oh so wet (new water)

[Karnak]

Are you guys aiming to have whitecaps in the final version of the water?

As it is now, i turn off the detailed water and use Bump map to give an easier to see water when fighting over water. 

I sure like the look of the new water if that contrast can be seen from the plane like during a split S to keep it from becoming a splat S.  NOEs would be neat.

seagulls !?

seagulls !?

Nope, it was gonna be a surprise, but actually floating miniature sheep   

Based on this plus all the previews of the upcoming terrain changes, (but mostly based upon the pile of sick    next to my computer after viewing) I shall dub the next version Aces High Dramamine    Excellent work fellas and thanks for sharing.

Guys I think these graphics updates are being demonstrated on a very basic system.  Skuzzy posted that comment in one of the earlier preview threads.

Dont be scared

BUT WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO PLAY ON MY COMMODORE 64? IF NOT IT'S NOT FAIR AND NOBODY SHOULD HAVE ANY UPDATES.

I think the new water system is going to make a big splash.

It sounds like HT is coding graphics differently that will call for less resources.  This update may run better on your machine than the current version does.

That's pretty much the attitude around here.

If the new graphics is leveraging Shader 3.0. All DX9c compliant video cards can run this. If you look around on the internet there are many water demo's showing the abilities of Shader 3.0. I'm hoping what Hitech is doing will reduce the load on our graphics cards.

Down periscope !!!!!

I see why HiTech was getting sick 

Very nicely done.
