Is there any chance of having a few seconds of B/W footage of a target area in the briefing (maybe a track recording a flyby of the target?). I remember the sim B-17 II the mighty 8th that had this feature.

Probably final brief will looks by other way. It is just partially working model.

Just to let you know, some of your code is visible in the 'coding ships' image. Are you ok with that?!

Possible both

Thanks again Oleg.
I love updates like this as I really enjoy seeing the people behind the product.
Perhaps when you release SoW:BoB you can include a photo of the entire development team.

Very nice.

And we even got to see the BR-20 cockpit.

[Feuerfalke]

That's great - I was already looking forward to those insights, the place where SoW is born and the people behind the scene. Thanks for all working on it.

They even don't take the time to eat, drink or shave other than on their workstations - do they sleep in the office as well? Do they sleep at all?



The ship looks great in the water and the briefing looks very promising.


What do you think about the camera?

[AdMan]

will all the buildings be modeled rather than texture map with small amount of buildings?

will roads be detailed enough to see curbs, roadway markings, and textures like asphalt, brick, or cobblestone

Personally something irked me about the briefings. Of course the text is subject to change (would be strange if not), but from my POV it's a bit sparse for an environment that was already rather "thoroughly organized". For example I am missing information regarding waypoints, formation assembly (for bombers that's a must), altitude stuff, radio frequencies and callsigns, rendevouz points with fighter cover etc. Such things ...

Hi Oleg,

thanks for further update pictures

[Bearcat]

Great stuff... I like the pilot template that I saw... The more detailed briefings are great too.. I imagine that online wars etc would be even better in SoW because of the greatly expanded options.. Will the brief be interactive.. as in being able to scroll through multiple pages and such and if so is that something that the host would do on the server end or each individual user on their end.
