PD: Mr Oleg and company
All the pictures are incredible future simulator
thank you very very much for the great work

This decade?

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."I'd guess Storm of War will stay leading for quite a while.

Il-2 was introduced back in 2001, and we are still playing it, and it's still being upgraded over and over, previously by 1C:Maddox Games, and now by Team Daidalos. If you check the schedule, they plan to release the last update to Il-2 in mid-2011.

That's 10 years. Considering Storm of War is being made to surpass Il-2 in every possible way, and they engine is made to be very flexible (just take as an example that the next planned sim will be jets over Korea), and - a big plus - it will be friendly to modifications, I have no doubt that Storm of War will be around for at least 15 or 20 years :mrgreen:

Love the tache (moustache) seems to make him look more authentic for some reason.

The Airman with the handbag, to me his flying suit looks more like this:

Luftwaffe Sommerfliegerkombi - Superb original example of the second pattern with ring pull emergency release system and vertical zip fly. Manufactured by Bekleidungsfabrik Habelf and dated 1940. Fitted with original Elite zips, complete with leather pullers, all in good working order. The size is marked as 11A. The "pepper and salt" fabric is characteristic of suits worn by bomber crews in the Battle of Britain. This suit is in the condition we dream of finding but seldom do!

and less like this:

C22454 BRITISH RAF "SIDCOT" FLIGHT SUIT. The Sidcot flight suit was invented by Australian born, Sydney Cotton, hence Sid Cot, who moved to Britain in 1910 and then later joined the Royal Naval Air Force, in 1916. From his experience as a pilot, he and his colleagues felt that they were always cold or uncomfortable. Thus in 1917, he then invented a flying suit made of cotton which was lined with silk and fur known as the Sid Cot. It later became the standard equipment for the Royal Flying Corps and remained in use throughout the Second World War. This Sidcot flight suit is in good condition, with sign of wear. The original tag is in the interior of the left side beside the front zipper. It is quite faded however, you can read; height 5 ft 8", Breast 36/38, waist 32/34. All of the other information is somewhat legible, however, some information is completely faded. There are a number of buttons on the interior, meant to attach the liners, and they are all in good condition and intact. The exterior is quite ingenious since it as a series of different pockets and buttoned flaps which enables the pilot to access the interior quickly without having to take the suit off. The suit is quite stained since it was obviously well used. Some of the stitching is quite worn, especially on the exterior where the button flaps are located. Otherwise, this suit is in great condition.

Fantastic Oleg. :)
Most of the older iconic buildings in London at that time where covered in black grime with streaks from the rain also,this is because practically all heating was with open fires using black coal..

10 years is probably more like it, let's not be unrealistically optimistic..

Unfortunately not.

Thanks for the update Oleg and team. The detail you are putting into this sim is incredible. Keep up the good work. :grin:

According to Wikipedia -and its sources, a book by some Brian Cookson- the Tower Bridge was chocolate brown till the 1970s...

The big coat of arms in the upper pass was also added later, should not be there.

That's incorrect In fact the shields are missing from the upper walk way either side of the crest equidistant from the towers.

The metal work on the bridge was reddish brown, and the lamps dark green. as were most thing in those days it was a common colour scheme :)

Also see the vid posted earlier in this thread and you see a 40's Tower bridge the same colour as the 1cTeams at approx 3 mins in.

The "coat of arms" can be seen on both these films .
