since you seem to need some help with this


Dude,

I

don't

care

if you care or not




neither do i specifically seek tree out, i simply treat him in direct proportion to how he behaves at the time i see his "contribution" (which are turds mostly, all he seem to do is "thread crap")). if he makes "normal" post i mostly ignore him, largely because he usually doesnt really contribute anything interesting or topical anyway

if he continues to be so rude and offensive with his constant petulant little snide remarks which are deliberately directed at oleg and the WiP he is sharing here, then i will continue to treat tree-uk accordingly

in case you missed a post from the 1c moderator earlier in this thread

"During discussions about this update, Oleg expressed his disdain of some members expressed attitudes. Oleg made it clear he didn't appreciate the verbal jabs and hinted about ceasing to post."

to which i will add a relevant recent observation posted by a user in another il2 forum where tree-uk sprouts the same constant crap

for the rest of us it (tree's behavior) is extremely damaging and counter productive. i for one not only want to keep getting regular updates, but i also want oleg to stay responsive to feature requests and other content expansion, having little jerks like tree pissing oleg off on purpose is bad for us all (presuming the "us" here is/are genuine il2/BoB fans)

hear hear !!

it isnt a solution for half the people here to simply put tree on ignore and pretend what he is doing suddenly disappears from the universe. worse, by inaction and passive tollerance of it you are complicit to the problems he creates, which in the end will affect us all (and is affecting us already as you can well see).

having oleg's direct interaction with his fanbase (and him being responsive to it, having incorporated many of the previous good suggestions made), is a PRIVILEGE, and not a "right" to be petulantly abused by a few who are CONSTANTLY and DELIBERATELY disruptive and offensive to him (for years now in tree's case)

[zapatista]

turbulence is over, please stay tuned and do not adjust you set !

we shall now resume normal broadcasting in a moment

thank you for flying 1C and showing interest in oleg's upcoming creation and new masterpiece

Zapatista, please read your PM.

Thanks for the screen shots devs.
Thanks for demonstrating why no one in the industry does this. Because you get the dredges of geeky internet society feeling they are important and they matter and that they are owed something.
Its amazing, but pathetic.

[reflected]

Oleg,
thanks for the pics! They look amazing! Somehow the landscape colors seem to be a lot more realistic. Is it just me or you guys tweaked them a bit? Anyway, great job, good luck hunting bugs, I really can't wait to finlly jump into a SoW Spitfire!

[Chivas]

I agree reflected....the colors do look better. Thats the first thing I noticed when I zoomed in on the terrain of the Isle of Wight, in the latest screenshots. I have my concerns, but trust, most of the these concerns will be addressed either before or after release in future addons.

I hope everyone noticed the beautiful backlit clouds in the wellington shot. Impressive stuff.

[mr71mb0]

Thanks for the Video and Screens. They look fantastic, amazing levels of detail.

Indeed, it'd be great to see the type of sun reflection on the clouds, as that is something that I've noticed is really strong when flying over clouds. We have yet to see this shown clearly in SoW due to the angle of the shots taken (quote)


as a rule clouds base are flat but how do you know that they are not flat in the sim? you complained but have nothing to show us as proof of what you see? i have not seen a pic that lets you see the base i think oleg knows about clouds

Actually, I do. Check out every update. Look here: http://fooblog.mexxoft.com/category/...s/2010/page/2/

It's really clear. The cloud-base is really profund on cumulus clouds, I posted a scientific review that showed how big a feature the flat-bottoms are, and currently they are missing from SoW. I am not complaining; I'm just asking SoW if this is currently being worked on, as the particle system for the clouds in SoW look amazing; the shape just looks a bit 'off' currently. I'd be interested in what pictures you have seen. I'm not being rude, but it doesn't seem like you've seen much.

The lighting in this sim looks amazing. If they can capture the reflection that one can see off the top of the 'cauliflower' tops of clouds, I'd be dead-impressed. Remember this It gave me goosebumps



Also, I will add that the only thing i hate more than reading posts from people than either ask for more-updates or slam other users for posting their feelings (unless the poster has been abusive) are messages that are aimed at forum members and try and stir of 'shit'. There's no other word for it; shit-stirrers ruin forums like this. So what if someone said something at another forum? Don't bring the crap from one forum here and vice-versa. Have a nice week all.

Forgot about foobars site. I was looking in the other forum for all the older screens.
