Those clouds and the F86 look awesome!

This one was great! Thanks team!

The Sabre looks and sounds really good! and those clouds... are they new? 😁

[MAJORgoonMADLOU]

Same question. Are those clouds new? Also, the Sabre looks great. Can't wait!

 

Will there be a playable Mig-15?

[Avimimus]

Details like the pop-out landing lights are pretty neat!

The Mig-15Bis was announced. I don't know if the Mig-15 will appear - it was mainly flown by Chinese supplied units towards the end of the war. But the improved Mig-15Bis  is definitely going to be flyable.

This is some proper Sabre-rattling.

[Trooper117]

The right stuff, this one... looking good.

Woulda been nice to have a variant with the all moving tailplane... and whats with the lighting turning the white paint yellow? Looks pretty terrible and not very natural, and the rest doesn't look that much improved over GB.

Give them a break.  This is still a work in progress.  Far from being released.

Wow I think this looks way better than GB imo. Not really getting the naysayers on this stuff when they post it. Clouds look great too. 

[GOA_Karaya_VR]

God please forgive me, the graphics and textures looks kind better than what we have on Gb. 

 

But i dont know its is me, it still looks like Great Battles in the background.

It's still a test map, guys. 🙂 When it's not we'll let you know.

I think the aircraft and the lighting look grossly improved, and this is the first Korea video where I've felt impressed by what I'm seeing. The landscape still looks GB-tier though, but now we know it's just a test environment so...

 

One thing I'd really like to see in motion is an aircraft, or set of, at varying distances.

[JG27*PapaFly]

I've been really looking forward to this update! With its compact design and clean lines, I count the Sabre among the most beautiful planes ever built. In Germany we have a saying: if it looks good, it flies well!

And your model is stunning! That skin looks alive, I really like the stressed skin effects and the different shades of the various panels. The steel plate at the business end of the guns looks great, too. Can't wait to take it out for a ride along the Yalu river!

They look nice.

I seem to recall the early Sabers having a composite nose that was unpainted in many cases, painted white in others. If you look close in those shots where it looks yellowish, the white on the insignia looks white, so it is probable that these are depicting the unpainted plexy/fiber glass nose, or whatever material they used.

At the moment its the clouds pattern from GB, but combined with new ray-tracing atmosphere volume shading system. Later we will develop new clouds patterns for the Korea.

Good stuff!  I can't wait! A Korean flight sim  is SORELY needed!  (But I'm sure you guys know that 😀)

Be interesting to see how Korea runs in VR.  Visual fidelity seems nice.  With Il2 currently, the fidelity isn't there to fly VR without aids as one can not as easily define what is what compared or even close to real world vision.

It isn't a render res thing either, I think it is just the way things are rendered in game and pixelation due to the limits of the current render engine.  Korea seems to notch things up quite a bit going by that Sabre vid which leads to my opening sentence.

I think VR in the current GB is great and I just have a I5-12600 cpu and 4070 gpu with a Reverb g2.

very nice! I’m guessing it is too early to get a look at the cockpit?
