SF2I screens up on facebook

[eraser_tr 29]

Just saw on facebook TK posted some screens of SF2 Israel. Nothing unexpected shown, but given his previous track record, we can expect a release very soon

[Spinners 15,986]

The Mustangs, Vampires and Meteors in the proposed add-on look really sweet.

Last time SF2E screenshots surfaced it was just before the weekend of its release :yess:

 

Notice new effects of official shots. HDR? New shaders finally online without the mod?

He may have, though one can achieve a similar effect via lighting adjustments. I did notice, however, a "glow" shader in use...look closely at the tracers being fired by the F-4.

Or Sparrow's exhaust, or F-4 wings lit up by the sun. Notce the sun "eating" up part of Flogger's tailplane.

BTW the shine on Mirage looks a bit different. Can't fugure out how exactly

[eraser_tr 29]

on second inspection of those tracers, I do see a glow. It's gonna be fun to see how soviet tracers and gunfire at night looks with those. Who knows what little surprises there will be?

 

If he puts in an in game quick mission builder akin to IL2 or pretty much any flight sim where we can pick a specific enemy, I will die a happy man

[JediMaster 451]

Yeah, that's right. SF2E screenshots preceded its release by a matter of hours, really. Guess I'll check in there every day this weekend.

I personally think theres nothing new...its just the resized screenshots giving the illusion...from non shader \hdr effect screenies ive taken...it looks the same

[+Stary 2,427]

Yep. Definitely looks like new shaders.

 

Release tomorrow? It's weekend

 

edit:

 

new bloom visible on the lower left wing surface of F-4

 

but I wear glasses, and these are low res

 

the terrain heightmap seem a bit more detailed..?

I bet it's not just a straight WOI conversion.

TK must've squeezed some new effects and shaders in there for sure.

 

So we'll be able to merge this into our SF2 merged installs.. That'll be nice.

until now the news softs were not just straight conversions of the previous ones, so we can guess some new options/function

 

not many but surely some ones

You mean, like this?

[Gr.Viper 131]

Uhh.... kinda.

[Fubar512 1,350]

Check PMs

[Gr.Viper 131]

I'll wait for the release for now

 

BTW, new shots are up. Glow on burning plane fragments.

And this is just awesome http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8555926&id=187224385202

 

They've even redrawn the F-16 pit. At least I think they did.

[Murphy'S 15]

sure the f-16 pit is redone (it was one of the "star" plane of woi)

 

but i hope the kfir and mirage pit are redone too

Curiouser and curiouser... They didn't get those until 1979.. None of WoI stock campaigns would include them.

[+Spillone104 553]

And an F-4E Kurnass with refuelling probe...

[+Dave 2,322]

Oh yeah I can't wait.

neutral traffic implemented for the 1982 battle?

[Gr.Viper 131]

Aren't the Egyptians supposed to be on the other side of Israel at the time?

[Murphy'S 15]

don't think it was so clear

[+ST0RM 145]

The more, the merrier. As long as the service dates are correct, they EAF Phantoms won't show in early battles.

 

Of note also, the HILL scheme wasn't worn until late in their career. They wore the SEA for quite some time after delivery.

The suspense is killing me

I hope Thirdwire has enough bandwidth for all of us when SF2:I becomes available.
