Oleg, what do you think of the DCS A-10C business model? Pre-paying the sim has given everybody access to downloading the beta.

I first want to say to Mr. Oleg and his team keep up the excellent work. I might just buy four copies just to help with the future deveopments (add ons) . If anyone has seen any of the history channels seies about how a famous actor changed the world. I want to put my vote in for how Oleg Maddox changed the world. You have encouraged multitudes of hobbiest to go to the library and read a book. Dvd sales of all things about world war II have increased. I have not even touched upon the whole gaming industry, video cards, memory, and the list goes on. I am glad that the IL2 series reminds you of a encyclopedia. Hey thats another idea, Aviation history by 1C publishing. I'd put that on my shelf in a heart beat. With the development of the SOW seires, I want to thank you in advance for the quality of those third party additions. I have purchased about all of the third party add ons to IL2 that were in English. From Aces Campaigns to Wings Over Jungles. I have enjoyed them all. Some have been better than others, however, I am looking forward to the next new generation of add ons. Keep them all up to your standards of care. Il2 has become more than a video game. It has changed my view on history and thus changed my world!

As it was promised in the past we will get all them in time more close to photorealistic than fancy colors.

And you all should understand that with thousands such small details even some small change of one texture may have effect on the overal image... that is a huge work to tune all things that should look like photorealistic (at least from the bird's flight!)

Thanks for these infos, I'm really looking to fly over the British countryside in your sim

my word... i'm lonvign that shot of the spit, the pilots head position looks so natural, the bump mapped rivets, the AA the lighting... just wow. cracking update.

Great prospects for some night flying.

As always the shots show some superb aspects of the sim.
The ground details astound me more each time I see them.
Target training at an OTU anyone?

you can see the radar ...prongy thing... sticking out the front of the beaufighter as well. and the pilot appears to be leaning to one side. or pushed by flight manoeuvre to the side. *drools*

as for the ground details, at a wild guess, and based purely on the tech demo of the dx11 tessellation, those stones on the track may appear more 3d under dx11 rendering.

beautiful work foo.bar, quite beautiful. and for a flight sim!

and the targets... one for using with the flak guns perhaps?

the level of details is frankly astounding.

That Beaufighter looks MEAN!!

Thanks for taking the time to post, given last week's fiasco. I don't know how it's possible, but the updates just keep getting better and better each time!

Are the targets in the fourth screen shot for syncronising a fighters guns?
