Cameni, could you take few screen shots of the cliffs of Dover. I really wonder how that is rendered by the engine.

MUCH appreciated.

[cameni]

I would really appreciate if you saved me some time and provided the coordinates and viewing direction of the location you want to see.

Please use Google Earth or something similar, and write down the longitude & latitude of the spot where you want the camera to be located, along with the viewing direction. Providing the preferred altitude is also welcome

[|ZUTI|]

Hehe, silly me, forgot about those. Ah well, will this do?



Alts: 0m and one at 1km

Just want to see how this engine renders cliffs compared to this thread http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22249

[cameni]

The cliffs will need a higher horizontal resolution data, because currently the engine only knows that at one place the elevation is 0, and ~76 meters inland the terrain is 100 meters high. At the moment it can only deduce that there's a slope going from 0 to 100 for 76m, so it doesn't look entirely like a cliff now.

In case you wanted to compare for yourself real life vs in game rendering, check out this website that shows pictures of the entire California coast.

The gentle slopes of Dover sounds more appealing anyway. It is going to come down to community adjustment. As problematic as that may be, in the long run no team of developers could properly adjust every square inch of terrain to match its real world counterpart in the resolutions you are dealing with here.

On that subject, I was just thinking that you should be able to either save previous data or backups in sections or something for at least a little while so that if some jackass does majorly screw something up, you can roll back just that area to before it got screwed up or back to the default dataset if there aren't any backups per request.  Of course we don't really know how the antigriefing measures will work yet since it's so early.

Thank you cameni.

I don't worry too much as when you show pictures of mountains... very very nice job. And this new flight sim from my link, well, as far as I was able to tell, it uses 3d objects as cliffs. Go figure.

Wow!!! It's amassing accuracy of terrain!!!  
But how I see cities dose not so accuracy.
And I spouse trees will be a real objects and grass will be

What about a picture from the front of Table Mountain please. About -33.889655, 18.414888 from google maps. Looking south.
And also -33.931499, 18.871167 looking NW 30m from the ground. It is Simonsberg looking from my university residence. Can post a photo to compare. Thank you in advance!

[ZeosPantera]

I've got a good one..

ROUGHLY  39°54'16.39" N  25°04'28.67" E Looking the same orientation as this.. WSW



It will make for some good publicity depending on the result.

There's also a faint outline of the distant islands visible also in GE.
Funny how the Arma3 picture makes it all look larger

A short flight over the battlegrounds of arma3.

lol, very nice.
