In Il2, we could pass in some objects like some trees or cable, but if I pass through electric lines, ship cables, and so on..... will it affect my plane ?

And btw....... the shot with the Spit's cockpit and the boat is truly...... I mean truly..... impressive

Oleg it looks great. One of my favorite moments for IL2 was straffing convoys and seeing the soldiers run off to the sides. I hope to see some life on the ships, AA fire, men scurrying about. Maybe lifeboats unloading a dying ship. Thank you for the great work!!

I must have destroyed at least a dozen perfectly good airplanes trying to take a good screenshot of that ship. Should have done in Top Gun style.

So the collision detection is working then - good to hear

That seriously can't be understated... It looks really, really good!

Hello Oleg!

I guess it is a WIP also , but I believe(hope) the fuel/gasoline related flames and smokes would(will) have a denser, oily aspect?
Except on the very edges, they should show next to no transparency (same thing for the clouds, ar least from afar)...

Wonderful update in any case, thanks!

S~! Oleg

Hurricane tail boom is really needing a rework. Those Hurricane shots were definitely wip, so I would like to see shots further along before more comment.

Pilots starting to approach final. Keep up good work there. A 10-20% increase in pixel count wouldn't hurt for a more HD quality - but not critical.


Would like to know more about latest engine developments. What can you share?

Indeed, spectacular detail!

Brilliant images. I love the Hurricane.
Great to see such detailed ship models too.
Any chance of a CAM ship for the Hurricane later in the SoW series?

Will the AI capability of ships be increased, especially for warships, so that they take avoiding action when under attack?

Be nice also to have capability for creating ship formations in SoW's version of FMB.
