Stary

yeah but the mysterious Space Jockey has very big fanbase build around, and where's SJ's ship there is something Alien... keyword: rumored last 8 minutes of Prometheus thing to notice: something eeerie similar to queen's head/crown/carapax in the 2nd trailer (0.5 second maybe)

Great Gerwin! re new format: trying some new format terrain modeling myself I can say every single day I'm more and more disappointed with the new engine

I think Julhelm mentioned something about adding it to stock water to me, but don't know the details how to.

Hmm, Streak, back in late 2010 when as I noticed back then things started to change in TK's approach to SF2, I was strongly hoping for Jet Thunder to make it, now it seems it's very slim chance of seeing that sim again in years. I considered back then slightly moving to JT territory given it was a good, stable modding platform. From a gamer and modders point, SF is the series that fits my need best, not to forget the great community we have. BUT in past several days, up to two weeks, I see some change in TK's approach to community that worries me to be honest -we had other thread about it, now locked, but I think many well known members voiced their opinions there on the matter. My "problem" is I don't see any good sim replacement around, DCS being cool, great and all, but not fun for me, FC2 (and FC3 incoming) being torn between survey and study to a point it's barely playable for me (but I love A-10 in it more than DCS one!), Il2... Il2 I try on regular yearly or so basis to force myself to like it, but it has no spirit in it for me, and as single player guy I find it lacking that hard to describe thing that makes one stay awake just for one quick dogfight more or mission replay. Funny as all mentioned titles are from ex USSR. CLOD is as good as dead for me, waste of money, ROF... it's great WW1 sim, beautiful and fun to fly, but for me gets repeative and boring after hour or so, maybe OFF Phase 4 will get me back into WW1 flying despite it's older engine. Heck I still have CFS3 ETO and MAW installed and like it for some flying on occasion. Geez I miss modern tech Janes' USNF/ATF/FA redo... that's why I stick to SF series I guess @Brain32: Outerra is great tech demo for now, but I find it hard to imagine full playable sim being build around it, I hope I'm wrong.

naa, 80/20 to you my friend! 80 to you. Kilometers that is

this particular angle and distance doesn't show the full awesomeness of the model, hats off to Jules

except the patent is one me

good sir, this is brilliant conspiracy theory! much better than underground reptilian aliens for sure

known issue, makes use of electro-opticals PIA

I really can't understand why the main screen, the one new customer sees as first thing in the title! looks like 5 minutes paint.net work of a 2nd grade kid to give credit, paint.net is in fact quite a handy program

pointing at some small developer..?

the A-6 one is for meeeee!

no need for them, materials leftovers from my other tests

2nd it is! IF you plan to release the RSR one too -maybe slightly desaturate the red background, that hurts my eyes (but my eyes are quite... unperfect)

if I were TK I'd buy that Bucc to make stand-alone game around it... just sayin' it's THAT good

great!

hmm, I have friendly task force showing

blue like in planningmap with grid

the empty ocean one I posted yesterday shows ok in zoomed in view

500 meters actually, still 25 time the size of NA ones (20 meters as ini says)

lovely shots Yuri! 2nd Raptor shot, one of the best F-22 shots I've seen

same here, happy with it, we wanted better water for ages, now it is here finally, no need to complain for me land... is slightly different thing though

The North Atlantic Drift part of Gulfstream is in fact that blue. As you can see I've included modified colours water files, to no effect sadly

not on stock ones or those in older format terrain editor created, this is new created in max that's why it can have proper mesh name that automatically adds water effect to the mesh

I guess ice caps are separate mesh mapped with tga or dds for transparency, kinda like IL2 forests, sans multiple layers I still haven't figured out how to do more than two materials on ground (iceland_dirt1 and rocks ones)
