How can you look at Pics 4, 5 and 6 and say that?

Some of us are too fixated on oversaturated, whiz-bang graphics to know what a good sim even is, I suspect. Even if SoW looked like IL-2 (which it almost certainly will not), it would hardly be the end of the world. Just as long as the flight modelling, damage modelling, and all the other things that go on behind the scenes (and thus what makes a sim a sim) are improved accordingly, I will be happy.

Haha! I guess so. It's the guts of the sim that really matter. Cutting edge graphics are just icing on the cake.

Looks good and super detail but it seems like IL-2 mod to me.
Hope we could see actual flight video soon.

a couple of points on the instruments- several are of a later than 1942 style- presumably from 'restoration'

asi is wrong AFAIK

dh asi


pre 42 'white' was used not flourescent green- a similar type to what you have used looks like this

1946 date is a repair date marking

turn and slip indicator
again green indicates post '42

early pattern


detail on centre of this later one might be of use?


compass
you are using a later p11 type- noticeable from the 'T' shape course indicator- should be 2 parallel lines for ~40

note also the way cardinal points are marked- square red base for north
this also applies to spits/ hurri's
the larger 'bomber type' compass has a triangular red north


altimeter
also has green numbers- should be all 'white'

I love it... If I where Oleg, I'd put you on my list that gets on the beta team and a free copy of the game for doing the instrument research for them

oleg & Co,

thanks for posting an update, that is an excellent looking tigermoth !

one comment: the current lower detail picture posted (? not direct x 11 and without lots of AA and AF ?) makes the wings look like they are a very solid dense structure, rather then the fragile and flimsy cloth texture on an aircraft of that type in real life

for ex compared to these photo's, where the wings also have a more "cloth like texture" to them, and you get a real sense of how fragile and delicate the wing surface is in real life




could be that the end product of BoB in its high detail shows the current BoB tigermoth more fragile and flimsy as it should be, but in its current illustration it looks a bit to solid imo

+1, this man knows his stuff.
