UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted September 1, 2011 Classic one Olham....And Hasse Wind as the test pilot just fits perfectly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 5 Posted September 1, 2011 That was a good one Olham. At least there was a good reason for crashing into a tree. I've actually managed it twice with no obscured view! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted September 1, 2011 Anyone can do it without the blanket, Wayfarer - but to hit the tree flying blindfolded, is not so easy surely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted September 1, 2011 OK for that effort Olham here's some pics of the Phase 4 FE2b - note this is using an older Phase 3 skin - these are however currently being improved for Phase 4 by Sandbagger - so if we can show it wearing some of those soon we will.

Olham 164 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Haha, that's great! Though I actually did above joke as an entertaining attempt of defense of your tactics. I absolutely trust in you devs, that you have your reasons for working so secretly on what shall become the next generation of the best WW1 flight sim ever. Damn, it looks so neat - as if you could put your hand on the wing and touch it! This beautiful model should lure some more people into it's seats. No idea what you want to improve, but I trust in Sandbagger there. Edited September 1, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks for the coaxing Olham. Great pics Pol. My faith in OBD is well placed I'm sure. Waiting is not so hard when you know that those responsible are so dedicated, talented and hard working. More pics are welcome anytime and may God speed. A shout out to everyone on the OBD team. The skinners, historians, modelers, programmers and anyone one else sharing their precious time and talents. You are all the best there is. Thank you!

+Polovski 460 Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks Olham I know what you mean they just seem more real now with all the parts coming together, I'm sure once Sandbagger has applied his skills it will look more real too. We appreciate the comments guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted September 2, 2011 Good work, Olham. It's their duty to be as secretive as they can, and our duty to pry it out of them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSmoke 2 Posted September 2, 2011 I still say we have the BEST clouds in any sim I have ever tried. Can't compare them to CLOD because I haven't tried it yet and won't be for some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+elephant 36 Posted September 2, 2011 CloD clouds come straight from the previous version... Modded old IL-2 Clouds look way better, IMO... I agree that OFF skies look gorgeous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasse Wind 46 Posted September 2, 2011 Well, he did give some more. I knew I was lucky! Looks great. The Fee is an enjoyable crate already in P3, and I'm sure things will only get better in P4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted September 2, 2011 Good work, Olham. It's their duty to be as secretive as they can, and our duty to pry it out of them! Yeah, I guess that's what they call job sharing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks for understanding guys but rest assured we are working flat out on this - and no that does not mean lying down! WM I am sure you are all working 'flat out' on P4 and the results will be fantastic. But I've got to be honest. For some reason, this has felt like the longest two weeks of my life. I sometimes wonder if it will ever end. Nice scoop Olham. You're a natural for reporting in the field. Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea what you want to improve, but I trust in Sandbagger there. The last version of the FE2b was by OVS and has served us all well. We decided to update the FE2b inline with Phase 4 improvements. The enhanced skins will have more wing structural detail as well as detailing such as nacelle stitching/screws/bolts, wing joints, weathering, tyre manufacturer text etc. We hope this will bring the FE2b right up to the standard required for the Phase 4 release. The master texture file is close to completion so Pol may be posting some previews soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the pics. They surely look nice. Keep working OBD, and give us the best WWI immersive combat sim. Edited September 4, 2011 by Von Paulus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks guys, scenery really does help the immersion. Nothing out there like Winder's scenery to be honest. Indeed, the scenery is amazing. I was looking at one of the pics. posted recently that showed a rather large town/small city that receded into the haze, and it suddenly struck me how much work must go into building a city. (even assuming the use of modular parts) I know that as you fly a campaign mission you experience the weather on that certain day in, let us say, 1916, and the trench lines change according to date, but what about towns and cities? Do the Devs work from historical maps of the era? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flyby PC 23 Posted September 6, 2011 Wow! ..... and can you imagine actually standing up to fire that rear facing machine gun? I mean really doing it, in the air with the wind and aircraft swinging about. I'm getting vertigo just thinking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
