Hi there! I thought I'd share with you some Images from IL-2 during the day before modding became available. I used to submit some work to screenshotart.com before it went down. All of these pics are about 6 years old from when I was 16. Of course, the best ones were uploaded to the site that went down, and were probably forever lost.
If somebody in here happens to know if an FTP or recovery site was made, please tell!
Oh and this is when 1024x768 was a high-end resolution
Anyways, here goes!
A first attempt at composite shot out my window at home in Norway:
An attempt to edit a pure screenshot and make things look more interesting:
Heres an attempt to enhance damage, tracer and muzzleflash effects:
And more damage effects. (Notice engine cowl and oil spills):
Also in B&W
Heres me adding tracersmoke, hit effects and engine max power exhaust:
Here is an old 23rd squadron I flew with. I always hated the sideview of IL-2 props:
Some more attempts at lighting and damage effects.. fuel vapor etc:
A mustang shredding a 109 with fearsome .50 API/T rounds. Oil splatter etc:
A P-36 gets it over France. This may look like curving smoketrail mod, but this is before mods, so photoshopped.
And here is something completely different!! :
I hand-drew this with a pencil in a Geography lesson Instead of I guess, learning why Norway is so mountanious and full of valleys because of the Glaciers and rivers carving the landscape after the ice meltet and made way for the ocean. I guess it's kind of Command And Conquer "Orca VTOL" inspired. This also, probably doesn't suit the designation "Fighter" :p
One thing I think is fun to see is that, this was my imagination BEFORE mods were out. And I tried to photoshop these images to how the game should look for realism and general visual improvement. The cool thing about this is that if you compare our HG&P mods and other neat additions, it's pretty much alike our modded IL-2!
Hope you enjoy!
