LOL

That's one of the nicer versions people posted on this forum.

Hi Oleg. I noticed that spitfire hasn't got propeller yet. Am I right? It's invisible . I believe it's not made yet.

What propeller? Spitfires had warpdrives - the faint bueish glow-filter around the tailsection is disabled in the screenshots, though.

Hi Oleg,

A few small requests for the Friday update:
(asking too early possibly)

-Would like to see formation of bombers Ju88 with new and weathered skins.
Really curious about this. I've seen screens of almost finished Ju88's 2 years ago, so should be possible I think.

-The WIP on the pilot.

-Ground crew activity after flight has landed. Thinking also of ambulances. And may be re-arming.

-Bf109E3 Hoping for this quality:

I love the detail. Gotta look awesome in the engine - I remember though, that Oleg told a few pages ago only a few planes made it into the current build. I guess the smaller planes had priority.

IIRC Oleg mentioned in this thread that pilots are not implemented completely, as they were working on human animations. So my guess is no groundcrews either, yet.

The cockpit looks absolutely amazing:
- detailed geometry
- detailed, crisp textures
- great lighting + self-shadowing

* faints *

Some negative remarks though (just my 2 cents)
-Aircraft external lighting *seems* artificial/unrealistic
-Terrain looks cartoonish (very bright colors, very *clean*).

Looking forward to the end product!

Hint: look at the previous posts, especially Oleg's ones, you fill find good answers to your negs.

You guys need to lighten up.

Why repeat it when you know that it's a non/known issue?

Yeah its a non issue, why repeat it? You think Oleg maybe "forgets" ?
In reality, he hasn't read anything of course.

IIRC, he said that he could do dogfighting in Spit or 109, and was able to drop bombs in BR20 or Stuka. The 109 doesn't seem to be fully integrated yet, though, if I didn't misunderstood him.
