This is year 2011, so these visuals are OK... but not impressive.
I've been following screenshots updates for many, many months... I honestly can't see what is so new in these 2 videos - that we haven't seen so far in update screens ?
This is brand new project... and should look much better than moded "Il-2 1946" but, except dynamic lightning and cockpit graphics, it is not the case.
Simulation feeling will be great, Oleg is master, number 1 in that field... but I was expecting better, more realistic clouds and ground visuals...
Just my calm analyses... nothing more - nothing less...
( no need to start the third wolrd war by fan-boys... or forum "inquisition" cry: to ban the member who dared to analyse the presentation )

Please no comparisons to Wings of Prey, it's TOTALLY NOT a proper comparison. They are on different ends of the spectrum in terms of what type of game they are. THey share the WWII theater .. that's the only similarity they have.
The terrain colours have been debated to death in here, some like it, some don't. Mods and graphic settings will be able to change the hue and saturation so keep that in mind.
This is also a new engine, version 1.0...IL-2 has gone through 9 years of post development that has brought it to where it is today. The same thing will happen with this engine, but it will take time to polish the most intricate details. Growing with the times is easier than releasing a game nobody can play because their systems are just too slow.
I respect your opinion of course, but yes it is 2011 and no high fidelity flight simulation has ever produced photo real graphics in a combat environment. DCS, Rise of Flight and Cliffs of Dover are all arguably inferior graphics wise to HAWKS, Apache Air Assault and Wings of Prey. <--- all of which are also console games.
If it could be done, it would be done...bottom line.
