Time for some screenshots from that OTHER sim....

[LLv34_Snefens]

No not that one....I am talking about IL-2 Sturmovik.

     

Fluffy as in AH but casting shadows too. The trained eye will notice the 3D forest too (changing perspective. There are other shots where it is more noticable)

More of the new shots can be found at http://209.198.154.16/il2-e/products/screenshots.asp?id=

GIMME! GIMME DAMMIT I WANT  NOW DADDY I WANT AN OOMPALOOMPA DADDY!!!  oh  Im sorry...I mean...nice screenshots.......I better lie down....and change pants...

My god - that's the best erhm... 'environment' I have seen in any sim. What a difference those shadows make - I never woulda guessed it. And finally a 3-D ground terrain.... makes ditching an issue. Jaw dropping screenshot that one.

 The one I saw of the plane exploding (at dogfighter.com) was amazing. Flaming parts shooting off in various direction. I've never bought a boxed sim. But this might be my first.

 Maybe I am a eyecandy guy after all

[Staga]

Best part is its gonna have mp.

Maybe Hasbro rushed B-17 II out because they knew they better get some money out of it before Il-2 comes to markets

hey snef,

i've been following IL2 also...can't wait till it comes out!! i'm curious as to how it will compare with our AH ?  

[Suave1]

Damn I haven't had my new computer for even a year yet and allready these games are making it obsolete  

[airspro]

TY LLv34_ for the link . There's been talk about this coming sim on our forum too . I took the time to check out the screen shots and am impressed to say the least .

At least this seems to be for real , never planed on buying B17 2 , or at least till the second patch .

Anyway , thanks again for the updated info .

cheers spro

I'm still waiting for that sim where you can fly at treetop level.. then dip between trees if need be.

The cloud effects are great.. but I'd have to see the trees up close to get excited.  It seems they are just another well painted skin from this perspective.

minimum specs of a P3-600 128mb RAM, and a 32mb video card, reports of running well on a 1Ghz or faster machine. Time to start rolling up them pennies  

[LLv34_Snefens]

Min spec is PII 300, 64 MB RAM and a 3D Accelerator. The 600 one is the recommended.
Oleg have posted some screenshots of lowest detail level and that still looked very good.

As for the trees Hornit, who is so lucky having a pre-evaluation version of the game, showed some closer looks of the trees. His build-version is several months old (he doesn't have the new clouds for instance), but they still look great. This pic he took while in Mission-edit mode I think, hence the numbers and the weird "flag".

   

Notice how you on the front trees can see between them and the ground below, but further out the ground disappear.
He assures that during flight they look even better, and gives no slowing of graphics.

Don't fly too fast....  

 

[Sancho]

OMG!  That looks *butterING AWESOME*!!!  This game is going to be the new standard for flight sim graphics.

Doubt there will be a jug though...

WOW!

I hope those levers and buttons are clickable.

Makes me glad I've joined Leonid's Il-2 VVS squad.   Multiplayer will rock.
