4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[Pursuivant]

Lots of Easter Eggs

* There appear to be new formations for planes.

* New objects - including human figures, bomb craters and Mediterranean-looking buildings.

* Flyable DB-3

* Flyable SB-2

* Slightly changed "no cockpit view" instruments

* Possibly P-51 with slightly revised 3d model (no fillet)?

* Fires can be started spontaneously in planes somehow (in FMB)?

* Improved P-51 cockpit.

* Some self-shadowing (at least for fire effects)

* New 3D model or some change or addition to Bf110 (at 1:40 on the tape)

* Possibly improved DB-3, IL2 models?

* Changes to Pe-2, Mosquito, Ju-88 and Fw-190A models?

* More complex tree shadows and plane shadow models.

* New model for RZ-5 Natacha? (at 4:50)

* Improved SBD-3 cockpit?

* Maybe changes to U.S. Fleet carrier model?

* Improved Fw-190 cockpit?

* New landing gear controls

* Killed crew models for B-25D (and other planes?)?

With regards to all the new eye candy, can you please comment on how this will affect framerates on older systems?

I see a R-5 with skis? That's not a new feature. The R-5 was added in... 4.10? We've had it for a bit.
