Simfan1998 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I knew! Since the first object renders, i knew it was UE, there is no way otherwise to render this amount of tri's without Nanite, then i was totally convinced by the amount of details of the Hangar. Good choice going with UE i'd say 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade_Monkey Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Looking forward to trying the prototype. This Lvl of detail is something I've really missed from IL2, especially on airfields. I hope they populate the carriers with some crew, even if they are just decorative and non functional. Does UE have an out of the box VR mode? I'd assume they would but not sure how much work it needs to implement here. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetstaine Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 My 3080 is looking for any reason to jump in and replace my daughters 2080. Looks like this will finally be the reason, besides Task Force Admiral there isn't any other games i'm looking forward too. Beautiful work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you just enable the plugin: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/oculus-prerequisites-in-unreal-engine?application_version=5.0 One of the big advantages of using UE is that you get this stuff for free. And it's the new OpenXR as well, so no more OpenComposite to trick the application into thinking it is talking to SteamVR. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjel Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Great videos. Your narration has really improved Jason. I'm looking forward to watching this sim develop! Best of luck!! After re-reading the portion about your needs and whats of some skilled skinners to help create skins for showcasing Combat Pilot, I realized I'm not of that caliber of artist but thankfully this community is loaded with talent in that regard. All the same, I cannot wait to tackle some PTO skins when this sim goes live. Edited April 4 by Rjel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairbear29 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Fantastic I'd be happy just using a drone camera view to explore the carriers! Will definitely be getting the experimental prototype as soon as its available. I have heaps of questions such as will vr be available on release of the experimental prototype but will wait for your future updates 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

III.JG52 Al-Azraq Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 This is looking great! I even love the box art, with the sunny and blue Pacific ocean tones. I am also pumped to see what UE5 has to offer for simulators. Lately EPIC has been promoting the engine among both professional and 'gaming' simulation sectors and it seems it is being adopted (the most known and public project is the NOR platform). It will also allow for modern visual techniques and optimisation, hopefully the needed modification to UE5 to adapt it for a public simulator will not be a pain for the devs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickshaker Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'll be waiting anxiously for the Experimental Prototype. I don't mind paying for it but would buyers of the finished product get a discount if they buy the Experimental Prototype first? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickkyboy99 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 With UE5, there is no doubt this game will look absolutely stunning! Can't wait to play!!! 😄 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrajo73 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It feels so f... unreal you are using the unreal engine :)) i allways dreamed about it, and know it is becoming real. I am so excided about combat pilot and was so much hoping for a long time one day a pacific combat sim would be made in this engine. We are allmost there. If this fails it will be a shame for us combat simmers and i would be very sad. This is so much looking good and promesing!!! Please lets all help this to come true. Thank you TEAM and Jason for trying it come true and i wish you/ us the best for this to succes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calos_01 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Looking at that nice PanAm building leads me to believe that we can expect bigger planes than Zero or Wildcat in the future. 😀 I wish the sim a successful takeoff! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
