I seriously doubt IL is a fake, but still a bit chocking wow.gif Nice discovery, however, peacemaker.

Could be photoshopped but those choppers surely aren't fakes wink.gif. And isn't there that another screenshot in VBS site where you can see similar water effects, the one with that civilian boat?

*EDIT* Here's the pic:

Hi all

I think the pic by IL was probably jimied at the time it is a marketing pic after all. Allthough it could be that they used an algorithm for the water in IL that is based on the marine's picture. Such an fractal algorithm could show similar effects.

As to water effects that is out of date compared with stuff available in particle effects such as the the dust clouds from helicopters, and burning tanks not to mention this great pic I saw of the copter over the boat with spindift over the boat and a wonderfull chopy water effect all caused by the downwash of the copter. Of course it might be jimied too but it does not take away from the fact it is serious eye candy.

Look here at Screenshot for week 53

Your finding is interesting as an historical example of marketing but it only predicts what the finished product will look like and indeed has allready been surpassed.

Kind Regards Walker

Thanks for your email....

All I can tell you is great progress is happening and please don't loose

faith in this project, many things have changed with it but only for the

better. There will be a bigger and better forum in the very near future, and

many other things. I'm sure when the time comes you will know what I'm

talking about.

Take Care

Regards

David<span id='postcolor'>

MFL,

So he means a new forum replacing this one? An IL forum? Doesn't make sense if IL is just an upgrade like Resistance. Doesn't make sense if he means an OFP2 forum, if OFP2 is to be released in Q2 2004 and he's talking about "a very near future". Hmm... If IL isn't just an upgrade like Resistance... wow.gif

Me neither, and I'm patient, just curious. They didn't make a new forum for Resistance, and I don't see any reason why to make a new forum for IL if IL is an upgrade like Reistance. That's why I'm thinking it might be something bigger than an upgrade wink.gif Seems weird too, as that unannounced product is coming in Q2 2004 and David mentioned "in the very near future". Don't think two completely new games are coming out that quick. So maybe they are going to launch a new forum for IL. Whatever happens is awesome. smile.gif

It was actually in reference to Operation Vietnam a mod that was started way before CWC was out, i was e-mailing him about how th esite had not been updated and the forumms where nowhere to be seen and that was his responce.

btw i love how people jump to conclusions, as a side not David is the IL web Designer.
