philip im pretty sure if the oxygen tank was hit, the pilot would be out of the fight :) but if you mean the tubes connecting the tank...then maybe.

I think it's been mentioned somewhere before that hypoxia and the use of oxygen masks (eg, having a key to toggle wearing the mask) will be modelled, as an optional difficulty setting.

I've heard of forums which have filters set to delay the publishing of any 'First p0st!!!11' replies by twelve hours... or which give short bans to users who post the stupid things :-)

The shots are looking awesome. Should probably start budgeting for a new PC about now!

pic5 - the falling guy is looking very upset, maybe because he can't find his ripcord? Or did German parachutes of WW2 not use ripcords...

Or maybe he's realised the thigh-straps of the parachute harness are too slack and when the 'chute does deploy, there will be severe pain in sensitive areas? :-p

Hi guys again.
I taught a lot, why the pilot legs do not reach the ruder pedals in Ju-88...
After all hard work, I have got 2 possible reasons.
Possible reasons:
1. It is because the Ju-88 model is wrong, and the ruder pedals are too far away from the pilot.
2. The pilot model is small - we have a kid in to the cockpit.

How this can be fixed:
1. Elongation of the pilot legs? NO! /not in Oleg's style!/
2. Bringing the ruder pedals closer to the pilot? NO! /not in Oleg's style!/

Knowing the precision of work of Oleg's team over the aircraft models, I am sure for just one thing:
We have a kid into the cockpit. This conclusion confirms that the pilot figure is TOO SMALL, as everybody mentioned many many many times.

Your conclusion is probably incorrect. Oleg mentioned that the figures are large enough for the time. In a Hurricane screenshot it was mentioned that the pilot appeared to low in the cockpit and the developers said that they mistakenly had the figure in a reclining position. Maybe this was also true in the screenshot your referring too.

They just have forgotten to slide the seat in the flight position.
By OM's realism ideas that will be a topic in the pre-flight check list:
"Seat in flight-position and arrested."
"Safety-belts tightened"
and if you have forgotten the position "parachute harness tightened"
you will get a surprise after bail-out. :-D

No Chivis it's Douglas Bader in their on his way back home after escaping from the Luft Stalag in that stolen 88. Unfortunately he was in such a rush he forgot to put on his legs.

The figures might be slightly on the small side. Especially if you compare side-to-side with that sreenshot luthier posted of the old Il2 Ju 88.

I'm sure it is something they have noted. I wouldn't call it a fault though, I'm sure there are far more important issues for the development team to contend with.
I'm sure his hands won't always be on the yoke either, at least not in exterior view (maybe the feet are in a usual position for sitting).
And in real life you probably wouldn't see through the plexi-glass so clearly.

Photo not showing much at all :-)

IL-2 figures are about 20% larger, then an average human. They are something like 2 m tall. BoB figures are about 1.7m. Since you all got used to the IL-2 look, you feel BoB guys are too small, which is not the case, actually.
