New cities look fantastic

All the updated terrains are on the terrains download page, if you want to grab them from there.

Very nice.
Coming up on the city for the first time..




Flying in close...












The streets are wide enough to land in. You get a ditch though.

can the flak towers be destroyed? I  tried twice offline with a two and four salvo drop but got no message. also seems the city buildings are hard to destroy, only got one building twice with formation and single 1,000 lber.


note: this was friendly city with object protect off.

Streets and Avenues

Always nice to have something new though, and the actual bombable (industrial) area looks quite good

Bombers are popular again! WTG HTC!

Question,
kotrenin's post shows his computer as the buildings disappearing a little ways out...is this due to having terrain detailing off? If my computer is set to full bore (like I am hoping it will be this weekend) will the buildings not disappear so close?

Is based on your object detail slider.

Yeah,  I don't think my Vid card can handle every thing turned all the way up.  Especially shadows.

Fantatstic work. Its like Ive said, the game is getting better and better.

It breathes new life into the bomber war. Which is a good thing.

Ah alright, makes sense, didn't think about that.

Same here, the old card in my old system (ATI X1650) would allow everything up to Shadows, but I normally played with just bump mapping. My new card (HD5770) should fly with this game.

Where the airport ?

Even mine's not cranked, I think it's about 2/3-3/4 of the way up.

I was thinking it would be nice for the GVer's if there were spawns in or very near the city.  And... maybe some Manned Ack in some of the towers.
