1C Game Studios revealed what you can expect from the countryside in terms of visuals in its upcoming Korean War Flight Simulator Korea: IL-2 Series.
The flora has a whole different level of fidelity compared to the developer’s previous games.
There are different types and heights of grass depending on the location. Trees have a brand-new lighting system. Their anopies let light through, and are illuminated not only from the sunny side but also from the opposite side with diffused light.
Forests in Korea are also denser, while bushes and rocks also use new tech, and a new approach to the texturing of road shoulders and riverbanks has been implemented.
You can check out the results below and read more on the official blog post.

We also have the first gameplay reveal, a look at the gun effects, some interesting animations for the artillery units that will be implemented in the game, the model for the Lavochkin La-11 piston fighter and its cockpit, and a look at the ground vehicles and their destruction.
We also have a video focusing on engine sounds and a rather spectacular look at the visual damage modeling, one on the cities, and one on the control options.
If you’re unfamiliar with the IL-2 series, it’s a combat flight simulation series that debuted all the way back in 2001 with IL-2 Sturmovik, set on the Eastern Front of World War II.
At that time, it was very innovative among combat flight simulators and provided a lot of interesting features in a genre that was already starting to drop out of the AAA field into a much smaller niche. It also included a rather advanced multiplayer suite for the time.
