Thank's Oleg for the pictures. Your latest ones were 5 months ago. If now you keep posting them every week I will start to believe that BOB is for real. I take your word for that.

The picture numbered ........0116 looks very cartoonish in terms of color, contrast etc.
Some effort is needed for the cliffs to be more realistic. In general for landscape I agree with comments that have been already made. You should consider that everybody uses LCD screens and these have the tendency to have more saturated colours (as a visual impact) then plasma or CRT screens.

Airplanes seem perfect. Internal view of the cockpit of the spit is marvellously realistic. There is an immersive feel. On the external side they are beautifully detailed but too perfectly painted. The real ones were never perfectly painted, maybe only at delivery time. They had immediately, dents, scratches and chipped paint, oil and exhaust traces etc. This is true also for trucks, tanks, and in general for all military gear as it was made not to last too long anyway.
I think all objects should show some wear and tear. Hope this will not be neglected.

Last but not least please show us the picture of pilots and soldiers. How do you model humans. In IL2 it was an extremely crude polygonal model with boxed faces etc..
When we are on the ground in the airfields then they will contribute immensely to the immersion factor of a living world.

And if they are even animated (maybe with scripts that could be chosen in the FMB) then you reach for the absolute Flight sim title again.

Keep up the good work and posts.
