Olham 164 Posted November 19, 2009 Wow - that Nupe 28 above the field is a very beautiful shot! And although this is mainly about new craft, I'm always stunned again about what a good landscape gardener Winder is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 424 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks guys - Winder has improved the trees and scenery too in the expansion. Hopefully some of those will show it off. I had to reduce the size of some pics to reduce the load a little in the thread. Just a note of work on show: Great skins and textures by WM & Sandbagger & cracker EV skins from OvS! Rest of the team not necessarily obvious on show here Meticulously researched by Shred of course, Makai has also improved many other skins, and RexH brought about some of the great features like custom player skins: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted November 20, 2009 Gorgeous stuff Pol! The wait is killing me I love the shot of the N.28 banking to Port Really shows her sleek, taporing fusalage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) Pol: Winder has improved the trees and scenery too in the expansion. Hopefully some of those will show it off. Definitely! Most may just notice it subconsciously, but I always thought, that you have created a mighty fine landscape for OFF, which is an immense part of the whole immersion. And when you even managed to improve that - incredible! Edited November 20, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macklroy 2 Posted November 20, 2009 Fantastic looking shots there Pol! Once again you guys 'never' fail to impress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the pics Pol. I like the brasswork details in the strut connections on the DH 5 and Petrol inscribed on the cap. Smallish details perhaps but for myself things like that add to my sense of sitting in the seat of a real airplane. Seems the textures are advanced from earlier planes as well. More weathering and texture you can almost feel. I also see the more irregular ruts in the airfields, like the turnaround marks at the end of the field, seems that is new detail. I applaud the whole team thanks again. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted November 20, 2009 That's how I used to fool my old dad. When he visited me in Berlin, he wanted to see some places, of course. When we had walked a while, and he felt a bit exhausted, he kept asking me: "When will we be there?" Or: "How much more will we have to walk?" My standard answers used to be: "In 5 minutes." or "500 Meter." When he then asked again, and said, 5 minutes where over now, or we had now walked 500 Meters, I said, that had been basic mental encouragement to keep him walking, but from HERE on, it was really only 5 minutes, or 500 Meter. I should be ashamed, but it kept him in shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His response whenever one of us kids would ask how much further, would ALWAYS be. "oh, not far, just up around this bend." There were a lot of bends and corners as we hiked. hehe On topic. Cant wait!

Rickitycrate 10 Posted November 20, 2009 Yes, they used it on us in our youth and then we turn around and use it on them in thier elder years. My mother in-law is like the 12 year old I never had at times. Bless her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky 0 Posted November 21, 2009 I've also noticed increases in performance with the patches and addons so they must be doing more optimizations. can now run BHAH on settings that would cripple my PC when it first came out. Allowed me to delay upgrading for a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barkhorn1x 9 Posted November 26, 2009 Fantastic work!! And custom players skins. Yea!!! Now , at the risk of sounding pedantic, the blue color used for the US roundels on the N28 looks a bit too light to me. Shouldn't it be as shade darker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredward 12 Posted November 26, 2009 Fantastic work!! And custom players skins. Yea!!! Now , at the risk of sounding pedantic, the blue color used for the US roundels on the N28 looks a bit too light to me. Shouldn't it be as shade darker? Hello Barkhorn, You've risked sounding pedantic, but I applaud you for having a good eye. And yes, some rudders were overpainted, darker, and the sequence altered after they arrived in the field, in the 94th and 95th. When you get Hat in the Ring, you will find those rudders overpainted, while the rudders of the 27th and 147th retained the factory hues and notations, again with the sequence altered. We do our homework. Cheers, shredward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
