small suggestions on graphics..

[Kweassa]

Personally, I would like to rquest that some of the moving parts on the plane models be visible.. one such instance is the leading edge slats on the 109s and Las.. it's a small thing, but it really has some impact on immersion.. It almost feels like EAW, where the planes aren't modelled with any visual aileron/elevator movement..

 ...

 Also, it would be really cool to see better looking tracers.. the smoling trail in IL-2 seems a bit too dark and too thick, but the same trails seem too thin and clean in AH... it feels almost like a grey laser beam.. I wonder if there is any chance of seeing them used with the cool particle system..

I'd like to see the tailhooks drop and retract on carrier birds.

I'd second the tail hooks. Also, a fun feature would be a key command to fold wings on the appropriate birds. Would be exciting to get a wing of F4Us sitting on the CV waiting for an attack raid, or something...

Note: Dont mind the fact all the Corsairs are sunk into the deck. It is a bug in the game featured...

combat flight simulator 2?

I would like to see Vapor trails on its wingtips from b-17 or other bombers when they reach 275 to 300 mph

and i would like to see a new menu system to replace the clipboard which is very hard to see.

Ya, CFS2...you play it?

If so, got some great files for ya....apparently the ship dps were several times the dimensions of the ships, and waaaayyy too weak. I have modified .dps...People have gotten the bomb bay doors open, too!

S!

nah, i've got cf3, which IMO sucks with all the gfx bugs

[poopster]

The main thing that is going to be possible with the new system is plane skins like this..


Planes skins and a sun with the intensity of IL-2. Our terrain kicks butt now, who knows what they'll be able to do with the new engine..

Sun flare would be a GREAT addition. Vapor trails elsewhere have an FPS problem. Be a great thing to have "if" it could be done without hitting framerates.

Gonna be fun. And no doubt pretty.

but like il2 i'd like to see the props bend when u do belly landings and such.

[Arlo]

Whoo ... sprinting pile-it! (hehe)

Hmmm, nice pic Arlo.   Were there any F4U-1s with carrier landing hooks?   I thought the Marines removed them since the type was just operating from land  bases.

Another small graphics change I'd like to see is the smoke column generated by burning field targets.   Its too short and fat.  Every column of smoke I've seen is taller and skinnier, and when you approach a destroyed base, the smoke palls should clearly be visible as the base comes into view.  Right now you get to see the whole base but only when you get closer does the generated smoke become visible.

[Arlo]

Oh, hell yeah.

VF-17 fully qualified in them in 1943.

Chubbs pic reminds me..

 better looking flames would be cool

 also.. maybe better hit sprites!

Id like to add:

Dust kicked up from movement on ground.
Oil hits actually spray out over the screen.
Bullet holes in canopy and instruments(with resulting loss of those instruments).
a 3d modeled pilot??
