Never heard of it. ED normally uses their own home-grown tech for their home-grown engine.

 

it's more of a technique, not a tech you would buy in. it's related to ray-tracing, but instead of using it for actual rendering and therefore tracing from light source to camera, just a few rays get marched through the volume (cloud) only to determine brightness of the cloud.

 

There are some games out already with extremely nice looking clouds, that use some form of raymarching. One particularly fine looking example even on console.

Also that new Microsoft aviation game will use it too...

 

That being said: The screenshot from ED looks very, very promising - regardless of the tech they use. I'm just curious how they do it...

Wow, never seen that screen before. The clouds look amazing!

 

Indeed

This weekend's news is great! It is hoped that by the end of the month, the F / a18c's aiming pod will have subordinate functions and be able to hang on the air inlet

 

You wont see the Litening Pod on the check station, that'll be the ATFLIR when we get it.

New multiple layer clouds thats I want to see in the screenshot and I wish we could have real world wheater at some point. If its ever implemented I probably could have waste my time flying around and dont mind without shooting and bombing

Yes, and with more maps

And cloud types too!

 

Would be great if turbulence effects could also be modeled associated with the convective ones...

 

Localized rain is also good, although it was already possible when using advanced ( High and Low areas dynamic ) weather ?

It is. It's actually quite trivial to create if you know how the system works. The problem is that the toolset for creating it in-editor is non-existent — it all has to be done using external tools.

 

 

Hence why I'm so quick on harping on about why the toolset is more important than the effect itself. ;)

Great point. A toolset within the ME is very much needed for custom weather. I'm sure ED will provide something useful.

Annnnnd you can forget any money for the Carrier. More ‘later in EA’ nonsense. Finish it. Then ask me for money.

 

Good choice. Those that cannot "hack" early access and what it entails are indeed better off waiting until the final product is out. :thumbup:

How long it will be in EA 2 years 3 Years maybe 5, how many another EA modules release before finishing F18. So what will be next SC and f18 dev again move to SC module. Now in stable they add F16 and F18 still have no crucial features (A/G radar, TWS , pod hud symbology ). So when we can expect "final product" before Hind or after P-47.

I think you have made your point quite clear about you thoughts on EA, no need to keep posting about, especially when it's clearly offtopic here, if you continue to do this, we will have to start handing out warnings. We have let is slide plenty now.

 

Please take a moment to review the rules, and if it's not clear, feel free to PM a moderator.

The lighting of the F16 will arrive next week. Does this mean that the 3D model will be the final version?
