That 109 looks terrifying coming down on that gun position. I really like the ground effects. Fun video.

Will planes that had a rearview mirror in real life get one in the sim too?
I noticed in this vid and also in the promo vid that the Hurricane has no rearview mirror. I think they had them in real life.

It is possible with some kind of difficulty settings.

Did you just jump from a Hurricane to a Stuka in game?

That's awesome... (presuming that's a single-player feature and not a Dev privilege)

Nice screenies, thanks!

EDIT: I'm too slow, thanks for the response Oleg!

OMG I just wet myself.

Wow if you can do additional promo shots with that kind of "old" HW then its pretty impressive. Wonder what would happen if you fly closer to land.

Hmm I thought that was just a minor gfx bug at first. But thx for the clarification.

[T}{OR]

Love the shots (can't watch the video as YT is blocked at my university), especially the locomotive shooting.

May I ask what is the status of dynamic weather? There has been some talk on other forums that it won't make the initial release because it causes a huge FPS hit.

Thanks.

Ah, were the settings maxed out in the vid. Was AA and AF turned on?
Were the screenies made on that system?

Will there be the 64 bit exe in the initial release?
