

Realistic water would be a long term goal and more at home with a Naval simultaion than a flight sim. I doubt any one of us has a super computer that would be capible of doing a realistic surface model of the channel.

That video was just eye candy! It was of a very limited area and I doubt it took into account the physics of the wind interacting with the water surface. In short although nice looking I doubt we'd get any useful info from that technique. Being able to guage the wid speed and direction from the wind chop would be fantastic , though beyond the scope of any consumer sim in the near future.

Cheers!

Silent Hunter had very nice 3D water (even without DX11, go figure ) but still not to that degree that you could derive wind conditions from the appearance. And of course it didn't look too great once the camera moved to higher altitudes.

If you just try to use a tiny tiny bit of sense and then you read this comment from Illya:

"The game is indeed extremely scalable. For the past six months all we've been doing is scaling it back. Basically we had built a 2013 game and had to pull it back into the present. Growth in the next couple of years will be very easy. We'll just flick a bunch of switches back on."

Please don´t keep on crying about the lack of DX11 on initial release and the short life span. I don´t want to bash your head, just trying to make you feel better and look forward to this amazing title, thats all.

Nonsense. You can achieve the same with shaders and enough poly's. Its just a less efficient way to achieve the effect.

I have the minimum specs... in everything including bandwidth up stream 128kps.
But thanks anyway for the spec release, at least i now know to start planning.

It's good to be optimistic and i've played IL2 since day one but i am abit skeptical when it comes to this title. There has to be a reason that we haven't seen screenshots or videos in highres using maximum settings from the newer builds. It sure makes me wonder why. Time will tell how amazing this title will be but i'll call a shovel for a shovel untill i actually know that i have the most amazing shovel in the world in my hands... or the worst one
