Is it planned to make this fabric appear more rounded, or is this limited by something technical?

Thanks for the screenshots!

It is already a hemisphere. If you had curves at every string it would have a huge poly count. I don't think it is realistic to expect it to look more detailed.

In Il2 parachutes seem to take a large amount of memory as it is now.

I will probably disable them from bombers if we have that choice.

This is another example for what can be tesselated later when DX 11 is implemented.

I would like to add to this request as well - something featuring bombsight perhaps? Or anything bombardier and level bombing related.

is the pilot figure "head" now moving in the direction we are looking to inside the cockpit ? i remember you hoped to have it working by release time, but dont know if there was any update if you were able to include it.

Thanks for another great update Oleg.
I really appreciate the time it takes.

On the second part of the update, first picture.. Those 109's could have almost been taken from a still of the Battle of Britain film.. very good stuff chaps!

[Ploughman]

Oleg, will it be possible to disable facial hair on German aircrew?

And more seriously, will you be able to post more shots of various explosions, damage being undertaken by ground objects and ships sort of thing?

Any yellow nosed 109 still looks like its cleaned by Libyan personal.
I think that when I get the game I will find that the 109 textures do not have the atmosphere of the british or even the 110 or bomber textures. I have just not seen any that look as good.(the non yellow ones in this set look better then the yellow ones, but not as good as the other aircraft)
Not a big fan of their interpretation of RLM 04 either, too green for my eye.


Love the contrails above the hurricane.

Excellent as always
