Any hint about the pilot-figures in the QMB?

1. there were several posts acknowledging that
2. Flyable and NonFlyable, perhaps?

I did notice it; hence me saying that the smoke looked awesome. But I didn't go into so much detail so I can see why you posted this
The smoke really is looking a lot better. Does anyone have any pictures of fuel leaks? it's clear to see in the shot Oleg posted, but I wasn't aware the leaks had such a fine trail.

Regarding pilots, it must be a complicated process. The pilot models are quite complex, and to give a good representation a lot of kit would need to be modelled for both sides. Having said that, it would be extremely cool to be able to choose different outfits for the pilot. Oleg has a wealth of knowledge on the RAF side of this, so I can imagine that it is perfectly possible; whether in the release or post-release.

Quite a mischievous grin on that stuka.

I'm pretty sure the QMB two pilot symbol is for aircraft with dual controls, remember how the tigermoth was planned to be used as a trainer, with two players able to switch off the controls during flight? I think in fact the icon may be a pilot and an instructor.

:drools:

superb. all looking fantastic, but i particularly like the "armoured bus" in the last shot.

i've seen an ad hoc tank at bovington that was made after dunkirk, basically a flatbed truck, reinforced with concrete and a bunker type thing on the back.

8 pages so far - much whining yet?

Hadn't noticed the "smoke/dust drift" effect from the factory, I truly hope (and expect) that that is caused by the ground level wind direction and speed. Cooooooooool!

I am a bit surprised at how extensively the whole factory (and surrounding buildings) are damaged by 4X 50 kg bombs, but perhaps this stuka is part of a larger flight which dropped before it did.

Nice to see that the dev team has begun damage models for the building types...
I'm clearly going to have to start saving for a new rig!

Thanks for the update.

it may bump the "force-landed in cornfield spit" from mine.

I am enjoying all of the new updates for my future sim collection. Could someone post some screen shots of what it will be like to fight at night? Thank you again for another fine update.

Did anyone notice that the Scammell Pioneer Recovery tractors had different ID plates? Neat detail.

I like the pic of the Stuka flying low over the trucks.
