Beebop-RIP Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 ....for the best looking ground objects. Here are some new screens from the SoW/BoB devs: round wheels- more roundness- even fairies...err, ferrys- Even so, Knights of the Sky looks like a really good way to go. And with the hack of the IL2 .sfs files I'm willing to bet SoW/BoB will be further delayed while Oleg and crew try and find a better way to encode the code. BTW, anyone else notice that the Ubi forums are down? I get: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Waldo.Pepper Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Other than to act as targets on the French mainland I can't see why Oleg has bothered to model German tanks, like the Panzer 38t and the Panzer II. If they are indeed to act as targets on the French mainland the RAF of 1940 sure couldn't do much about it. If there is a campaign mode I sure wouldn't waste resources attacking them. They sure are beauts though. Quote
JensenPark Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 man those are great shots...where'd you find them? Can't wait to lawndart while trying to strafe them. Quote
Emann Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 WOW!!! Where did you find those pics, Beebop? Most of them I've never seen before. That Citroen Traction Avant certainly gets my heart beating. EDIT- Not a Traction Avant, probably a Mercedes 320. Quote
Beebop-RIP Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 Nice. Will that run on our sytems? Probably for only 1/3 of us at best. Most of us will need to run somewhere from "Medium" to "Excellent". With all those polys it will take a rahter hefty vid card and CPU I would think to get 24+ frames in "Perfect". I'm not gonna worry about BoB (although I will probably buy it). Here's why from my point of view... One, limited planeset. Now I love the Battle of Britain but I'm used to lots-o-planes. For most, they are either not that interested in BoB alone or, like me, am spoiled by what IL-2 offers now. Two, Knights of the Sky. If Il-2 get's slow this sim will certainly be a breath of fresh air. Three, BoB will be delayed, mark my words. The hack of the .sfs files will have the 1C team working on a harder to crack system. I don't expect BoB until 2nd quarter of 07. Four, with the need to upgrade, BoB will take off slowly. And if too slow will stall and "Arthur" into the bargin bin. Quote
Quazi Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 The majority of us are able to run this sim on Perfect landsacpe and high eye candy settings now. I would say SOW-BoB will have these m8s on excellent settings a lower eye candy detail. I know a dual core cpu will be a big plus for BoB, as well as at least 2GB memory and one of the higher ended cards form ATI or nVidia. Most here probable have bios upgrades that will allow for dual core usage, and mobos capable of 2GB. And those like myself with an AGP mobo, will probably need to get the 7800 GS CO for a video card. So what I am saying is that I belive one may get by pretty well by just doing a few upgrades to their existing rig rather than a brand new build. I know my Nforce 3 mobo can run dual core cpus as well as 2GB ram. And I already have the 7800 GS. Those with PCI-E mobos will have the advantage of being able to run the really higher ended video cards. And if you already have a SLI mobo, then the addition of a dual core cpu and another video card in SLI will probably set you up well. At any rate, I belive most of us will be able to run BoB well enough with a few upgrades vs. a new build. Quote
Emann Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Note the individual bullet holes on the Kubelwagen. :shock: I have a feeling the damage modeling on the actual planes will be nothing short of incredible. Quote
Enforcer57 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Well Hootie hooo! Thats amazing. I like the kraut version of the bofors, and the 38t. I swear the ferry looks amazingly like what our mates on here have come up wiht via a little rigging in the fmb. Im sure the panzers are included with misn blders in mind. THeres a bunch of stuff in our current sim that are seen nowhere but via the FMB I believe. Quote
Beebop-RIP Posted July 7, 2006 Author Posted July 7, 2006 You've been asking where those screenies came from.... Here: http://forums.netwings.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5463 Quote
Cold_Gambler Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 :shock: that level of detail is astounding... Quote
JensenPark Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 :shock: that level of detail is astounding... and I'm sure all we'll hear on the boards is that the sound is lousy. Hey CG: when are you going to be allowed back in the air? Quote
