2010-04-02 SOW Video "Bomber Attack"
#28

Looks ok but nothing in this video is exceptional or even warrants uploading to you tube IMHO, it doesn't really show anything exceptional or ground breaking...the clouds look like balls of cotton wool...no better than Il-2 modded clouds (worse in fact!)..yes the 3d models of the aircraft look a lot better and have more polygons etc as we all already know..the lighting is ok but nothing that amazing..standard self-shadowing which is on most sims these days is nice...the tracers look obvious WIP almost like plasma ion cannons!..the sea looks ok but again not much to see excuse the pun...

So overall its just an obvious early to mid season WIP with use of obvious dumbed down textures for clouds/terrain etc..

So just what is it trying to show?...ehmm...apart from better 3d models nothing really stands out as WOW! in this video.....maybe its the limited low resolution vid or strange angles chosen or fuzzy graphics...its clear we can see the new graphic engine at work and thats nice but its so early days and il-2 looking its kinda pointless uploading these sort of videos! ..... they dont really impress or achieve anything IMO.....No doubt when all the fine tuning and textures are refined/added etc this will look amazing...

to the untrained eye it looks that its simply using an updated il-2 engine code and not a new engine lol....still when its finished this new engine will am sure def blow old mr. il-2 away thats for sure....overall i like the vid but am not overly impressed by it or understand the purpose of uploading such obvious early stage alpha/beta production shots of the new engine....
