Is that a black pall of smoke in the background of screenshot 3? Would it be from a bombed target or aircraft?

Thanks a lot for the answers! Looking forward to be blown away :)

This is getting better and better and better and better!
I think that even our highest expectations will be surpassed by miles in every aspect!!! :grin:

Thank you so MUCH Oleg, Luthier and the whole team!!!

Just as most of us I'll need a miracle to find the money to do SOW justice :( once it is out.
But hey, you're magicians, right? :grin: :grin:

Amazing as always.

The textures are DDS format with mips (which are a set of smaller and smaller versions of the same texture - for those, who don't know), the graphics engine selects a certain mip depending on the size of the object, or distance to it. This is adjusted by graphics settings of the game and the video driver. Theoretically, you may switch off mip-map use and have only highest resolution textures everywhere in game. Offcourse, if your HW will be able to swallow it. :grin:

Thank Oleg and luthier!!

And there was me thinking I'd imagined it ;)

The image with the shot up Hurricane has got me wondering, if a pilot is PK'ed will they visibly slump in the cockpit???

Cheers and thanks for the great update!

Please! I deleted those for a reason.

Sorry, gone now.
