Oleg,

A small observation which I feel is important enough to mention......

I've noticed that in most SoW shots of Spits and Hurricanes in level flight, the pilot looks like he's leaning backwards with his head on the head rest. I'm sure there were times when this body position was used (perhaps in high G situations) but almost all the original photos I've seen have the pilot with his body well forward of the head rest, almost leaning forward. It would be great if you could tweak the pilot posture to replicate this. Much better looking in my opinion.

Thanks

SoW body posture followed by several original shots......

Can I please have the adress of your office where I can send you a proper pc so that you can show the public the whole beauty of the sim in the weekly screenshots and videos? It's worth that for me.

I agree...In fact for the updates, both Luthier and Oleg would need a new PC

You should send them 2 of these :

Very good observation. I've almost believed that only me would have seen that. I also think that spitfire pilots are leaning backwards too far.

That was WIP. I think Oleg told some time ago it's corrected now.

It is slightly worrying that no-one at 1C as got a PC good enough to show us any video, and there were no PC's good enough at the Russian exhibition to show SOW running without turning into a slide show at certain points.

For Oleg, you said two years ago in an interveiw that the game was 80% completed, in percentage terms could you tell us where we are today? many thanks.

I think Oleg has very good reasons for not posting videos. With a video you get to see everything, even features that are being held back for that WOW factor on release. It may be possible to remove these key elements but that could require time consuming reconfiguration or recompilation. Same with the sound effects - I think there are key features of the new sound engine that Oleg doesn't want to reveal until release (perhaps for competitive reasons, perhaps to give us a few pleasant surprises).

I'm quite happy with this situation, I think the WOW factor at release time is important to get a buzz going and increase word of mouth sales.

In terms of sound effects, I'm really hoping one day to hear engine sounds that vary with engine load at the same RPM. When exercising the propeller in a ground test it would be great to hear the sound of the prop biting into the air and the engine loading up as the pitch increases. I live several miles from an RAF base and can easily hear the distinctive sound of the props being exercised before they take off. Anyway, not expecting this kind of thing at release but would be nice one day.
