Graphical updates for older planes
« on: July 29, 2007, 11:31:09 AM »
New planes are nice and all, but some planes we already have are REALLY poor-looking. The Mossie and Ta-152, for example, are really sad. Both cockpits are total junk. Some others arent much better, like Yak's, La's, TBM, etc.

For example....


Mmmm...



Meh...



Yech.


Updated damage modeling on the rest of the planes would be nice, too.

They're in the process of doing that right now. ALL of the planes that aren't redone are directly from Aces High I.

That's the purpose of the whole "redoing" thing. Priority goes to aircraft needed for Combat Tour.

As for the 152, I wish they'd redone that with the 190s.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I hope the new Avenger's gunsight glass isn't so dark, as well as the P-38g's. The P-38g is modeled with the sunscreen slid down IMFO.

The only good thing I can say about the AH1 models is that the gauges are easier to read.

They need to redo the Macchis next, and the Mossie. Two of the oldest most dated graphics and flight models in the game! (Lavochkins and F6Fs after that!)

Yes, the 109 cockpit is very nice looking, as well as the Spits and Ponies.
