sounds of the engines are like in IL2....tbh....also it seams that you used engine sound of Bf109 in spitfire (I guess that is because its still beta, and that you dont have sound of Merlin engine ready yet).

It was already said that it's not finished.

Still can't get over how the light reflects off the Stuka skin. You can actually see the metal skin bend slightly outwards between the rivet lines, and the light falling off the resulting small bulges...

Thank you for this wonderful update.

I'd love to see how a Mustang from the Korea project would look with this

Just one small but important point ... I don't think the cliff tops had trees on or near them in 1940.[U] Today, the cliff tops just have plain green [/U]meadows, with no vegetation.

The frame rates were lovely and smooth and the detail over the built up areas was amazing. Everything's looking just superb.

Not so peter, plenty of trees and gorse then and now, but no trees on the beaches. Cheers, [ex resident before and after the war].

Sorry to change the subject so abruptly but 2 questions come suddenly to my mind.

- As wind is modeled, will we have cross wind landings in BoB ?

- Will we have complete cloud overcast ? Correct me if I'm wrong but this feature hasn't been shown yet in the Friday's previews.

Well that's one way of cranking up your Kill Tally?

All we need now is a german trainer and I'll be in double figures before no time!!!!!

Cheers!

Oleg, buy yourself a drink, have a day off, relax. This looks beautiful.

Can I ask Oleg, what-in your opinion-is the one aspect from what we see here which needs the most improvement?

On some frame is visible direct split line of horizon. Not everywhere, because this split line became visible (should be something like on Bf109 everning scene split of sky) due to bug in code right before the Igromir and right before some video I begun to record.

Sound. The sound you heard is the old try. Some time even missed. Because the final sound you will listen only in final release.

Colors are not final really

Camera: there is a lot of optoions, that are not tuned. But the amount of options - filmakers will be very happy.

Effects, rounds on the water, water itself, beach, trees lods - all should be tuned in better way or replaced already by the final effects that was implemnented insted of placeholders.

Traccers of different type (smoked for example). It is already, but not present in a video.

As I told this video is from early beta. How knows how much time it take to produce - will understand me. So... i wasn't able to put new scenes in already ready project sequence, except the change Russian for English.

On exhibition is also demonstrated separate presentation video about some unique technologies. Maybe I will do it late in english with new video materials, but more close to release. As well as Su-26 video also demonstrated. But Su-26 had not tuned igauges, had some glitches in the details of cockpit.

1. yes. This was in Il-2. In BoB it is by more complex calcualtiuons.

2. I think yes if you have seen demonstration of the DVD from Il-2 1946 box set . Currently we are working over it that to make it in final release with all or part of features that we even din't mentioned in the past. There is problem with frame rate with the super realistic visuals and effect of all flows. Maybe we will need to decrease the amount of some features that are in code and not working proper at the moment. Russian visitors at exhibition were able to look Full Mission Builder where all weather effects were described in menus of selections . But it doesn't means they all will be in final. Better to make less than buggy.
