Title: Please post screenies of cool new effects.
Post by: Stang on January 28, 2005, 08:32:54 PM

Even though I can log in again, the cpu I have is so low grade I can't see anything really.  I'd appreciate it if some of you guys posted pics of all the cool new stuff, and some shots of the inevitable p38 flights that will be taking place tonight.

Thanks

:D

A few from tonite.

First is the oil streaks on my left engine after taking hits, and just before it failed.


Second is the flames coming from my right wing as I bellied in with a pilot wound and dead left engine.

third is a view of a P38G from the cockpit of a J

Once upon a time I was so hooked on this game that I almost got a divorce.

..and it just keeps on getting better.

FYI I chose my wife anyway. I'm not THAT nerdy. :D

Stang, in my opinion this has been one of the most significant updates to the game.  The steering wheel moving and improved cockpit graphics really add to the immersion level.  The smoke belching from starting engines and dust kicking up when you roll do the same.  All at little or not cost in frame rate :).

Cya Up!

One of the things that realy made me look twice was the flameing aircraft.The fire and the long deep black smoke trail looks outstanding.Of course it looks a lot better when its someone else though I was also impresed with the clouds and sky and the way it all meshes together with the sun.Realy looks good.The hit effect seems to have changed as well.Ya see smaller parts comin off now instead of pre cut large pieces of wing or what have ya.

a bit, in a way.
its a big improvement on what we had.
fire must be a very complex thing to model and look realistic,its so random.

Fire is THE most difficult thing to animate. I agree that the fire effect looks a little overdone, but they'll probably rework it. Fire is hard to do ;)


I'll be d/l'ing AH2 to hunt you dweebs down in my 109 ;)

I actually love it nothing i would change!

people are never happy with what they get. always change this, change that. I mean they just did a MAJOR patch. I think they should get a vacation.
