TO OLEG:
Did your team use different PCs wehen they captured the scenes for the videos??
Because the last scenes looked very different than the first ones o.O

[Zorin]

So was the self shadowing turned off because the game engine is limited or because the machine of the guy who made the video reached its limits?

[ATAG_Doc]

Thank you for the update. It's a masterpiece.

Wonderfull stuff - I hope Oleg is right about the 25th - UbiShop is saying 31st , but my order for collecters edition still shows despatch after 21st March realease date - www -confused.com lol

Oh, Oleg, when I saw barrage balloons, the cure for fire awaken inside of me
Could we please see explosion of it? Pic'd be enough

[PilotError]

WOW !!!!!!!

I can't wait for my Collectors Edition to arrive so I can try all that for myself.

Now that it seems to have gone gold, is there any confirmation of what the flyables and AI list is yet ?

Thanks Oleg (and your team) for creating what I've dreamed about since "flying" my first simulator on an old ZX Spectrum.

Great to see new child in action!
Repetition of wather surface is only minus, will be nice to make some kaos in code to avoid it...it destroy feelling of reallity. (I understand, it will be done whan our pc will become stronger...)

This is from the maker of the video:

Forum members:

The video was made in basically 1 week after access was granted to the game, same basic gameplay as IL-2 and easy to learn and use.

Shadows were turned down.

Kindly note that the game made available to me was still a BETA version and it would be undesirable for me to comment on any technical or gameplay matters

The only comment I am prepared to make is that this game will totally surprise everyone.

Have faith !

Salute !

Majority of the peeps here are happy with what they see you old grumpy maid. Your shtick is getting tired man, you've made your point a thousand times. You're not happy with anything and everything in this sim you haven't played.

Don't worry, Oleg won't take it personally that your standards haven't been met, life outside your little world continues on...happy as ever.

I hope for your sake in RL you're a more positive and open minded person and not just a lump of turd on an otherwise optimistic thread.

As for the vids, nice to see a long edit with a huge variety of planes. The bomb falls blew me away, thought I was watching a 3D animated cinematic with fall detail. The ship wakes and smoke plums also look great.

I'm done looking at this sim, I'm ready to experience it.

TALLY HO!
