Hi all,

For your entertainment whilst you wait, here is a new Wings Over Flanders Fields movie, (Preview #3).



Note this is of course work in progress. The troops advancing are being improved as we speak more variety and positions/stances. Should be great.
Enjoy.

Also whilst testing today WM took a couple of great screenshots when coming back from a long campaign mission - he saw the result of a real enemy mission that had just occurred whilst they were out out. The enemy mission was a bombing attack on his own home field ...

Marvelous.
Thanks.

Downloading the video now but right up front I must say that I love the screenshots. The man goes out to fight a war and finds out that the war was just as busy at his home airfield! I love the bombed out buildings and blast marks not to mention the incredible blending of the terrain and track marks from vehicles. Incredible stuff gentlemen.

Fee's.. in formation, lovely stuff!!

Ok - pretty fricking awesome stuff in Preview Movie #3. A few things of note:

A plane that was shot down actually begins to fall apart as the forces tear at it's already weakened wings. Looks great!

The blending of sky and ground seems exceptionally well done in certain scenes.

The shot where you see "the front" down below as a backdrop to an Allied scout - Camel? - looks just amazing. Wonderful details.

The underside of the top wing of the Fokker DVII from the players virtual cockpit point of view clearly has much sharper textures.

The AI splitting up to attack from multiple directions is simply wonderful! (unless you are in one of the two seaters, I suppose)

At the end where the AI pilots scan around the skies and each spot the player below them at different times is just awesome.

The attacking armor and infantry units during large scale ground combat is a great improvement over P3.

Keep up the great work Gentlemen.

Thanks for the comments much appreciated all helps to keep us going to the end

Yes Hellshade WM got back to find his lovely home field trashed whilst he was out, and no way to pay back until tomorrow. On this occasion they dumped their bomb load and ran off some time before he got there.

As we say these are real full missions by opposing forces going on even when you are not there, across the front. It was also so in P3 but now much more so. The new AI have more of an impact on the events that unfold, the movie at the end gives a taste of one way this is so. More on that later. ...

The screenies are great! What a surprise, when you come back to this.

Must see the video again now. What I noticed first: not only do the cockpits
look super-realistic - the underside Lozenge also does now. No more blurry
pattern - rather the real thing!

Fantastic stuff Pol, and I love the musical score at the opening of the clip - really moving stuff.

So... we finally got the Little Green Men back (LGM)! Only took us what... fourteen years??

(Inside joke amongst us ancient Red Baron 3D folks... )

Freaking awesome! Kudos to the dev team and the musical score, wow I didn't think it could get any better then OFF Phase 3,
just incredible
