First of all I wana say the screenies look fantastic!!
The first thing I wana ask about is the clouds that are visible in one of the shots. Are we to expect clouds beeing added to AH2 any time soon or is it just something you are toying around with internally for future use?
While the screenies are fantastic imho its most important to improve the graphics of things you see alot. This makes your decission to improve the plane interiour a very good one. Though what one sees just as much if not more then the cockpit is the terrain and sky. This as one tends to "look through" the cockpit. Are there any near term plans to update the terrain graphics?
Imho especially the tree´s and structure fires need a quite big upgrade imho from the 2D models slapped together to make it look 3Dish to real 3D models.
Next the sky. If you do add clouds this will mean a whole lot to the overall feeling of the sky but still the sky is very dead in appearance. For example the sun effects. Currently it just looks like you guys are increaseing the ambient light when one looks at the sun.
Any plans on making better light effect and flare effects in the cockpit windows?
Further any plans to create new textures for the sky that makes for a more live sky, especially around dusk and dawn?
I know you guys dont really feel comfy about answering questions that include time. But Im still gonna ask. ;)
IF you are gonna improve terrain and/or sky graphics where in the pipeline does that come? After all planes have been "AH2ed" or during that process?
Also a few questions about ToD as that is the biggest reason I signed up for a subscription to AH2.
Are you going to lift all planes to AH2 and do all the graphics work that you have in the pipe before you start working on ToD? What else is there on the todo list before work really picks up on ToD?
Thanks for reading and hoping for answers.
