Stunning work, Foo'bar! I've always liked you skins, but those trains and buildings are work of art! Is all this for SoW:BoB? If so, just building virtual rail-roads with nice stations will be worth the prize of the game!

Oleg, my only, humble advice for terrain is: desaturate. I'm quite sure most of the visual problems -at least a good portion of them- related to the looks of ground, are because colors are a bit too saturated. Textures have a neon-ish quality and vibrating brightness that detracts from realism. Just a little bit of desaturation would make miracles to both ground and skins.

If there are any issues with the colour saturation they're minor, maybe you need to calibrate your display?

As you sit in your dinghy you can watch your plane slowly slipping into the murky waters of the channel...
...and watch transparent waves break the shore.

fantastic update!
i feel the time is very near, to fly north

I have a question. When the pilots bail over the channel will they have rubber rafts to float in or working life jackets. I notice in IL-2 that none of the German pilots ever had life jackets that worked, neither did the English or Russian pilots only American and Japanese.

All models on that site, beside some few exceptions, have been made exclusively for SoW. Not only BoB but for hole series. Even most of them for later theatres. The Kübelwagen has been made for Red Orchestra and has a internal model wich could be used for SoW - if MG wants to.
