Wait a minute!!!!!!! There are girls there! I feel the need to.retire my pipe, slippers.and beard!
I thought girls were notoriously bad at reading maps! Does this mean they may not be accurate as they will be laid out so they make sense and contain all the major shopping centres but none of that military stuff you 'boys' cackle on about!
Got to say though, it looks like Scicily will be modelled next? I mean, it looks like a shoe ;)

(All of the above is irony. Just in-case!)

Better video and I think this should have been the launch video.

Cheers, MP

Going a bit off tangent; I noticed a Sea Vixen poster in the background. I wonder what it is doing there as, pretty as the Sea Vixen was, it never took part in any major actions so can't be an indicator of any new theatres being looked at. Perhaps he just likes it.

If I want to be paranoid maybe I should be asking 'What secret did they put that random poster up to cover?' :-)

I saw that too, Hoping they model it one day, my dad flew them.

Hello everyone,

Many of you have been really waiting for it, so here it is!

We’re showing the new EDGE landscape engine today, and meeting the people working on it.

Please keep in mind that the Normandy terrain is in the very earliest stages of development. The terrain engine itself is very mature, but is missing some features needed for a proper WWII simulation. So that’s where we started our terrain design.

We are using the famous Pointe du Hoc location to test everything we need: bunkers, trenches, and bomb craters. We are doing that with a few simple placeholders and a few low-res textures.

Our Normandy still needs most of the French 1940s buildings, airfield structures, and proper French countryside textures. All of those, while time consuming, are no-brainers at this point. Making and placing objects, or texturing terrain, are the kind of tasks the team has done before while making landscapes for helicopter and pilot training simulators. Once we have our bunkers and craters done and tested, the rest of the project is rather routine.

Unfortunately, as the other landscapes done in EDGE were done as commercial projects, we are unable to show any part of that terrain. Normandy is the only thing we can show, and it is clearly nowhere near finished.

We are also not at the stage where planes can fly over Normandy. We really tried to have a Mustang in a Normandy field today, but ran into some issues, and decided not to delay the video for it. Once we have those tests done, we’ll definitely release those shots.

With that in mind, here’s the video:

Are those images anywhere in a higher resolution?

From memory, Luthier said that all screenshots were from the world creator and not from the game engine. That should be taken into account when looking at them.

Cheers!

Hope so!
I was never really impressed with the landscape in DCS and I really hope the landscape in the pictures above will not in any way be considered for the final product. Looks like deafult landscape from European Air war.
Great FMs must come with good graphics! ;)

I don't know how many time Ilya said in the video these are very very very early WIP, low res, and not the final or near the final product. So with that said why even ask the above question. You know it is not the end product or even close.
