I had asked in the past again, but it was too early, so here I am again:

Will it be possible to add skins in an already exist track, so you can handle it for movies?

Just a first impression about pilots: I think we could get some better faces.

Edit: By the way, I do realize that pilot's faces are not of much importance (actually I almost don't care about how they look).

Will we will still be able to use pictures of ourselves like in IL2 and will there be a few basic templates for the shape of a pilot's face.. ? I always thought that that was one of the cool things about IL2.. and when I would show people screenshots with my face in the cockpit it was something they always were impressed with.. I can't imagine 1C goung backwards with any of this stuff..

Lighting- Oleg will there be ambient street light as well.. like from street lamps shining on the ground and if so will they automatically go on at dusk... ?

Objects specifically buildings - Will we be able to modify any objects.. like this (Note banner on building) :

(I hope that screenshot doesn't offend you.. if it does I apologize and will remove it..)
I remember asking you about this for IL2 a while back in ORR but at the time it was not doable.

The lighting effects are simply stunning. This may have been asked already but will we be able to have reflection maps on metal like this:

All great stuff .. thanks for the updates.. Fridays are getting better and better..

Hello Oleg,

I am blown away by the screenshots - amazing !!
The pilots are great, can't wait to see the German version. This is without doubt going to be the most amazing WW2 sim ever done - wow!

Now I have a question about radar - since this played a very important role in the outcome of the battle, and you have mentioned several times you would implement it.

I guess when I fly a bomber/fighter mission to Britain the engine will calculate in some way how and if I am detected by radar - and will then decide to scramble intercept flight against me. Does the engine calculate "probabilities" to find me? And can I avoid radar detection, for example by flying very low?

Wen we posted on different forums requests - we wasn't able to get the full info. And in books there is so different info. So probably your good finding here

So, I'm going to clear up my PM. Its again 100% full

Your a popular guy. PM me whenver you want the information. There are books I could recommend, they'd have full lists of the kit worn and used, but they are expensive

Notice about pilot faces.
It will be customizable. USer will be anle to use own. However it is more complex now to make own face mapped on 3D model, becasue it is more detailed.
There will be probably several face types and user, who want to replace the skin may select the face and put there new skin.
However once more, now it is more complex work of user.

Well, not that I swing that way, but I estimated him to be a somewhat handsome chap. XD

If you'll scan some images for us it will be cool, becasue to find and order these book will take enough time... probably they my arrive when we'll finish work and then changes will be simply impossible.
