Looks superb! I got one question though: what will be the max. size in KM for the maps?

Many thanks in advance!

The size of the map could be unlimited (sphere) but with small amount of detail and decreased resolution.

So will be limited map.

As I told in the past there will be no Norway or Berlin.

Ok, I move in vacation right now. Sorry.

This is the most interesting news yet. Unlimited map (sphere) suggests a world map, with only the BOB area being modeled in detail in the first addition of the series. Also saying that there will be no Norway or Berlin modeled brings hope that Paris will.

This unlimited sphere map bodes well for future addons that included bomb raids to Berlin etc. Hopefully computers will be strong enough then to have such large detailed maps. FSX does have a world map but photo scenery looks ok at high level but sucks big time at low level.

I find the current state of the terrain scenery is good, but still needs work to make it photo realistic. Although maybe all thats needed is more varieties of trees, and hedgerows, more realistic color palette, and higher resolution. Yes I know its still a WIP.

Oleg, it will be really superb, if You make the fire and the flames, the smoke and the explosions more and more realistic as much as possible. And please add some long lasting bomb craters, in order for us to create "Moon surface". Everything is very good. Really!

Wow. Just WOW!

Beautiful work, guys! It seems a very good sign that you can manage a vacation at this stage in development, Oleg.

Someone needs to start the 3-D modelling of a space shuttle- looks like the SOW engine can handle it!

Amazing!
