Oleg, are the clouds shown final? They look quite nice, but IMHO are a bit grey? Also, they still look quite cotton-ballish. I hope this makes sense. I am sure it can be a feature that will always be tweaked from release, but this is just my two pence. Have a great weekend

that's my original post. I think it got blown way out of proportion.

Not at all. Thats very constructive in my opinion. Its wen people say something completely unnecessary on top of that to down on the developers. Like saying that "its not up to standards and that a child could have done better." Thats what i call rude....

Personally, I think that the main reason Oleg posts here is because he is an aviation enthusiast who likes to interact with other aviation enthusiasts. He has of late taken to sharing his passion with this community on a large scale, and I for one appreciate it.

Oleg has given this community unprecedented access to himself and his life over the last ten plus years, to the point where many of us feel like he is an old friend. I for one don't want to see it stop, so I'm not going to contribute to the Bull any more. I'm simply going to start adding names to my ignore list, and I hope Oleg does the same.

Good bye to those of you who I've put on my list, it's been fun, but it's time to move on.

& Nearmiss or Oleg. Is it possible for the video to be posted in the original post on the first page? Thankyou

Oleg,

Thanks again for another great update. Amazed you found time to do with an office move.

Are those first set of screen shots over the Isle of Wight , south coast of UK? The southern point cliffs are a little too severe, other than that the topology/terrain is just perfect. Needs the light houses are St Catherine's and the Needles too

Looks great man! I'm eagerly waiting for it. Hopefully soon!

I'm thinking how it rework a bit... the second one.... and more and more see that Il-2 system was the best really.... But in Il-2 system is impossible to control some absolutely new things..

Some "non fixed" camera is in plan. But not ready. First we should fix the bugs, then try to think about such additional for filmmakers features.

Oleg,

One viewpoint I have found to be working really nice in another sim is one where the camera flies behind the target airplane (time offset of aircraft track).
Sharp turns will send the target aircraft out of view, but this adds to the dynamic properties of the shot.

Otherwise thank you for the updates

Looks great. Thank you for the screenshots, video, and your efforts.

Thank you for the update, Oleg. It is much appreciated.

I know the shots are still WIP, and that the best is yet to come.

Have a nice weekend.

why google when i look out the window every day.

seriously, you say flat, and it implies completely flat. or do you just mean that they have a bottom more like ~ than _
