The pilot in the first Hurricane screenshot is not wearing a flight helmet which makes him appear smaller.

Great update!

Love the shot of the Hurricane in front of the hangars. Is it my imagination or is the lettering and roundels on the hurri sharper than earlier updates? The white bird 'logo' on the Heinkel is quite blurry in contrast.

Damage effects are looking great too esp the torn, deformed skin of the Heinkel. Flak hit?

BTW I'm not impressed that the midget pilot's hair isn't blowing in the prop wash :P

One contributing factor is that the distant trees aren't casting shadows.

They weren't called "the Brylcreem boys" for nothing ;)

Well I suppose it depends on the level of your expectations.
I'd be more than happy if the final product looked like this.
If every aspect of the sim was 'photo-realistic', I doubt many people would ever see it due to hardware restrictions.
Just my opinion.

Am curious to know how/why this particular Hurricane (the one with the small pilot) was chosen. The real Hurricane s/n L1833 came to a sad end on 3 October 1940 when it collided with another Hurricane on a training flight. Both pilots were killed. See, http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=16274

The detail in design, right down to historically accurate serial nos. is impressive.

Good luck trying to aim being that high in the cockpit. See the gunsight?

The pilot in the photo is sitting up. He's not strapped in.

Our pilot has his eyes aligned with the gunsight.
