I just put back into the code external view function.




not bad eh?

Not bad at all!

I'll say it again, if you guys ever need a beta tester, give me a shout here

It looks great inded! I specially like that pic of the Harrier landing on the carrier.

I'll second to semmern, if you need a beta tester...

nice shots! was the carrier moving during the landing? ca we get some at-sea shots of Harriers taking off?

carrier was standing still in that particular shot. dont worry though - in version last year - we had carrier landing on moving carrier. the only physics problem i never got round to sorting out was aircraft behaviour on a carrier that is turning.

The carrier part will be hopefully reworked to allow it to have multiple hitpoints for damage and moving bits like the aircraft - that carrier in screenshot is just a 'hack' I did to show it in-game and enable carrier deck behavior, notice how it lacks the ski-jump ramp in front and other important features.

With carrier feature complete (damageable, with ramp and other missing parts), with a good ground/deck behavior, probably we will have the first simple complete missions: take off from carrier, bomb some target in island (for example Stanley's airfield hangar and parked aircraft) and return to carrier. This will probably deserve a new website article too because we'd be reaching a level of having a very useable flightsim engine made entirely by us from scratch.

Low altitude detail is looking pretty good in the first one, nice work!

Looking good, guys!

Whoohoo!

Can't wait for this puppy's release, whenever that may be...

Very nice, again impressed by the graphic rendering in your sim.

Awesome Scary, da^^n are these teasers or what?! :p

that's great - well done

That looks absolutely superb,the Shar rolling in pic is great, good sense of altitude.Are we going to see sheep/old waling stations entering the ground objects library? Also, what in the way of AAA are you expecting to put in the engine?

there are sheep already modelled. maybe they will be animated - as will the argie soldiers.

I hope you guys are going to include a flight recorder option. It would be a shame to waste those views.

Incredible stuff Sacry P!
Awsome!

ANd don´t worry about the behaviour on a moving Deck, not even Oleg Maddox got that one right .

Some new pics of areas I'm currently working on:

Fitzroy


Goose Green


Bodie Creek


Of course they're still missing the 3d ground clutter and other details that I will add as next step.

That looks mighty impressive! I love the last pic there! It looks so...Falkland-ish!

Matter of taste, I rather prefer the second one showing Goose Green. Already very nice work on the details.

Thanks for these screenshots Dante-JT

Fantastic! On a related note, please make sure all 3D objects cast a dynamic shadow in the final release, this makes the graphics so much more convincing. LOMAC does a pretty good job, trees are practically the only objects without a shadow.
