I hope the reason is some kind of optic effect, but some pictures showing different size planes (i.e. hurries and he111, bf110, etc...), and also objects (i.e. cranes and hurry in the last picture), seems to me there is huge scalation discrepancy if you compare their sizes with real ones.

Former IL2 also had these problems, mainly with land objects (tanks, AAA, etc...) but also with some planes and ships...

Are you aware of this??

Thanks again and keep on the good working!!

It's the lens.

Luthier,

with a multi crew aicraft like that on fire (or under attack, damaged), will some of the endangered crew (by nearby fire or damage) jump from the aircraft on their own initiative, or will it always only happen when (we) as the pilot order it ? (ie, one "bailout" command for all crew at once, and crew wont jump on their own when fire comes near or starts near them).

and similar with AI crews, will some AI crew from an aircraft jump on their own, and will the AI pilot continue to try and get his aircraft home even with severe damage and a partial crew ?

We will be here Monday when the bug's been fixed
ANy chance of a repost?

Thank you,

Excellent question.

Looking good.


I know its WIP and all so im just wondering about the first pic where the ship explodes, cant see any shockwaves on the water (not much of anything really, excpet the fireball) Will the effects/debries be there in the final version?

Absolutely brilliant! The excitement is building. I missed the beginning years of IL-2 but this must have been what it was like with the screenshots revealing more and more and today "109 viewers" on the forum already.
