Very nice...and big oooopeeen spaces ..

Are those little squares of water on the map suposed to be there. Every mile or so I see a little square of water on this map.

I love this map too, especially the western part. Some great valleys and swamps. With Canon's new default Russian skins plus these new maps this game is frikkin' gorgeous!

definitely gorgeous . What little squares Hackl?

I've got squares and rectangles also. They are dark gray and repeat with the base textures. I'm curious now because I don't see them in any of the above screenshots.

screenies?

If I play the Desert map from 4.08 in Excellent mode I get little 'holes' in the ground textures. Is that what you guys mean by little squares and rectangles?. IIRC, they were a bit irregular in shape but tended to correspond to the darker patches of the ground textures - ie those that represented bushes/trees. Actually, in the first screenshot I posted you can see similar textures, albeit in different colours, on the floor of the valley.

Those squares, holes or whatever you call it, is a texture bug, which doesn't appear on every system (in fact it seems on a relative low number only). It didn't appear on mine, so its good to have a Beta to check that out.
However, the reason for this bug was already examined and the solution is found. It will not appear on the final patch anymore.

P.S.: Ahhh, I love that La-7 landing pic! :-*

Nice screens, I seem to get no 'anomolies' so I am chuffed to bite, big thx to all involved.

PS, similar shot in a Spit on the Slovak map

I think these areas are supposed to be pools of water. I fly on a laptop and my graphics card doesn't support Perfect settings so maybe that is where the fault lies.

That is what I get too.

I don't think they're supposed to be there because some of the pools are on hills.

Good call. I think I'll try to land on one to see what happens. Will I sink or float?

I really like the rolling hills on these two maps. My favorite thing to do is skimming along the surface and watch the ground fall away as I crest a hill. Just then a city is revealed nestled at the low point near a river.


I run on perfect/extended landscape with an ATI 1650 w/512 mem. I have 2 Gig of DDR2 mem., and a Duo Core 6700. Win XP Pro. No artifacts so far.


For giggles I made a mission with a swarm of 32 Bf 110s escorted by 8 FW 190s. I'm taking off with seven other La7s to defend the city and it's indutrial zone. I've surrounded my airfield with 12 AA, and two neighbouring towns have about 8 AA each. No stutters. No hiccoughs. NADA.


Sweet map.

A slow belly landing in a I-153 didn't result in a water ditching; it was a crack up. The surface is definately solid.


What's interesting is that the squares are reflective like mirrors. At a low angle you can see an inverse of the horizon.

Carolann? Carolann!!!! Go to the light Carolann. Mommy's on the other side. go into the light.



I have noticed a very unique thing. It has nothing to do with gameplay, but when I made my mission and brought up the object menu the items were transparent in certain places.

For example. if I chose the La 7 from the object menu and pressed SHOW on the display window of the object menu the back part of the fuselage would be flickery/transparent. The fins and nose area would be fine. Hmmmmmmm.

I wish my good graphics card wasn't fried... I miss the games which are more graphically advanced than Theme Hospital...
Nice to see the screenshots though guys!
