Observations:
1:10/1:11 - Splash in the sea. One would have expected an expanding ring (texture) that would have disolved in 3-4 seconds.
2:43/2:44 - A halo around the aircraft, when smoke envelopes the plane
3:17 - Cockpit in the mirror has some flashing happening. Shadow or canopy.

If that's all I can "complain" about, it's great and beautiful. Ready for 'Gold', as it would not stop anyone buying it.
I agree about the splash; it looked fake. But I'd imagine this is very WIP. It'd make sense, as most of the effects still look as though they are being heavily finetuned. I'd imagine this will be an ongoing process right until, and after, release.

I imagine what we are seeing here is already out of date!

Can we expect sth more from from it than circular textured waves?
I'm wondering if it's possible to get shaped waves instead.

Yeah.

Rewatching the clip, I also noticed at 2:35 that the impacts are behind the Blen. Or is something else going on? Hmmm...

Some aircraft cannon shells have a self destruct fuse. I remember I read somwhere a distance of 1100 meters/3 seconds mentioned as self distruct distance for 20mm Mg151 shells. I could be wrong about the distance and of course the MG-FF may have a different fuse.
That's what you see in the clip. The 109 was around that range and his shells exploded just under the Blem, but stil do nice damage.

Hey Luthier, can you tell me what the specs of the machine that rendered the Igromir video were?

Thx

What? This is just IL-2!

....


Just kidding!!!

Oleg, this looks fantastic.

I wish your critics would get jobs in software development (working on complex, large scale projects), so they would understand what you have been showing them in these updates. No one is more aware of flaws in software than developers (almost always), and the compromises that must be made.

In 10 years or so, if/when you do another game with a new engine, would you post screenshots of WIP? You have gotten valuable feedback on things like labels and model errors (such as the Bf 110), but there has been a real negative chorus. I can't help but wonder if you think it is more trouble than it is worth. As much as I have enjoyed them, and look forward to them.

Correct. It is shown exactly. The explosions not under the aircraft but on long distance before his nose really.
