This gets better and better. I still find it funny that after all those years of near non-stop support, people doubt the capabilities of this team. I mean, it's perfectly ok not to be a total fanboy and have an opinion, or even to come out and say "i don't like this and this, could you do it a bit better?", but saying that they can't do it is a bit off the mark, especially given how they continuously lay everyone's doubts to rest.
Last week everyone was up in arms about the trees, then people posted photos confirming that they are in fact looking realistic, along with an explanation about zooming that messes with their scaling (the two main criticisms). And then, this update comes and i guess nobody will complain about trees anymore. They look so good i was expecting to see birds and squirrels among the branches (maybe i should stop now, before someone picks this up and runs wild with new ideas about excessive wildlife details
)
In the shot of the flaming Ju88 i realy like the fact that it looks like there's a high pressure jet on the engine nacelle feeding the fire (the high-temerature bright yellow/white coloured part). Trees are perfect in those shots with the Blenheims. Also, while the map window looks a bit too much like taken straight from the FMB (maybe it's not final), i think the scroll-bars are useful. Not to mention the fact that the map seems to pack an awful lot of detail, registering the shapes of every little forest in the area. Coupled with the improved terrain, it will make navigating really fun.
And of course, the in-cockpit shot. Oh-my-god, excuse me while i look around the floor trying to find and re-attach my jaw to my skull
First of all, be safe (with the fires and all, although i heard that you finally got some rain and temperatures will drop after a brief heatwave during the weekend) and keep up the good work, we can hardly wait for it.
P.S. In the shot where the Hurrican overtakes the Ju88, i think the Hurri is streaming some kind of vapor...fuel leak? And look at the amount of detail on the radiators of those Jumo engines, it's just crazy.
