If anti-aliasing was on would be much better!

Luthier if it works at windshield, would be nice to add more metal!

Looks great. My great uncle flew Tiger Months quite a bit during the war... I'm sure he'd love to take the virtual representation for a flight or two sometime!

I just want to see some terrain shots (actual terrain) and some effects visuals. We all know the planes and cockpits will be good, I just want to see some shots of things we haven't see before. Maybe a video of the dynamic weather?

Love the Tiger Moth, I can see myself spending alot of time in this aircraft.

I get the feeling the lack of AA is intentional. As weird as that sounds, what other explanation could there be? This update is not even in the game engine so conflict b/w AA and some other DX feature isn't a concern.

The amount of detail in this model is fantastic. Fabric stretched over ribs, great textures (the aluminum is spot on), welds (!), turnbuckles, clevis pins, realistic control cable ends ... a bit of AA and better lighting and this model would look a LOT better.

The sharp front edge on the piece of wood attached to the door that fits over the longeron takes away a bit from the model. A bevel there would help but maybe it won't be noticeable in the in-game lighting.

Weathering looks right to me and is consistent with Tiger Moths I've seen. Got to fly in one in Caboolture, QLD. These planes were obviously newer in the 40's but they were trainers and used quite a bit.

I have a feeling I'll be flying this plane a LOT
