About planes (Spitfire and Hurricane).
I've asked our planes art-director.

The game has:
Hurricane Mk.IIb, Spitfire Mk.II, Mk.IX, Mk.XVI.

Spitfire Mk.II has NOT authentic camouflage (skin). The skin it has was used later, not during Battle for Britain.
The reason was the following:
In the begining of the game (Battle for Britain is the first chapter), we wanted to provide more differences for a new plane. The original skin was too close to Hurricane's, so the casual player probably wouldn't recognise, that he is now flying on a different plane (especially in arcade mode, where flight model is more forgiving).
The game appeals to both broad and hardcore audience. However, we were not able to make two assets for a game - we had limited resources.

I hope, that answers questions.

Good!

However, I still think that having the 100% correct aircraft would make this game that much more better.

Thanks for the info Anton. Would it be possible to have the correct skins available in a download pack in the same way that you can get character skins for Little Big Planet?

Not the same way, of course.
But game is supporting DLC.

OK, so it is an option...?

The DLC releases and DLC release schedule will depend on how game performs and our publisher. Not only on us.

OK, thanks for being so helpful.

those screens sure look awesome!
I'm afraid tho, that they are being rendered with higher quality settings than we'll see during actual play.
probably the texture resolution, texturefiltering, the antialiasing and the plane models have the highest LOD in these screenshots.

like this screen from Halo3

If you played Halo3 you that it does not look that good during play

I hope BoP have some antialiasing on the planes during play, but dont think the xbox/ PS3 are very good at that

These are new pics for me. Looks absolutely stunning again for me!
