Airwolf 50 Posted April 15, 2002 I remember seeing some early early maybee even alpha version screen shots of ofp, the people looked way different, the screen layout was different, the hud looked odd and was in a different place and their early version of the cobra was black, does anyone know where i can get these early early early screenshots of ofp?

canukausiuka 1 Posted April 15, 2002 http://www.flashpoint.ru/screens/images/74.jpg Is is just me, or do the explosions look better in this than they do in the game now? They look like they have some transparency, I'm used to seeing opaque explosions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceAlex 0 Posted April 15, 2002 Hm. This explosion looks better than todays explosions. This one looks like an apache. BIS secrets i guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheriff 0 Posted April 16, 2002 Had to dig right down into the News Archive for these. Rio Grande This was one of the first playable builds. It's not more than a test made in the early years of BIS (1996). You get to fly an F-14 around a very small river valley. The controls are very simplistic and it has no collision detection what so ever Right Alt' to bring up a menu where you can set resolution and various other GFX options http://www.gamez.cz/file/demo_g/1996_Rio_Grande.zip Poseidon This build is somewhat more recent (1997). You fly a Cobra attack helicopter around a much bigger map. Even though you can tell the graphics have been improved alot since Rio Grande, it still doesnt look near as good as OFP does today Press 'F12' to increase the resolution (higher resolutions will run slower) http://www.gamez.cz/file/demo_g/1997_Dawn_of_Flashpoint.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Toolman 1 Posted April 16, 2002 You're right, the explosions looks better in the beta version, The explosions in the complete version sucks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loki278912 0 Posted April 17, 2002 alot of stuff looksbetter than it does now. the player model of tha guy landing on the beach with the LST in the background looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted April 18, 2002 Im not sure if the explosions were better... The might look good in the screenshots, but im sure that in action they would look pretty much crap, as those beta explosions seem just to be billboarded, animated textures, and thus they would propably look flat and ugly in motion. The current explosions are particle based and are much more "3D" than those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airwolf 50 Posted April 18, 2002 Hey, thanks for all the screenshots, i figured since i play the game and i really love it i should know its history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antichrist 0 Posted April 18, 2002 Actually why not make current explosions a different colour like in Napalm addon? The will still be 3D but gonna look much better Cause the colour that we have now is not really realistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airwolf 50 Posted April 18, 2002 i wonder... that dawn of flashpoint has an interesting world to fly in.. those buildings and it has bridges... would the wrp file work in current ofp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
