I found a little something that i thought was pretty cool. Thought i would share it with you guys. Might be of some interest someday to the developers as well...

Can u imagine if SoW ended up looking like this:

That's one cool 360 panning system Tacoma! Maybe in 2050 (when I'm pushing up daisies lol) this will be the flight sim norm with VR headsets hehe. I can only get Vsync when going to full screen view for some reason, looks great though. :grin:

its gonna be close...

Well, IMHO, from what we have seen so far, , and by putting togheter the best screens attributes and the fabulous "cockpit video", I am confident that we will have a pretty photorealistic game in the end....At least for the cockpits....It will be very close to what we see in your exemple...:rolleyes:

Salute !

Cool 360 viewer... but what's the golfer at 5 o'clock doing on the airfield? LOL.

Don't know about the golfer but what a beautiful restoration. Only one problem - someone on the team can't spell!

That would be the flight maniac.
:-) he he.

Actually it could be where two photos have been spliced to form part of the panorama..with a missing letter (and a few other adjoining pixels) as a result. You can see a jagged edge on the slot just below the misspelt word..

There were two main types of ammunition for the MK 108 to use, a 30 mm high-explosive self-destroying tracer ("M-Shell" or "Mine-Shell") and a 30 mm incendiary shell. The first type was designed to cause a maximum blast effect by combining a very thin shell casing with the maximum load of explosive. Tests carried out at Rechlin (where most of the Luftwaffe aircraft and weapons tests were done) showed that with a "M-Shell" with 85 grains of explosive, five hits could destroy a B-17 or B-24 bomber. The second type of shell, the incendiary, was meant to be targeted at the fuel tanks of the enemy plane. Since some penetrating force was still needed to overcome the armor or airframe of the target, and not have the shell break up or explode upon contact, a hydrodynamic fuse was fitted so that the shell only exploded once it came into contact with liquid.

You don't have to shout boy!,... :mrgreen: :wink:
Almost another friday, thank God...

Well spotted Major I do believe you could be right.

It doesnt explain the missing "T" from carburettor.

:)

KG26-Alpha is obviously another hawk-eye. But I think you'll find that in the USA they spell carburettor with only one "t".

It could be a restoration faithful to the original factory misspelling...
