Ilya stated that they can't use AA yet since they use HDR and its not possible to use both at the same time.

Wip terrain. No OGL apparently, that means DX. One year out means DX11 and tesselation hopefully.

Nice cliffs on this pic, but they don't reflect in the water (the clouds behind them do though). I wonder if they are a separate object from the terrain?

But you can force AA in the nvpanel or the CCC

I agree spit cockpit looks great along with water/clouds and sun. I have to say it doesn't look 80% finished like Oleg said it was in June. Another year or so at least if the game is still in Alpha, they will have to work like hell to get this done before next September, but if everything looks as good as that Spit cockpit then i guess it will be worth the wait.

They look really good to me.

Individual window frames in airfield "flavor" objects cast shadows, but cliffs do not? Don't get me wrong, there is some amazing stuff there (do I see towering columns of smoke?).

They can... But only with DirectX 11-compatible v-card. Otherwise - either AA, or HDR, but never both.

A mixed bag,no more no less............this looks a long way from finished.

I do like the aircraft, objects, and trees. I especially like the smoke in this screenshot.

This will be a big improvement over the small smoke columns.

The cliffs are also a good shape but need a chalk look to them. Although these cliffs are in the fantasy island on-line map so the BOB cliffs should be shaded accordingly.

Either Oleg is alot further behind than he suggests or he's withholding alot of the terrain on the BOB map for whatever reasons.

Looks ok. Nothing earth shattering.
