Showing just enough to drop our jaws on the table and beg for more. Looking forward to some more screenshots.

They are other type of technology as you may see on other shots with sun. However there will more different looking types in final.
Modeling of behavior and look of real clouds at the same time - very complex task. As well as modeling of different weather conditions in diffeent parts of region that you may meet during flight, especially if tit is connected to the other parts of the game.
So, I don't think that we'll see the modeling of all airstrems near and inside the clouds in 100%. We ma be just be close to simulation of them. And we are doing that thing. that was one long work and I don't think that all parts meet final release of BoB (in future maybe), because of too great impact to processor calculations, doing to many tasks simultaniosly.

We don't plan to make it ourselves. In the past we have the game with 100% recignized commands (after training) but most never used it even it was working good.

many parts of source code will be open, so any third party developer may use their modules with adapting to our themselves.

Please pay anttention: I would like to point one important thing.

The map of England, France, etc - the region of battle.
We will show such things just some time before release. The same way as it is doing others.


So when I will see some posts regarding it, I simply will ignore them. Just because I pointed it already.

I don't remember if the final decision has been made: Will SoW have ingame communications like teamspeak, mumble or similar means?

We will have like in Il-2, however reworked and user friendly in use, but this will not excluding external program use

Impressed with the planes/vehicles

not so much with the maps, very unnatural and cookie cutter looking.

after seeing the BOP mapping I was hoping for something equally as beautiful.
