Don't worry, Funked, you have to actually have a life before it can end!

But I agree. But for me the three games are Civ III, Silent Hunter II and IL-2.

Question to anyone who's been in the beta test or following Il-2 closely:

There's 2 (that I've noticed) graphic anomalies when running Il-2 in OpenGL using a Voodoo5 5500...(D3D-- wow it's just a mess visually) The two visual anomalies are 1)Glare on aircraft- it appears more as a sketch pattern than a solid glare pattern. As in it looks like someone is placing white sketch lines on the aircraft when glare occurs on the skin of an aircraft or inside the cockpit.
And 2) On the water textures, there's an area where it's rendered perfectly fine... then surrounding that area is a large grey area with no textures. Some of the rendered area crosses over onto the grey area and creates a very strange looking texture.

Does anyone know if that has been fixed? In other words, have the V5 graphic problems been fixed for the final release? I'm using the Demo as a point of reference.
Thanks!

From what I've heard, the game will be unrecognizable from the demo in terms of refinement and hardware compatibility, as well as in graphics, physics... you get the idea. I believe the demo is a version from last spring.

Yeah, I understood the demo as being very old. I hadn't heard anything definitive from Maddox about the V5 issues being worked out.

<crosses fingers>

Sure hope so, looking forward to this game!

Thanks for the reply!

damn, I might have to buy that GeForce3 sooner than I thought.

Hummmmmmm does that G-2 still roll like a 190 on hormones?

I know a friend who is going to purchase it. Will give the game a try at his home and if I find its worth it, I'll buy Il-2

P.S. If Il-2 is as good as they claim it to be, then for me the triade will be SH2, Il-2....and SUB COMMAND!

Sub command rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There has definetly been a change to the pilots strenght, which now makes the 109 roll slower with more speed.

A quick comparison between the demo and the beta 4 I have gave me following aprox.:

Speed(kph) Demo Beta 4
300 2.5 sec 2.8 sec
400 3.0 sec 3.8 sec
500 3.5 sec 5.2 sec
600 3.8 sec 6.5 sec

SWulfe, I don't know whats the status on the Voodoo's are, sorry. I have a GF2.

Ohh and I don't know how it compare to the 190. They are first included in the latest beta which is only released for the press.

I`d get rid of that Voodoo card.
It might be a nice card,but as we all know the only reason NV bought 3dfx out ,is to make sure there`s no future support for them,so all voodoo owners gonna have to buy a new card sooner than later.

I just built a system of spare parts for someone.Was gonna use a voodoo3 card,but after finding out what a pain is to get OpenGL and Glide to work in win xp,i decided to use a diamond card.At least that company is still in business.
