He said the trees and stuff were not in the city, right in the first post.

Very good point, and one that is greatly appreciated! Also, thank you for the beautiful Hurricane shots!

One thing: The Hurricane seem to have slightly more reflectivity from it's fabric covered surfaces than from the metal ones. Shouldn't it be the other way around, or is it just a trick of the (virtual) light?

As long I understood Oleg, SOW is ready, in post-production stage ( details...)
We all know how much people here are addicted to details ( I was amazed with the guy who actually known the right place of the Taifun´s landing light )
The process of fine tuning seems to be tedious and very hard to do with lots of manual work ( art...)
When he said he was in the process of doing the docs of the next sim I understood
that ´s like a film director doing the storyboard before starting the shooting,right?
It´s obvious that SOW will be a landmark in flight sims, we just don´t fully realized how big it will really be.
My real concern is about the system needed to run this baby.
Probably the oficial recommended specs in the box will be something like: DO THE BEST YOU CAN DO,MAN!

Cheers and thanks for the updates!

Oleg, one of the very first model airplanes I ever made when I was a lad was an Avro Anson I. I have wanted to "fly" one ever since. I am now 56 years old and I hope that I can fly one in the virtual sky of Storm Of War.

Excellent update.

Thank you very much.

On planes I've seen, fabric covered surfaces are not any less glossy than metal ones, assuming they've been doped and painted.

A lot seem to be anticipating a North Africa theatre next, but the battle of France would only require the addition of French aircraft. The battle of Norway and Holland are also strong possibilities. I personally can't wait for battle of Poland and Spanish Civil War scenarios: more plane types involved than I'll know what to do with.

Great screen shots so far. I'm curious as to how the marking system will work: results like from MAT Manager or better?

EDIT: Although your team is still adding objects and tuning terrain and other features on the map, is it safe to say that the final size of the map has been determined? If so, how big is it? Any images of the final map?

Great progress Oleg!

Please tell your 3d guys that they are doing a fantastic job, especially the ones who are building all the other stuf, like buildings, cars and ships. These will be essential to making this sim feel lifelike and usually falls short when it comes to proper appreciation.

@lbuchele: Thanks.
