361fundahl Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Sweet! I hope they work on the "bubble" effect for trees as well!
LizLemon Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Hope that they improve things a lot over the coming months. And they need to do something about the lod bubbles. Its very obvious without the snow.
Finkeren Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I like the colors, but agree about the LoD bubble. Also: The water looks like placeholder as well. It kinda looks like a monochrome blueish surface with high reflection.
6./ZG26_Gielow Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 The bubble will be very noticeable now in summer maps. I remember the classic IL2 started with 36 km visibility then later on they improved to 72. Perfect mode.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Dry ground for the panzers! We'll be in Moscow in three weeks boys......................... 3
Uriah Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Most rivers are brown, not blue. Trees don't seem to blend in well. Still, I like.
ShamrockOneFive Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Looks really good to me. Obvious improvements in the light scattering colours over the earlier ones and pretty god looking fields too. Not as solid green as I expected but then I think IL-2 did that to me with the originals green everywhere
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 It's WIP but, honestly, it is coming along really well. Can't wait to see the final product. Very impressed. Keep up the good work DEVS, it is appreciated.
Jade_Monkey Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Sweet! Navigation is going to be a bit easier now, although i must say I started to get relatively good at it in the all snow maps.
SCG_Neun Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm sure it's a WIP, but it sure looks good to me....
DeafBee Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Looks great!! The snow is really well made in BOS, but I miss the green fields like in ROF. Looking forward to this.
Freycinet Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Any suggestions from people on how to improve the LOD bubble issue? - Just expanding it is not a solution, because we are dealing with finite resources when it comes to rendering the scene. Gradations?
FlyingNutcase Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 The atmosphere in snowy BOS is incredible, but my honest impression of the summer map is rather underwhelming at this stage - the trees are a garish green and the closer fields look like a painting. Well, it's a work in progress and I'm sure these code artists will make it spank.
Finkeren Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Any suggestions from people on how to improve the LOD bubble issue? - Just expanding it is not a solution, because we are dealing with finite resources when it comes to rendering the scene. Gradations? That and greater concordance between the looks of the different grades. Right now there's just far too big a 'jump' between the color and brightness of the same texture rendered in different LoDs, especially forests. This is something I thing RoF got a pretty good hang of. The 'bubble' is there in that sim as well, but it's far less noticeable. Edited April 16, 2015 by Finkeren

It kinda looks like a monochrome blueish surface with high reflection. Water in RoF And some forced landing with dead engine (that was close, LOL) Edited April 16, 2015 by Ami
6./ZG26_Emil Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I like it, they look nicer than the ROF landscapes which I also like. The BOS ones seem a little more alive.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Omg navigable rivers, am I seeing things!!!!
BlueHeron Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Yeah, loved the water in RoF! Made the Channel Battles package even more enjoyable.

PA-Sniv Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 This works indeed for the blurry texture, but not for the trees generation bubble... Cheers, 1
Dakpilot Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 LoD bubble for trees in summer maps in RoF is not such an issue as in winter maps for BoS due to forest texture colour matching tree colour much more closely, hopefully this will also be more the case in BoS summer maps Cheers Dakpilot
LizLemon Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 This pic is from Rise of Flight if you need to compare. What kind of color grading are you using? Because I don't remember rof looking that garish.
Habu Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Maybe, it's because he use a screen from the autumn map.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I always thought the maps in ROF looked like pastel paintings. The WIP maps from BOS look much more realistic to me. Gotta love the two low angle shots of water and trees though. Stunning.
