Hi Luthier. Did you get my Message that was sent to you?

Thanks luthier,
Liked the Spitfire cockpit vid - looks very good. Also liked the working Lorenz approach radar and the great ship detail - would be interested in a list of ships you are creating for BOB SOW?
Have a good move - moves are always a bit stressful, so hang-in there.

Looks just how I hoped it would , now my editing fingers are gettin ready....

Thank you for the video, maybe this was what we all were looking for...
Very interesting indeed !

Is there any reason to have so many elaborated shadows in the cockpit but no propeller?

I can see, mainly from the clouds’ shadows on the water and land, that you maintain certain distance for the rendering of the clouds or “cloud pop-up”
as it was called in some old posts 4.09b & landgeom=3 related.

Has this distance has been increased in SoW compare to il2?

From what I see I can sincerely appreciate how much work has been done, from what I don’t see I can also realize how much work is left.

Salutes & best wishes,
Majo.

PD.
Please consider…
The amount of inputs we are receiving lately with the SoW updates, patch 4.09m and the Daidalos Team's plans for future patches are making this site
a little confusing.

Even though we all are a happy family, don’t you think it’s time for everyone to have its own breathing space?

Thank you again.

Oleg,

thanks for the posting of the cockpit video, it looks fantastic !! very realistic sense of being in a physical cockpit now

great to see the gunsight working in such detail, and the illuminated reticle staying the correct size as the pilot leans forward and back (i even measured it to be sure to be sure )

Your a piece of work Protos. Do you have trouble getting that Ego through doorways?

Despite Protos antagonistic style this video of inside a Spit cockpit is rather smooth.

That said I have no clue how much if any air turbulence there was in the video and what the simulated conditions were in the SOW video.

either way the SOW video is first rate.

edit: after taking another look I realized the camera was fixed to the airframe so it would look much smoother than the same camera affixed to the pilot helmet
