Hahaha!

Simply beatiful, the only very slight doubt for me is the second shot, for being a day shot, the planes looks a little dark, and the specular too bright and small.
I saw a watch commercial with a spit and the amplitude of the specular reflections surprised me, wheren't so bright, but more broader, if that's even a word =P
All the others looks 10/10 for me.

I mean, I have to ask: you know in the real world - are you actually meaningfully employed? How come you are allowed unmonitored access to the internet? How many bibs a day do you get through? Are you actually the biggest troll I have ever encountered or am I being mean again to someone who is frankly utterly soft in the head? Is it the attention you crave? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU YOU POOR MAN?

Its the new in game tool where you can record footage then process it to show the recording running smooth, ideal for movie makers.

You obviously dont keep up to date with whats happening, and like i said draw your own conclusions as to why we are not seeing any video.

Oh I do tree: let me tell you I do. I just process the available information with a standard human brain.

I guess you have to draw your own conclusions, but a month away from release and we have seen very little of actual in game video, and what we have seen stuttered like a former King of England. The screenshots were very nice though.

The Kings Speech is actually a good movie. (Catch my drift?)

I have the same question!

I think that's where that little red thing comes out from that indicates that the undercarriage is down.

You seem totally convinced that the game will run poorly.

I prefer to believe that we haven't seen actual ingame footage because the devs choose not to show it.

Besides, if we did see footage, how would you know whether they've used this "remove fps drop tool" or not ? Seems to me you'd just say that they had - so they're probably not showing it because they can't win with you.

Me, I'm happy to wait, secure in the knowledge that Oleg isn't going to release a turkey. And if it does stutter, I'll just turn my settings down ( my pc is decidedly lower end ).
Scalability. IL2 had it too

I never said they used the drop tool, i said draw your own conclusions.

They´re flap indicators.
"Flap position on Spitfires is fully UP or DOWN only, the only indication being two small doors on the upper surface of each wing which are spring loaded flush. These are pushed open by each actuator as the flaps go down, which they do very quickly".
