Eye Candy!!!

Nice.  :aok

Country roads/paths, beaches to be stormed, hedgerows!!!  (Mr. Burns: Ex-cell-ent-!!!)  I feel bad for players that can't run up their graphics in games like this.  It does help with immersion into the game.

Sketch brought up two interesting points about low branches and interaction with the hedgerows..... eye candy is one thing.... random hidden flipping tank mines quite another.

Nice addition to the haystacks, farms, churches, and small communities dotting the arena maps.

Any effort to make the bases in the war arenas resemble some of the ones we see in the SEA arenas?


Any news on where work on updating plane models/graphics stands?  I don't remember tow cables on the tanks before, so guess at least some work has been done along these lines?

Any possibility of additions to plane/gv set on the horizon?

that can already be changed, it's a server setting. they just use the default settings, which are quite vibrant :)

Kudos on the shadows, much better looking! I believe this will be for all MA maps instead of just CT. The objects and eye candy will replace the current trees/farms etc.


BEACHES!!!


Also I have an idea I will post in the wishlist forum about destroying trees/clutter.

Finally... a sandy beach.
Awesome looking terrains, can't wait to fly/drive and die on them.

This will be in the next version release, it's not just for CT.  Our intent is to keep performance about the same.

vibrant is an understatement ! :lol

Still a couple more sky textures wouldn't go a miss, I mean HiTech and the team have already done the ground, it would be silly not to do the sky.

How about correcting the sun so sunrise/sunset doesn't occur at eye-level regardless of altitude. It's sort of silly watching the sun "rise" from over the horizon at 15,000ft altitude.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

With sliders maxed to left, trees "twinkle" in the main arena.

I see no twinkling trees in the screen shots.

My guess is they don't show up on static images.
