I would like to add to this request as well - something featuring bombsight perhaps? Or anything bombardier and level bombing related.

Especially - will we have any control over the crew? In terms of giving orders: "engage any nearby planes" vs. "engage only incoming/attacking planes", and open / cease fire etc.

ohh yes, the Bombsight, is this a Lofte 7B in the He111, screenshots will be fine

Hi Oleg a few weeks back you said you had some video to show us, is that likely to happen?

Aww......!

The fabric of the parachute between the cords is a very sharp angle.

Is it planned to make this fabric appear more rounded, or is this limited by something technical?

Thanks for the screenshots!

It's nice to see no straight line where the fire and flame touch the aircraft.
The fire is incredibly nice.

great photos.
I really like the calendar.
Here is hoping that the calendar is available to more than just Russia

Very nice pictures but I don't like the new 'update posting strategy' that consists in not showing anything that could be criticized (clouds, ground textures, wheather effects)

When do we get a movie ?
I'm affraid that the bad FPS due to a lack of fine tuning is the reason why we don't get any new video. (In the last viedo the FPS was unacceptable for a gameplay)

Very very nice!

I really like the smoke just as it is. Very impressive in the way it meets the hurricane's wing and the smoke trail is nice and long-
The detail of the hurri's underside (rivets etc...) is so nice and clear. The new skins look fantastic...

As always, the screenshots look great.

Apollogies for making this offtopic question that came to my mind when i saw this screenshot from another thread:



I remember long time ago that was requested for IL-2 some kind if limited external views for coop and dogfight missions. Something like if you are shot down or landed, you can switch to a fixed chase view, or inside cockpit view of friendly aircrafts. This was to give players the possibility to see some limited action of the mission when downed, but without allowing them to "cheat" by giving extra information to his companions by seeing more that the pilot itself when you have external views allowed.
Well, from the screenshot it seems we won't have something like this, that is why i would like te re-request this for the future (not necesarely now for the release) because its something i find entertaining for coop missions on virtual squads. Also would allow the server player to have something to do if he is shot down until he can terminate the mission (it happened to me several times ).

Thanks again, and as always great work.


P.S.: i can't make the image to be displayed as a thumbnail!. How can i do that?.
Apollogies to all for the excesive size of the image!

I can't wait to see this in motion
Really looking like promotional screens that could be on the back of the box

+1!
Great suggestion! That would be really good for passing the time when you've been shot down and are waiting for friends to finish a "full real" coop mission and can hear that they are involved in some heavy action...
