thx for the update,

very nice trees

@last pic, first batch - the angle of the gondola MG looks a little bit extreme. Is the MG in thsi shot tracking the figther?
Will the travel of the guns be limited by the 3D framing?

... and apparently nobody dares to ask, so i'll do, is it possible to get a probable release date?

thx in advance

First shot makes me fear about my Real Life after this sim is released.
The trees now are showing quality usually seen in FPS games, totally unusual for flight similuation standard.
VERY impressive indeed.
It isn´t the case that we care too much about trees, like someone complains about.
Trees are just a detail in this sim, the problem is: SOW is all about details.
I think that we all are "detail junkies"

Thank you oleg and team,i can finally leave for a weekend out, and switch off my computer, nammy stuff, and i see the intention of the last 2 shots with the trees and leaves,the tree debate is over .

Nice as always, what is the status on the game?
I assume as we all do an 2010 release isn't realistic anymore? (Don't mind if you prove me wrong)

Very nice update Oleg and Team!

Is it just me or does this update have some AA applied to the images? They seem less jaggy, or maybe just taken from higher graphics settings than the past few weeks?

Anyways they look great! That cockpit shot is unreal, and I also like how the trees look in the last few shots. Very detailed. It will be so nice to fly low and actually worry about avoiding actual trees or using them in dogfights compared to a flat tree mesh thing. Great job guys!

.....looks so immersive and atmospheric, the light and glare on the cockpit glass, wow, fantastic. Hope you had a good holday Oleg, clear of all that smog; are we on the home run to a release now?

I believe the expression that you're searching for here is, "home stretch," vs. home run. Having said that, we all hope it's in the home stretch... It looks to be a home run when it comes out!
