It's looking great, I love the bit of video of the Su-26, but....

I just wish I could see one shot, one short clip, of bad weather.

Of any weather, come to think of it, besides the brightest of summer's days and the fluffiest of cotton wool clouds.

I think we've seen a single picture of something approaching an overcast (with a Wellington) but then the same thing from a different angle revealed the cloud coverage to be very limited.

If it's there, someone, anyone, please show it! Weather played a HUGE role in 1940.

Awesome videos and screenshots; this is enough for 10 Friday updates IMHO.
It's great to see everything pieced together, and the fact that the game can even run on such a system with adequate fps over water is excellent IMO (and with max graphics...)

There's nothing more to say, really; I'm in awe. This is finally tangible (although maybe Mystipuma thought that in 2006?)

If it came out then it couldn't look like this though. Just think of what the movie makers and skinners can do with this beauty. After all the best movie makers and skinners all fly IL-2....let's face it.

Exciting times at last, seems it's right around the corner now
Thankfully i wasn't wrong to believe and hope that the sum of all features shown in an isolated fashion in static screenshots, finally ends up being more than the sum of its parts when seen integrated and in motion.

The way i read this? "You'll be able to change your ammunition belting as you see fit".

If this is what google translate means, then that's some pretty good news...no tracers, swoop in and rake them with 20mm fire while they are totally unaware of what's happening

Yup. No upgrade for me. I have an i7 920 (not OC'ed) with 3GB of RAM and an Ati 4890 1GB running winXP 32bit. Actually, the 3GB i got because i didn't want to touch Vista with a 10-foot pole back when i bought it, so i had to stay under the 4GB limit. Also, it made sense due to the i7's/mobo tripple channel feature, so i got 3 sticks of 1GB each.

It's not the best gaming PC out there but judging from the PCs they were running on the show, i guess it has the "oomph" to do the job.

The 4890 does DX10 and as i doubt tesselation will factor in heavily for now, i don't care about getting a DX11 card yet. A few months ago i have also installed win7 64bit on a second disk so i'm good to go. In fact if i get anything at all, it will probably be an extra 3GB of RAM and that will be it for some time.

True. We don't know how the monitors are calibrated (if they are calibrated at all) and this image is then fed through crappy phone cameras sporting a tiny lens, or a proper videocamera to which we still don't know the specs and how they affect further distortion of the image.

The only way to know how it will look on our PCs is have someone FRAPS it at full detail and send us the .avi to play back on our own screen. Chill out people

That's probably smoke from the guns firing.

From Russia with love:

Quote:
- When you look through the scope, you can not turn my head more than 45% (approx)
- Skill of bots is now defined by a set of characteristics: a review, the tactics, aerobatics, etc. situation is possible when the bot sees well, but as soon merges fight. I'm in a duel in the opponent was a bot who was obviously ill with the review. He did not see me until the moment of firing at him, after leaving me to a split, he immediately lost me again and flew in a straight line to a new attack on it.
- A decrease in speed begin to notice the visual lobe
- With a dive to sleep on the maximum thrust too Unscrew the screws and lamp immediately began to swim in butter, until the complete loss of visibility
- The sun must be blind, but on the last day it broke by accident
- The flame burns through skin
- During a flight without a separate cockpit displays aircraft which shows damage to various systems with the degree of damage
- Still remembered that in the settings of control is a button "to weaken the belt." Accordingly, when the weakened belts angles of rotation of the head more, but shakes his head when maneuvering stronger
- Watched the view from the cockpit under the water, really like under water)). not included in the silt look at falling into the water.
- Asked Elijah if still planned to implement a delay to the actions of pilots, well, that is, as if the pilot pulls the hand and it takes time and, accordingly, abort the previous action in the performance of the new. Ilya said that this is sort of implemented. I myself did not check, was forgotten once the flights.
Sounds to me like there was simply a bug with the sun glare effect. Some interesting info otherwise as far as it's understandable...

Regarding Kraken's post:

Geez, the little details they are modelling are amazing. Loosening the safety harness for better visibility at the increased risk of body movement during hard maneuvering is pretty neat.

By "flame burns through skin" are we to infer that fire will now dynamically burn through aircraft aluminum?
