Babar89: I have mine in the resolution it was taken: 1280x800. Here it is (open image in new tab to get full size):


The other 2 were taken by scary_pigeon on his machine. Hopefully he will pop here in this forum and post them (after his birthday party, tomorrow, 7th July =)

Thank you !

What's that brown in the water? Rock? Can you actually see through water, or is that a bug or what?

I know, it looks buggy / incomplete without the shorelines foam / splashy effect (a shader to be added /animated later)

but, shallow waters would be visible as such.

Dante, I am looking forward to using the Mirage and Super Etendard. Do you have any pics, info or updates on how these are going or are these craft still work in progress?

^^ Dante to me it looks really good like that, really gives off that "warm, clear & inviting" look you see on postcards.

Unfortunately, it should really be giving off exactly the opposite impression: cold, dark, choppy and extremely uninviting. This is the South Atlantic, not "Battle for Midway"!

C'mon, show us some cloud. I want to REALLY have reservations about banging out of my Harrier!

(otherwise, great work )

Cheers, Spinner

bogusheadbox: (specially Super Etendard) are awaiting a new avionics module code, current one unfortunately is too limited for anything more than an A-4B Skyhawk or Pucara.

AWL_Spinner: heh indeed. One of the code priorities for August is proper weather, this means a new clouds system and sky/time of day simulation. This has been largely overlooked because at first it seems like a "cosmetic" part of development, but I truely know that this is the heart of the immersion a flight sim set in the uninviting South Atlantic.

Fantastic, can't wait to see what you guys do with that!

I for one would be very interested to see a pitching carrier deck in bad visibility from a Harrier in the hover - would present some very interesting challenges especially if carrying damage or, as in several occasions during the war, if flying on fumes and having no fuel for a go-around.

And yes, environmental immersion is very much a key component: the season and it's weather played more than a bit-part in 1982.

Cheers!

Thank you for the reply Dante
