  1. Dynamic shadows in the cockpit (considering it's going to be 3dof) will be brilliant. Not just the cockpit framing casting shadows down but also the panels and switches each casting its own shadow relative to the sunshine (obviously turn-off-able for the lesser powered computers) As for HDR, for a simulation I can't see the point of it. It's best used in games where you going from an area of extreme sunlight/brightness to an area of darkness. I guess the only time you'd do this is when looking outside, and then casting your eyes down at the panel but the effect would surely be OTT and unrealistic.
  2. Alot of them are ex-fighter pilots (now civilian pilots) I recall there being two RAF pilots last time I watched one and a couple of USN and Russian pilots..
  3. Deathwish/Nightwish/any sort of glam rock solo-ey guitar stuff... I mean, I'm not pissing on anyones music here, I just feel that genre of music is overdone. Even Zimmers stuff... Nice to see some more obscure stuff being suitably used and used well :)
  4. Thought it was brill music. Better than the ACDC/Deathwish/ridiculous guitar solo music that typically (and rather boringly) goes with most aviation themed stuff..
  5. As long as there are nerds and anoraks, there will be sim lovers ;)
  6. Well I for sure can't run Lomacs graphics on full :) And my computer isn't that bad.
  7. Read my second post :) I'm as cool as a cucumber. And you're speaking for yourself there :megalol: Ven, Lomacs graphics are great considering the amount of 'background' stuff it is modelling. You have radar, flight models etc etc all being constantly computed in the background as well as all the physical models and graphics. AC6 doesn't have to put up with such intensive background tasks so has more resources to spend on graphics (thank god!) If Lomac had graphics like this AND all its FM's modelled etc etc you'd need 3 NASA super computers to run it :megalol:
  8. But on what terms do you base that it's a 'waste'? Thousands of people are going to play this. Does that sound like a waste? :P I'm totally relaxed about the whole thing! :) I just wish people wouldn't turn their noses up at games that are trying to be arcadey and enjoyable just because they don't have an accurate FM or HUD. It's the same as when BF2 is mentioned here or any of the other major FPS's, everyone's very quick to jump on the 'bashing bandwagon' and put down the 'lesser genres' :( I enjoy them, it doesn't make me a stupid person, just someone who doesn't nesecarily have the time or will to play a flight sim as avidly as some of the folks here. :D Now if it said on the front page "Brand new Xbox360 Flight Sim then I'd atleast understand the groundings of your argument! :) However, the narration is going to be crap. But then again who plays a flight arcade game for the story? :P
  9. Seriously guys, I find some of your comments rather offensive. The average Xbox users IQ is 4? Jesus...no wonder this genre is so small if it's full off pretentious gits who look down on anyone else who cannot sit down for 3 hours at a time and learn 50+ keyboard commands. I can't understand why anything that isn't a sim gets shot to peices on this forum...
  10. Looks gorgeous. As an avid Xbox360 owner who enjoys his arcade games just as much as his sims, I'm definately going to be buying this! And to disagree with the thread starter, there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wasted about this game. Seriously....
  11. I'd just like stationary troops to fire at. They wouldn't have to run, think or move...just give me that extra layer of immersion (despite it maybe not being totally realistic) but it would be better than nothing... I remember the first time I strafed a convoy in IL2 and seeing all the little dudes running away...awesome moment.
  12. IIRC the reason why Russians developed large payload nuclear weapons is due to them lacking the more advanced tracking and accuracy the West had. Why bother making it more accurate when you can simply make a bigger hole :smartass: Of course, correct me if I'm wrong...
  13. With you on this one. But hey, I'm all for seeing lots of polys on a helicopter I won't be looking at from up close :| :thumbup:
  14. No offense chaps, But I wouldn't spend £10 on a game that looks this bad :| Why'd you guys like it so much? I've been looking for a good tank sim... EDIT!!!= Whoops! Sorry guys, I think that's SB1, not the latest ones...PHEW!! I thought you'd all lost if for a second there.
  15. It's an Apache, I've got the bigger, more bright version of that same picture.
  16. That effect doesn't happen in real life anyway.... But still a bloody cool picture.
  17. Precisely what I mean Weta...hit the nail on the head.
  18. Lol, All opinions are wrong, apart from mine of course:music_whistling::P
  19. Why not art? Surely 'art' is normally regarded as a reproduction of something real onto paper....just like it would be if Richy had drawn/painted a picture of the real thing. Only this is 3D :smartass: Modelling is just another form of 'art'. And that my friends, is about as top quality as this art gets :thumbup:
  20. But I've posted all them links with work inprogress shots!! just look at them!! :p Annoys me to see people not appreciating the incredible talent, skill and time taken to produce a peice of art like this. Oh well! :D xxxx
  21. The images have not been tampered with! Apart from adding the crew, coke cans and wrenches. You can look at the inprogress shots to see. They're normal pictures of a DAMN good PHYSICAL 1/32 scale ACADEMY F18 with some DAMN good photography and lighting :D
  22. That's because the ground crew are photoshopped in :P He got me aswell :doh: He added ground crew using photoshop to get a more crowded look. I prefer the normal model shots.
  23. Lol FF, you've got to get of the herbs and open your eyes :P Over weathered?? I've seen pics of dirtier birds than that...
  24. His name is Richy and he visits a VERY popular online modelling website known as ARC (www.aircraftresourcecenter.com) His work is simply astonishing. In progress links (lots of them) http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=30097&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=30608&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=31683&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=35054&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=34505&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=36437&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=36687&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=37332&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=36257&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=44939&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=45359&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=45826&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=54874&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=59734&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=59937&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=68236&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=67922&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=69828&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=88629&hl= http://s102164210.onlinehome.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=89357&hl= Lots of links but ALL worth looking at.
  25. Yes...and then you fit in every civilian aircraft, airliner, military jet/cargo plane,car,truck,motorbike,boat and chimney...takes up a lil more space.
