Regarding the bomb blasts: the durability of buildings can be set in the mission editor, so the effectiveness of bombs is largely in the hands of the mission designer.

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Nice article about ROF sir! Though I find the gunner controls to be hard at times, resetting or not moving the direction I need them to go. It was also nice to see the little bit of SDOE's past at the bottom of the first page of your article.

Cheers!

Thank you all for the feedback and encouragement - I'm glad you enjoyed the read.

The first picture, and the last three pictures, on page 2 were mine. The rest were hand picked (with permission) from the official Rise of Flight development blog.

Post effects were off (except maybe for "High Contrast" - I don't remember). Shadows "Special: High". Gamma Correction 70%. Everything else (except AA) is almost maxed out.

So - try turning off post-effects and ramping up gamma if you want a similar image.

Very cool to know - this explains a mystery which has long haunted my modding efforts wink Thanks!

Good balanced review!

just want to emphasize:

The full version is free to play without any restrictions. (including MP)
And for all gunners with no piloting experience: you can jump into the bombers in MP without buying the bombers.
