I'm so amazed by lighting and shadows in this sim!

And the level of detail is ashtonishing!

I'm going to spend days just flying around low and slowly, taking in the beauty of it all!

Anyway, I'm astounded by the new shots (in particular the variation in ground cover - implying some vaguely ecological approach to the landscape - even though we've been told that the trees will be uniform).
However, I'm not surprised by them given Oleg's track record of having astounding details appear unexpectedly.

I have one development question / wish / request that has always been on my mind, and I have never come across anyone else asking about it... So here it is

Full cockpit vs Wonderview:- In IL-2 there is either Full cockpit or gunsight and sky. Nothing inbetween. It would be so good if there was a third option.

To Oleg- Will/can there be a player defined option to set the in-cockpit view at 65% (or so) opacity, to make it semi-transparent?
So pilots can still have more "sky" but also can have the feeling that they are still flying in a beautifully rendered fighter plane?

The cockpit opacity settings would be amazing to have... No longer will we have to choose between dynamic gameplay (Wonderview) and immersion (In cockpit)... We could have both.


ADDITION: I asked the the guys on the forum to give suggestions and Xnomad made a simple and clever one... There were concerns that an inbetween view would cause less FPS... Xnomad suggested that we keep the cockpit on 100%
and keep tracking the ememy ID through the cockpit... I have made samples of both suggestions and I'd like to ask you Oleg and team to PLEASE answer this question/ request.

I have also added some direction and lead markers...
Notice how the direction and lead markers fade the further distance
away the target gets...



I'd be happy with an answer like:-
1. Yes, we have planned something like that
2. No
3. Maybe, in a future update

Not too sure what the technical implications of this request is but I had to ask anyway.

The updates are looking better and better every week.Have a great day and
thanks you for making this sim happen...

Oaaggghafafafafanaghabaaaa!

Can waiting for a game to come out cause seizures or other medical emergencies? I can't stand much more of this!!

It s nice to see that you have a lot patiance with us. The pictures are looking very nice, and i am sure that this game will be a new good aria, like IL 2 was and still is. I have a lot of confidence in the work you are doing, you proved it allrady with IL 2.
