Foobar, I was just about to post to say to have a look at your great site! Cheers mate
Will you add any pictures too?

I am nearly speechless. I didn't check this forum until today, not really expecting any updates based on what Oleg said last week, and it looks like I missed out on a lot of news since yesterday. The cockpits and the dynamic lighting look fantastic. I guess they should since that would be what we see the most of. The clip were the debris hits the windscreen and cracks it looks very convincing.

So to be clear, it looks like we're getting Storm of War initially and then at some unknown (right?) point later we're getting Battle for Moscow and another unknown add-on concurrently? I'd love to see MG rewind a bit and depict the air combat of the Polish and French campaigns.

Was the "accidental" showing of Pacific Fighters presentation files truly an accident or might we read more into that?

I'm also looking forward to hearing an explanation regarding the lass in the cockpit. That was unexpected, to be sure.

I'd assume it was there as it was in last week's update. i.e. as a showing of the developer's pedigree to date.

In that update, Mr Maddox hinted at the posting of a further video in next week's update.

Personally, I hope that's going to be the Su26 vid shown at the show.

Oh yes...................

I think stills are less interesting this friday

Yes, the videos are in a class of their own (save for the sometimes poor camera quality)

From Russia with love:

- 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...

Actually, it's a head-on attack by an Me 110.

My guess is SOW:Battle of Britain, SOW:Mediterranean, then SOW:Moscow....in that order. Otherwise, why would 1C have invested so much effort into including Italian Regia Aeronautica aircraft into BofB, when the RA contributed almost nothing to the the BofB. For the Med Theater of Operations in 1940, however, he already has available (in SOW:BofB) the RA BR20, CR42, G50, and all the early RAF birds, Spits, Hurri's, etc.

He just needs a map of North Africa (Libya-Egypt front, which is lots of desert, and Malta) and he can immediately put a SOW:Mediterranean on the shelf for sale...expanding aircraft types in a subsequent Med-1942 release/patch. SOW:Moscow would require an extensive array of new Russian aircraft and more complex new maps.

Just a guess...imho.
