"Using tele objective (or other extreme lenses) distorts your 3D world to a a point like you wouldn't believe..."

It's like the "screenshooters" who often like to use wideview angle which produces aircrafts looking like bananas.

Best focale for taking such views without distorsion is around 41-43mm, human eye focale.

Also you may see correction of 110th.

Oleg, thank you! Looks perfectly! Unique, that embarrasses - smoke looks as though built from the pieces of cotton wool. Is it possible to correct? What he was more alike on stuyu gas evenly dissolving and spreading as far as a delete from a conflagrant object.

I ask to forgive for English - write through online-translator As far as understand, to write it is here impossible in russian.
Successes to you and Your command! We all very wait the game created by you!

С уважением!

Wonderful shots. The smoke and fire have a real depth to them that you never see in a computer game, incredible work.

[Jaws2002]

Bloody gorgeous shots Oleg!!
Thank you.

For one of the next updates could you do some shots just above a thick cloud layer. In most flight simulations, even the new ones like Black Shark and ROF, the cloud layer looks horrible and flat from above. No details no shadows and it simply takes away from the beauty of flying just above the clouds.

Thank you.

This is what i mean:

The fire looks terrifying. I don't know if I can shoot down the Englander anymore when I see that 8..(


Looks fantastic Oleg

Been following this for a while, but today had to sign on to say WOW! I'm drooling all over!

Oleg, could we have just a teeny tiny sample video? With the fire and smoke perhaps?

[Pato Salvaje]

Simply... I love this game!!

[Ploughman]

Looking really good and the growing ammount of information about the capabilities of the engine is begining to lift the veil on what a step change SoW is going to be. Very excited by the visual scale of this sim too.

Thanks for clarifying my question. I was going to edit my original post but Oleg had already answered, and I took his answer to mean that the formations were still limited to 4 aircraft.

This is very good news. Imagine leading a squadron of 16 fighters on a fighter sweep

Oleg takes the other hand out from behind his back...bam
to all the clowns that said this looked like IL2. LOL
It is a great contrast between the 109(looks like an unweathered scale model) and the Hurricane, (looks like a picture, only the quality of the shot gives it away)
I imagine with a quick look, 80% of people would think that was a picture.

Now all the smoke experts come out.
