surf and turf along the beach in 1.05
« on: September 19, 2000, 05:52:00 PM »
 CFS2 screens seem to do a pretty good job
 on the shoreline and coastal waters


with the player controlled carrier groups it
 could be quite beneficial to also include a
 similar solution to shallow water the way M$
 has using that beautiful blue green close
 to the shore.

also the rolling curving shoreline is quite
 immersive and interesting.

just wondering if HTC will be able to do
 somthing similar

Why does the flame burn forward on a diving plane?

It doesn't look so nice nearer to the ground (in the screenshots I've seen). IMHO, IL-2 does both water and coastal terrain better

I gotta say, I like the graphics in MSCFS better than ANY other sim I've seen (with the possible exception of WWIIOL pre-release clips).

The FM may suck, and the flame might be going the wrong way (Bill doesn't care about details when he rules the world), but look-n-feel wise, they've got it going ON!!! Especially the cockpits!!!!! It's more matte than glossy, more gritty than pristine....I LIKE it.

Camo I remember Jerry saying after his visit at ECTS, that the waves was breaking in over the shore and it looked awesome. I think the pic is from before that feature was added. (not sure as it's not a film  )

Yep this is a rather old pic.  Can't wait to see the new screenshots Oleg promised!
