The trees look incredible from close !
Great job !

When can we have an estimation of the release date ?

I agree, it blew me away too! :grin: The trees are looking great now, good job. I always thought they were important, they are a defining characteristic of England, and I should know being that I live here lol. Worries are over now though, they really fit the bill, bravo!:grin:

Would be fun to see some animals in fields etc, didn't Oleg mention there would be some? Cows and sheep I think? This would be great as it makes for more of an immersive, living environment....not sure if I'm imagining he said it or not?

Hope so.:grin:

MikkOwl,
As it seems on the 4-th screenshot, the left engine of the Ju-88 is burning, and this is done by the Hurricane's machine-guns. Such big damage? I can not believe. The flames have to be scaled down. And, in my opinion, the flames have to be shorter in length. And I think that it is impossible, because of the high speed of the air blast, the smoke from the flame, to be in front of the flame. All I mean is: at first place fresh air jet, than bright flame and black smoke.

ONE MORE thing: The HIGHER the air speed - the BRIGHTER /white - yellow/ the flames should be, because of the increased constant OXYGEN supply at the flames. At slow speeds, the flames should be yellow-orange color.

The first cockpit shot is incredible.

End of discussion about trees !!! :) :)

On the 4th picture you are able to see a lot of detail:
the machine guns on the farest JU88,
the tail wheel from the Hurricane is also visible,
the gunsights on machine guns from the closest JU88.

This kind of detail is great to see, absolutely setting a new standard.

As someone else mentioned, this is dependent on whether the fuel tanks rupture or not after being penetrated by those smaller shells.
Does anyone know for sure that this wouldn't happen?

Really nice shots!

1st and 4th are my favourites in this bunch.

Dear Oleg, please marry me. :P Greatest details and moreover... Thanks.

Btw, hope all of you guys are ok.

I am so anxious and excited thinking of how pleasurable it will be to fly down low over the countryside and how much this will add to groundpounding.
Thank you for a great update.

Those images are just too awesome for words! Yes, end of the trees discussion. Maybe the end of the flame discussion?

One thing I would love to see implemented is the ability to zoom in on the instrument panel. For engine management, it is critical and I was spoiled with MSFSX and X-Plane. I can find no way to really do it in IL-2.

The other thing....when? :)
