Thx a bunch, Ilya. You realize that you just put more emblems on my plate? Namely those of the Küstenfliegergruppen ...

Regarding the weathering effects we can see at those beauties, are they the final and "worst" state of weathering ?

How can we imagine the process of wastage of the entrence area of the cockpit on the upper side of wings? I suppose those effects won't process by flight time such as the wing edges or propeller blades f.e.

A more specific question regarding the damage model I have. Perhaps not directly related to this friday update.
As we know, planes consist of different types of materials. With different characteristics (physically). Are such characteristic values in any kind considered in the damage calculation?
E.g. the heat resistance or strength durability due to forces which occur ?
This could be fire of the engine which heats metal or fabric materials till the load limit is reached and the part fails to work or certain areas get damaged.Or simple collisions on the ground with objects or runway bumps, something like that...

(I know that perhaps gets a bit into detail, but due to my studies I'm interested in those details. Me-262 fans would be a nice topic, but hey BoB is not Schwalbentime

)

Incredible. And people were afraid they were neglecting the planes.

Thank you very much for the update.
This is starting to feel so much like the old days and I am glad to have this feeling back again.

Thanks for the update!

Word, the weathering and details of the planes are far above IL-2.

I like the engine details inside of the cowl, and these aren't the in game ones.

And inclusion of the he 115, the lighting looks good.

It's cool there's going to be details like sunlight glints from a distance (before you get close).

I suspect they will have moving engine parts, as IL-2 has the internal cooling fan of the FW 190, I remember nodding my head and giving props (proper recognition) to that, when I learned the value of F2 during engine spool up.

Mazex - there were much more hard-used aircrafts during BoB, wich will NOT be in relise...

For example Bf110C-2 and Bf110D-0/3.
