Nice and promising video. Clouds are gorgeous, and they account for 50% of the immersion imho. The dynamic shadows add realism to the beautiful cockpit. The whole sequence gives an overall impression of "being there", immersion looks promising. Water cannot be commented, too distant, but the white breakers are fine.
It seems that the antialiasing is not yet in, looking at the canopy frame.

All in all: I believe that SoW will be a masterpiece, a milestone in the sector.

Luthier and crew, keep up the good work, and stop your bad habits, like sleeping at night and not working during weekends!

Bye,
insuber

Please.

Maby "experts" could do a advanced aerobatics session in +200Mph amongst clouds and then come back complaining about exessive bufferting, jeeze, some of u people just have to complain no matter what!?

Unbeliveble.

S!

Not being a "jeez expert", but done some 1.6M flying at 13km and 1090km/h at 600m ;D :D

And iv done 850Km/h at 24K, so whats your point ;)


Im pretty sure there isnt a singel person in theese boards that have done what is shown in that Spit vid.


100% sure infact.



My point is: why not enjoy the FIRST SoW in flight video EVER, i mean what the hell is the problem?? (Not asking u in perticullar)


I for one enjoyed the hell out of it and i feel for thoose who cant.

isnt the shaking in oleg's clip only when the plane is near stall speed ? looking at the rpm meter the power setting is very low. depending on airflow and turbulence it could be shaking that much ?

Great video !! The best update we ever had !!

One question for Mr. Luthier, the pilot: could you post the specs of the computer you were using to fly? The video plays very smooth, no FPS shown.

Keep the good work up, 1C Guys, we are your followers !! :shock::shock::shock:

mmmm...yes, the trademark spitfire green and black interior paint has undoubtedly been compromised in favor of a flaky, muted paint job that for all intents and purposes makes the cockpit gunmetal. It looks good on screen but I cant help but to harken back to a certain WoP thread in which similar "cinematic effects" had a good 50% of this board stark raving mad.

unless the colors are washed out simply from capture and compression, but it doesn't appear that is the case.

Really enjoyed the video....fantastic work guys. Thanks for keeping us updated. Little things like this from time to time make all the difference.:grin:

This project has got to be THE most complex piece of PC gaming software to date. I'm pretty sure no other development studio would lavish such care and attention to detail and realism as Oleg and his team have.

I really want to see 1C make a decent profit from this venture and go on to make more great sims in future. Developing something like this over so many years is a huge financial burden. We've all seen how the smaller (better) software houses can get into trouble and are taken over by the big players. Then everything goes down hill. Look what happened to Falcon.

To the 1C team: many of us devoted flight sim fans would happily pay for additional content released shortly after the main title. Just little things like an additional navigation aid or more complex cockpit controls for a particular aircraft may not take as long to develop as a major update but will get many of us pretty excited and at the same time give us a chance to support 1C and it's future developments. I realise you need to keep the price of the main title competitive but to me it just doesn't seem adequate reward for all the effort you guys have expended on this.

Thanks again for all your efforts...without 1C the future of WWII flight sims would indeed be bleak. Please think about ways the community can help fund future develpments of this title through more regular purchases. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has spent far far more on flight gear than on the actual software title. It seems wrong really.

Those complaining about the washed out cockpit and lack of contrast between green and black coloring, pls check one of the earlier update screenshots at Foo.bar's site.

You can see that in this vid you simply don't see those parts were this contrast is clearly visible. I think the weathering is realistic for a plane spending even just months in combat situation, many hours under sun, etc. I definitely would not expect a look what you get when taking a picture with flash inside a pristine restored plane.

This gonna be an awesome sim. Excellent job.

Lovely eye opening video. Thanks.
