I think you are right, a sunset looks far more like it. SunSETs are usually more colourful than sunrises, at least where I come from. I suppose the reason is that the day see a combination of sunlight and wind, drying up the topsoil and sending particles up into the lower atmosphere. Also, industry, road traffic and other polluters are most active during the day. When night comes, wind subsides, temperature drops, water in the air condensates and helps clean the air.

Imagine flying over such a landscape when taking off for a night mission! I wonder what Oleg manages to get out of London burning...

The images is taken more or less due south seen from a little north of Portsmouth. The sun seems to be straight to the south. Thus it should be in the mid of the day. It is a little bit weird that the sun isn't higher on the horizon.

On the highest altitude screenshot you can see an east-west line in Northern France, beyond which there is no terrain drawn. That looks like map-edge to me.

Either that or its the point where the engine stops drawing the map. The line looks to be about 150 miles away from the viewpoint.

What about the "WIP settlement" of the three models of hangars on the first Do 215 screen.
Those hangar main doors are sitting intimately face to face) .






A comparative study with the following aerial pictures of Thorney Island airfield(1945).





During an attack on Aug 18th, 1940, the luftwaffe (Stuka) has damaged two hangars, one of which remained a burnt-out shell until after the war.






These "siamese" hangars at Andover drome, in 1918 've loved to keep a respectful distance from each other. (())

Thanks again Oleg. There's a feeling of depth in those shots. Enjoy your vacation.

I think it's very safe to assume hangars have only been placed there for demonstration or testing. Oleg's team knows how airfields look like, moreover airfield takeoffs and correct hangars in SoW could be seen in videos already in 2007. Some of you guys really panic at the slightest bit
