I honestly don't care if I never see another update pic again.
It's enough for me to know that SOW is on the go and WILL happen.

Good pictures.

Level of detail on planes is astonishing. Is there some glance of advanced shadowing and lighting already on the planes? One can already tell from what material surfaces are made of (metal or canvas) and that is just working versions I assume?

So, we will have Avro Anson and Me108 as flyable then? Am I got it that wrong?

Probably understandable seen the time everybody waits for an update and just 24hours after the community got pearl harboured with Birds of Prey. A litle bit of sarcasm in some posts doesn't surprise me. I think folks here had more in mind than the "usual" dev shot of a wip a/c on blue background.

What I can't for the hell figure out is why 1C doesn't do a dev blog. That is standard for so many games today, FS included. Oleg wouldnt even have to do it personally.

The level of detail, as mentioned by others, is astounding.

Take a close look at the AD 4 cockpit shot. Look at the cowling, see those exhaust stacks? All part of the new complex DM?

Look at the panel textures on the F-82 and P(F)-51.

Personally I can't wait.

Great update.

I don't actually see any 'updates' in those pics.They mean nothing.They are nothing a graphic artist could not knock up in a week.A REAL update would be nice (God forbid in game shots or video)

Past experiences is the key phrase here. Early in the Il-2 development he sought active contact with the prospective customers for feedback and support ... and the result were, essentially, completely overblown expectations followed by "sour-grapes" accusations of bias, insinuations of various rather personal kinds and a few more things that surely showed Oleg that this close a contact to the "fans" is impossible. Unless, of course, he wouldn't mind being sent to the nearest rubber cell in a straightjacket around the time of SoW's release. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
