Post by: phaetn on June 15, 2000, 08:35:00 AM
A few more screenshots have been released by HTC!

View them [here] (http://www.dogfighter.com/briefs/show.php3?brief=961075843).

There are going to be so many changes in this upcoming release that I think they should just skip a point and go right to v1.04.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Cheers,

I can hear it now...

Audi FL:"Any tanks or half-tracks at the field?"

Volks FL:" Not that I can see, pretty smokey down there!, wow, a huge secondary explosion, wonder if that was the fuel depot?"

Audi FL:"Rgr, okay, Mercedes, GO GO GO!"

Mercedes: "Rgr, C47 IB, 30 seconds..."

30 seconds later....

Mercedes: "Ahhhhhh!  M16 by the smoking hangar, got me, I'm going down!"

 That flak is what I always hoped to see modelled when being shot at! WTG!!

The latest version will include
  numerous graphics changes, including new lighting effects and improved cockpit art for some planes...

Is the La5fn getting revamped cockpit art?

Notice the wind setting in the radio buffer. Groovy!

Wow.....

I had not seen those before.

Incredible.....if this is the kind of upgrade HTC delivers through a minor revision from v1.02 to v1.03, can you imagine what a major rev like v2.0 may offer.

<Salute> to all at HTC.....

Badger

Badg, I can imagine what a smoking hulk of a destroyer off the shoreline is going to look like in V1.04 (Navy verison) !!!


I'm so friggin' jazzed up for this version, I nearly wet my pants everytime I see a screen shot! <Rip runs down to the bathroom for the 3rd time!>

Wind setting?  Where do I pick up one of those 'Detonate' Commands  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I just am amazed by the way these new screenshots look.  I for one will update without so much as a peep if I have to.  Where is that credit card  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Nice looking screens......Why is every single screenshot taken at dusk, though?   The overwhelming orange tint in every shot wouldn't seem to me to be the best way to advertize the product...

IMO.  AH is advancing too fast!  I know HTC is trying to increase their coustomer numbers, but this next drop is too much.  It should of been spread out more.

I would like to see other area of the sim fixed first, but I don't play the numbers game, and HTC has to for they are running a business.

Regardless on how I feel about the updates, HTC does a fantastic job.  I just hope they have many other things up their sleeve to keep people intrested who absolutely "need an update" for many years to come.

Preparing to get my butt kicked in a prettier sky.

Swager.

Have a Nice Day!

Wow... the smoke and flak look fantastic. Great work HTC.

Does anyone know the ammount of time between sunrise and sunset? Every 4 hours? 8? 12?

OK, here goes my attempt at being nit picky:

The smoke isn't casting a shadow.  Whenever I've been under heavy smoke in reality, or seen aerial footage of heavy smoke, there is always a distint shadow.  The shadow should be modeled here.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

That smoke is incredible, just amazing   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Flak is beautiful too   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

With a sunset as pretty as that, I also would take the screenshots at dusk   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
