Evening gentlemen,

Another fruitful week comes to an end. Oleg's got a hell of a flu, so I'm doing a update for him. Apologies for making some of you suffer as you waited for your fix.

We've done a lot of stuff this week, enough for a few updates. Today we're focusing our new and improved aircrews.

Also a little bit of fancy flying (you can collide with each one of those wires).

Very nice screenshots but for the love of god start using AA + AF

This is looking so good; the crew look real! Question; will the effects for tracers be 3D or 2D (currently they are 2D in Il-2). I'd love to see how the tracers smoke trails could look and react in game.
Regarding fire; does it spread? This is too much to ask, I know, but I just wanted to know. I think I read somewhere that fire could spread and so I am curious if it starts out small and grows in size (as the fire in those shots looks lethal)

I think I saw Oleg bail out in that last image

[drafting]

Great images!

...I wonder if that last shot shows that the crew tumbles on their way down?
