[PilotError]

Thanks for the update Oleg, and team.

Those screenshots look superb.

Your post telling us that it is getting close to being published has got me as excited as a little kid waiting for Christmas. LOL

I hope your problems at home are solved quickly and with a good outcome. As some posters have already said, that is your priority, and if need be, forget about us on the forums (even though we hang on your every word).

Again, nice update.

Nice update, I like the shots showing planes (lightings, textures, reflections, shadowing ... are great) but the terrain looks strange to me. The vehicles seem to stand on a golf course and the grass is not dense enough. The ground looks too flat to me and the textures should be more photorealistic but maybe this is intentional, in order to spare some polygons to save the FPS or it's still WIP. Anyway, the general impression is very positive and realictic althought i think that in some views it looks too much like a slightly improved IL2 (but again WIP should be the reason).

I hope to see soon some screen with some anti-aliasing, it will mean that the problem with the graphic drivers are on a good way to be solved and that the release date is near

I would also like to say that I know that it must be a great challenge to build an ambitious sim like SOW BoB and I'm happy that there are guy's like Oleg who work with passion and take finencial risks to build us the sim we love and allow us to eat something more refinade than the usual microsoft s..

Good work Oleg, I wish you a lot of success !

So do they initially start out synched and then rapidly fall out of synch? The pic posted today appears to have them synched.

Really even on the picture shown today visible that they are not started at the same time. They have realistic shift. Anyway, you'll see the differences when you will shot yourself later....

And try to imagine - there isn't each bullet with tracer and they are going from different barrells, some time are not symmetrical.

Would it help (speed up) things if we pre-orderd BoB SoW, Im sure most of us would be more than happy to...

Keep up the good work.

We want to give you our money early mr Maddox to make sure that we'll see not only SoW, but many more expansions after that

Can't you see your own hands and legs, or are you using some sort of Track IR method to move your stick and rudder.
