IckyAtlas Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I am impressed at the work at this point and its pace. Time is money so the shorter the dev cycle before some paid release and the better you are financially. If someone can succeed in this challenge of building a new sim and a new talented dev team (example Car) from scratch, and that's Jason. he has an immense experience and so as long as the cash burn rate is compatible with investors I am confident he can succeed. I am sure he will avoid the typical death trap of game developers, like the one Oleg Maddox fell in with COD. Long live Combat Pilot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Wildcat it is difficult to assess at this point. For the bombs the gun and torpedo I would say very appreciated. We have then to see how it will appear ingame with lighting, shadows, reflections etc. I think we need a little more context around the objects to really appreciate the style. The challenge is like always to have surfaces and texture that do not appear too clean. During war material was used in a very rugged way, so it was full of dents, scratches, rust (mainly in tropical very humid region as soon as paint was scratched, or due to aggression of sea water, salt is terrible), bruises etc. It is that kind of realistic aspect that is difficult to render. One important thing is also to have the right 3D appearance of the surface. I mean if you have a dent that this dent is indeed seen as a physical dent in the material and not a "painted" dent on flat surface. This does impact a lot the visual feeling. But with the existing tools of today like Unreal Engine etc. this should be feasible I suppose. A lot of challenges for the team and Carl. Good luck and keep up with the good work.

But, the "dent" would only be visible up close. Same with rust, flaking paint and other assorted wear and tear. I doubt beyond a lot of missing paint on an airplane, that any of it would be seen in flight. Given the limitations of computing power, would each and every other similar object in the game exhibit the same wear and tear? Then you have a world full of clones that would also tend to suspend immersion. IMO. I'd sooner see that type of graphic representation as an option and not a hard wired feature. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitthrawnuruodo Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Can any experts on US aircraft ordnance infer which aircraft would be needed in the game to carry the bombs that have been shown? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzPig_EL Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Any US aircraft that could carry a bomb, army or navy. The 2000 pounder would be limited to multi engine bombers, and perhaps the Avenger and maybe the Helldiver.
