Imagine what it will be like once they start to implement some of the DX11 stuff. _________________________ guod@simhq [dot] com twitter.com/SimHQ youtube.com/SimHQcom livestream.com/SimHQ P.O.R.

What kind of stuff are we talking about here? "Real" transparent water? Dust clouds? Realistic, not over-the-top bloom? Depends how much they'll be able to include, and that is yet to be determined. They just decided to attempt this recently. There's a good DX11 video here that RustyNOR posted in the A-10C forum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uavLefzDuQ We'll know more once they get farther along on the Black Sea map. Keep in mind the Nellis screens aren't DX11 and they look amazing. If they had little luck implementing DX11 and we had to settle on the visuals in those screens, that wouldn't be so bad. _________________________ guod@simhq [dot] com twitter.com/SimHQ youtube.com/SimHQcom livestream.com/SimHQ P.O.R.
