Ofp early early beta screenshots?

Recommended Posts

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?

There were two early versions of the OFP-engine that you could download. One version from 96(rio grande) and another from 97(Poseidon)...

I have them both but I dont remeber were I got them from.

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

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)

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.

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
