Waves: we saw some incredible videos of waves a long time ago. I do not expect to see these in the initial release, but it would be good if we saw some simple waves. As yet we have not seen any waves at all in the weekly updates. Will there be waves in the initial release?

Lovely update, the game really is looking photorealistic: those 109's are just breathtaking. Could I request a red-nosed one for another update? I'm not a Lufty fan, but I always liked red-nosed 109's....

Out of everything, to me the smoke and fire effects are the only areas that don't really look photorealistic. I'm not sure if I'm alone, but that hurri seems to be producing a hell of a lot of smoke and fire. Is that really realistic?

Great work chaps.

PS_you missed out the 7th, my Birthday, from your calendar!!!

Also the head seems to be perfectly aligned to the gunsight in 'cruise mode', that would not be correct but I can't say for sure.

Yes, its not just the 109 pilot model its ALL the character models in the game, they are all too small, they need to be scaled up slightly... You can even see in the He111 pics the crew is too small...

Unfortunately they have been this size for a while now(alpha build?) and i fear its too late to change it now... I just hope its fixed in a patch

It's not that far off.

Will "Triggers" be implemented in the scripted campaigns to allow variations in missions if you fly different routes.

Congratulations too!

Oleg, I was wondering, does the RAF pilot have an oxygen mask...? I know it's a teeny-tiny part of the sim, but considering the work you have gone into for the kit, I'd hate to see that you missed this out. (It won't put me off BTW if this isn't included, or isn't modelled correctly)

I know that the pilot is WiP.
But.

Oleg, please watch this video and fix the midget pilots they look really silly.
