I've just noticed the different types and densities of smoke in the Spit shot. I'm a happy guy.

PLEASE LORD, do NOT let this devolve into a DRM thread!
I beseech you! Ee're only on page 6, it's too early to burden us with such a topic!

Great update! I really like the shots of the vehicles passing through the village and can't wait to cross the Channel on my first 'rhubarb'. The second shot of the Spitfire is my favourite, hats off the the modeller for getting the shape pretty damn spot on.

Superb pics though

What about unlimited ammo?

Or a wingman?

Of course, the most wanted solution always comes first

Some real 'meat' coming on these updates now, well done gents

Are craters going to be 3D or just a texture?

If I drop a large bomb in the path of a ground vehicle, will it have to drive around the crater, or will it just go over top of it, like it wasn't even there?

On the third ground shot, the windows of the second house look a little blurred.
Is that heat haze from the vehicle engine?
I know this is a flight sim but this shot really had me drooling.
It looks like the lane where me ma lives!

That's simply the absence of more advanced texture filtering (like trilinear or anisotropic). You can see the border to the next lower LOD on the first building already. Enabling this will also provide a major improvement to medium-distance building textures like with last week's London shot.

Agreed though that it's looking great

Thanks for the update Oleg!
