The propellors in these shots look like the kind that you see in a movie (or a photo). Is this deliberate? It'd be cool to choose between different looks for how the propellor displays in-game

Good idea philip.

Maybe is the real moving of propeller but it's not like in my mind.

1:>) Full propeller (Stock)

2:>) Light multiple pale fast moving.

3:>) Dark pale at low speed (Like U.I 1,2 *PropTex*)

The crew looks very lifelike, you almost think that they will start to talk to each other.

Kudos.

Interestingly, the propellers in the first two shots don't look like that.

The pilot of the Ju-88 does not reach the ruder pedals with his legs!!!

I feel scared about the future of Sow-BoB...

Oleg please check the possibility to implement this technology in SoW-BoB:

The real-time volumetric clouds took only a month to create according to the developer:

I have to say that I’m really pleased with how this turned out. Given the task of finding a way to grow and render fully volumetric, full-sky clouds on regular hardware in real time, with the target ‘look’ being the clouds in these TG2 screenshots (which are rendered offline), all within one month, it was a pretty tall order.

The volume itself is based on a simulation – so you can ’seed’ the atmosphere with humidity and other parameters, and clouds will naturally ‘grow’ into the kinds of interesting shapes you see there – no artists required, yet you still get the ability to dictate the placement and shapes of clouds, rather than placement being random like noise-based methods.

The atmospheric lighting (WindLight) is equally awesome:
