Meanwhile, we're working on updating all the existing aircraft in the sim with the new visual models of the crew. ............................................ Another of the many questions we got recently after showing the video of the new terrain effect on the vehicles, is how the new detailed terrain roughness will affect the aircraft ............................................

HBB*Hunger 142 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Just saw the video! Looking great! Link to post Share on other sites
Avimimus 666 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Quick question: Will it be possible to drive the GAZ without a gun on it? Also... I'm quite excited to see the quality of modelling and I'm very curious how the anti-aircraft gun-sights will work. I'm kindof hoping that the modelling of the gun, when combined with things like the modelling of ranging errors for the tank gunners, will eventually improve the realism of anti-aircraft artillery AI and AI gunners on aircraft... that said, even if it doesn't - I'm sure whatever gets made will be fascinating. Also... that video does mean I will pay for an update to the U-2 which gives cargo loadouts! That said, I also kindof hope that farmer fields are a little bit flatter 😄 Edited December 4, 2020 by Avimimus 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
216th_Cat 1091 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 👍 Looking forward to trying out the off-piste landings 🙂. Link to post Share on other sites
352ndOscar 125 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Given the video, you folks had better give us a way to create and designate “landing grounds” that are somewhat smoother than somebodies cornfield..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
6FG_Big_Al 663 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Great to see the GAZ coming to life! Just preordered it and can't wait to test it, so keep up with the good work Link to post Share on other sites
DN308 217 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Is that means that make some deliveries with bigger planes (i.e A20B) would be quite impossible ? Link to post Share on other sites
JG51_Beazil 582 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 😲 That ground! That grass! That poor plane's struts! Looks amazing! Why does a part of me want to have a little avatar to run around this world you've created? Probably because it does look like a little world you've created. Thanks again team!

BladeMeister 749 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Looking good gents. I am assuming that the GAZ-MM with 72-K AA gun will not make it before Christmas, judging by these pictures, but that is ok because TC has captured my attention and there is a lot to do in it. The rough terrain modeling looks extremely good and I can'wait to try it out. Keep up the good work at 1C and Digital Forms!Oh and the riverbanks and surrounding river scenery looks phenomenal guys. Is this new or have I just missed this improvement??? S!Blade<>< Edited December 4, 2020 by BladeMeister Link to post Share on other sites
ZachariasX 2659 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Nice, in FC the bumpy terrain will be welcome as well. Really nice seeing this kind of constant progress despite the current situation. Kudos guys! I can't wait to drive on the other teams' airfield with the AAA truck.. Great job guys! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
RedKestrel 3663 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 This video reminded me I haven't tooled around in the U-2 for a while. I will have to amend that! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jokerBR 172 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) New terrain will help new FiF or BA/BS missions on FC where you must land to capture/rescue people. Edited December 4, 2020 by jokerBR 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ksetuni 19 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The water looks amazing. Makes me want to break out the kayak lol. Sadly it makes me long for more. I hope down the line we can get a PTO as im finding my love for this series in a whole new way. The water effects in pacific fighters was amazing, especially when on the deck in a b-25.

DBFlyguy 342 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Concerning the American and British pilots, it would be great if they be selected as a modification for applicable aircraft just like the female pilots are! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rjel 1712 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The new terrain looks to be very difficult to take off from. As it should be I’d think. Crash landings too look like they’ll be much more dangerous. Can’t wait to try both out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd second the U2 cargo haul too. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

=VARP=Tvrdi 503 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Great! Terrain rougness was missing in this sim so ppl just taxied outside the runway without difficulty. But I have a question for the team. Would this new physics and visuals of the terrain have any impact on the performance (on the hardware)? Link to post Share on other sites
No_Face 82 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I was happy that the plane took off at the end because I was not serene when it was on the ground. 😄 I was afraid he would break parts. 😬 Edited December 4, 2020 by No_Face Link to post Share on other sites
LLv44_Damixu 130 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I am a bit sceptic about these light AA-guns (20/25mm) usefulness due the reason of the short range and effectiveness to critically harm a plane at the distance is so low. I would like to see instead like calibres 40mm Flak28 and same medium AA-gun counterparts. Hopefully you will consider to develop also player operated heavy AAA, like 88 mm Flak36 and russian 75 mm. This would be interesting to have to make any meanigful impact and have enjoyable game play for there units. Link to post Share on other sites

The short range shouldn't be much of an issue as engagements tend to take place at fairly low altitudes in multiplayer, especially ground attack pilots making tree-top bombing runs. As for damage, with enough practice I reckon players will get good at knocking out engines and pilots. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Noisemaker 116 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Looking forward to U2 forward airbases! Those long flights, only to have my wingmates turn and head back home after the first waypoint really put a damper on a U2 career. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

IckyATLAS 704 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I loved the airplane video in rough terrain. Excellent to have the new crew visual models. Is the grass with see in the video the one we have in the game, or the one in the video is denser or different. Maybe it is an optical telephoto effect. Link to post Share on other sites
