That Stuka is quite something and that last video with the sunset or sunrise with the 110 looks fantastic

Here are some old IL-2 2001 screens.

Correct that - "are an absolutely brilliant"

On my older PCs you can still feel the sparkly. I think they're wonderful. The only issue I have is running into them from the sides (naturally).

Those screenies sure bring back memories. I remember how bloody hard it was to bring down am IL2 with that 109F-2, but how rewarding in the end. I'm just as stoked to try SOW for the first time as I was IL2, and I still remember that far from being disappointed, it was actually better than I thought it would be (and my expectations were high!)

Quite a few heavy bugs.
For example the crash of two planes. The hurri goes through the bomber as if it was air and the propeller still works.

Fortunately, Oleg still has a lot of time to fix that stuff.

There at exhibition were set of Easy settings. There is option - no collision. Maybe we will remove it.

Yes there are still many bugs in beta. I told it myself several times.

I think you probably weren't around playing flight sims in 2001 when Il-2 came out, but the graphics blew everything else out of the water back then. And the particular solution for forests is still a very clever one.

You have to know something about programming and system resources to understand why flight sims look the way they do. A handful of teenage kids in this forum haven't got a clue, but most have an idea...

Correct.
And many copied this technology. Some even for clouds .

I think it looks great. Hope you got lots of good/usefull feedback from the show.

Hope you had a good sleep Oleg

BoB looks like it is going to be immense!
