...hope i'm not asking for too much when I hope those swells adjust to the currently set season and/or weather/wind conditions.




suppose I should add a "WIP" disclaimer
Looks FANTASTIC so far though!!

My thoughts exactly!! Looks absolutely stunning. Great work! Can't wait till I can get the money for this map and the two seaplanes!!

Fantastic sea rendering!
Looking from this view, waves should be probably 1-1.50 meters height at least = noway to land a WW1 seaplane on this place

+1! AMAZING!!

And can you believe this is just the ALPHA version? Can't wait to see/fly on the final one!!!

How much FPS will we get with this water rendering ? 2 ? 10 ? 40 ?

Good question - but I would actually think there are a TON less textures to render flying over this water, compared to, say, Arras, or No-Man's-Land. And modern video cards seem to eat this water stuff for lunch...

...so I'd suspect it should be right up there in FPS.

*shrug*

I'm not worried.

I can't wait to see a coastline.

I agree with Brian.

I would expect the fps over water to be better than the fps over land. Lot less textures and trees to render.

Just as in Cliffs of Dover, if you want good frames in that game head for the Channel.

Great advertising.

Just placed my first pre-order ever!

It'll be loads of fun flying around some new scenery....

The picture captures the feeling of being alone in a single engine kite, far from the shore... Nowhere to go but to the other side.

I would pre order the map and planes if I had a secure ETA on this and the two planes.

Well as its in the 2012 roadmap then I'd say the next 6 months is a reasonable estimate.

777 seem to tackle development in achievable chunks so I can't imagine we'll be waiting too long for the map and two planes. Also the maps not just water, Flanders is an exciting area for the British and Central flyer.

Looks outstanding!

Same here. I want the map, and am willing to pre-pay, but I'd like to see an ETA as well before the credit card takes a hit.

A month or so, sure. But unknown... no.

Well it's in beta so it wont be long. Anything in beta is not far away

Actually water is in Alphs. Other stuff is in Beta.

There he goes again.. always teasing us.

Still hoping they pull a rabbit out and include the terrain area around London, not necessarily all the buildings, etc. of course, but at least the geography so that it can be done in the future (near of far), if not by the devs, then by third party teamwork.

Agreed, London from the air would be amazing... if not now but sometime in the future.

Besides, what will our Zeppelins bomb?

As long as you know we're not ragging on you when we make our comments about when things will be released.

You guys are putting out a great product and I think you've got a pretty happy - and supportive - customer base.

Cheeers.

I thought that read Alps and I about jumped out of my chair screaming.... then it clicked and I cried

My pre-order was made with confidence, now it is multiplied!

Your reaction is eerily similar to mine . We'll just root for RoF Piave 2014!!!!

Cheers,

A map question:

It says in the map info at the RoF store that the Channel map will be integrated into the career nmode, will it also be available for Quick Missions?

That will be a deal breaker for me if it isn't and I don't want to pre-order until I know for sure.

Thanks.

I'm quite sure it will be; because the Quick Mission screen IIRC already has support for map changing (up right corner), but indeed some changes will be necessary (bases etc.) - but since they already modified the bases for the Brandenburg, it means it's not so hard to add some for the new map

Excellent!

I never fly career mode in any flightsim, I'm a sandbox flyer pure and simple. So I want to be sure I can just jump in and cruise around and not have any constraints.

Thanks.
