I like the mix of trees that are in the shot, the old trees all looked the same but these shots have many different varietiesin which will look a lot more real. Great pics Oleg.

Welcome back Oleg, i hope you had a nice vacation.

The screenshots are really looking awesome!

The date of September 15, 2010, will mark the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
At that time, Oleg, can we hope to acquire the best flight and air combat simulation game ? That game, that we expect fervently for too long?

Anyway, great shots Oleg and good luck to all (due the fires around Moscow) !!

Nice update though.

Yes. Oleg mentioned a month or two back that they had better clouds which are (or were) being done by their graphics artists. They were not incorporated as yet because it was not deemed the most important task at this time. Will be added nearer the end...

Very nice to hear that. Thx.

To bring back an earlier topic (.....no, NOT trees!), I think in the cockpit screenshot you can see that the Heinkel's control surfaces have moved - the rudder to me looks turned to the left ?

Wow!
The first shot makes me wonder how good the 6dof will be- i hope to be able to zoom in on the instruments better than i can currently in IL2.
The details visible of the He111 are brilliant- cant wait for another video to show how all this is coming together.

All agree leaves are great but, I for one will not be looking at leaves if low level at 250 or 300 mph.
Much more interested in map shown in 2nd picture of first set. Headland is clearly Beachy Head but, if waypoint 1 is take off point I know of no wartime airfield that approximates to that location. Beachy Head could be easily confused with Selsey Bill which is 46 miles (73 km) to the west. Then relative T/O point could easily be RAF Tangmere or its satellite Westhampnett. Sadley apart from the Tangmere Museum Tangmere airfield is long gone but Westhampnett is still there, better known these days as Goodwood Racing Circuit, which was formed from the old perimeter track. Goodwood also known as EGHR Chichester.

Perhaps Oleg could clarify.

Sweet looking up-date...thanks!

Its probably not a takeoff point, but just an airstart location which can be put anywhere.
