Non-Friday 2010-05-24 Dev. update and Discussion Thread

I think this is maybe one of the best updates so far. Why? Well, we've seen a lot of very well done isolated items so far, but not much of the big picture. These screenshots are beginning to capture the sum of the parts, the living, breathing world that SoW looks like it's going to be.

I can't even begin to describe how impressed i am, great job!

imagine if it was the video of those sceenshots
that would've been epic

1 question though....
Will the electric lines be breakable? or as soon as we touch the wire we will go boom?

Keep up the good work! looking forward to fly'n this sucker. ~S~

Stunning, with one small nitpicky detail.

I work on antique cars for a living, so this got me right off. The T series MG model is far too wide. These were very narrow cars.

I know, I know, it's a flight sim, but the devil is in the details...

1936 MG TA...

Track, front and rear is 45 inches (1145mm)

Overall width is 56 inches.

There is a reason the entire T series were called "Midget".

Sorry Oleg, I realize it's a trivial thing, but it's what I do.

Extreeeeeeeeeemly good pictures - I look at the trees and the grass, and I can not believe - they are so real! Oleg, please can we see a Hawker Hurricane vs Bf-109? The Hawker Hurricane is the main Battle machine of the RAF.

Now THAT'S a landing "strip."


Great update Oleg, and crew. It's been amazing to see glimpses of small details along the production cycle. And now those details are coming together into one cohesive unit. The "works in progress" are becoming "working progresses."

Thank you Oleg for every update.

I have memories of Duke Nukem Forever, its good to see fresh updates of this sim.

Keeps the dream alive.

Thanks for the link Schallmoser. Yes, I see what you mean. There do appear to be faint sunbeams present. Now ... what about moonbeams?! And talking of which, let's hope on moonless nights, the sky really will be properly dark, unlike IL2 (although I know 4.10 may fix that).

Hi Oleg! I have some questions:
1)Will be shakes in cockpit made by engine running (bigger shakes when lower RPM and faster frequency tiny shakes on bigger RPM)?
2)What about starting engine? Will be "one click" (hope no) or full procedure starting?
3)Will be big shakes when taking-off from grass runway?
4)What is expected date of realase Storm of War: Battle of Britain?
Greetings!

#4 is a good question
