[Flyby]

isn't the Wellington a non-flyable? just asking.
Flyby out
btw, it looks great!

Can't wait to make some holes in that with my 20mm!

This is Impressive.

Indeed, that looks great. Maybe it will be flyable after all? But on the other hand, if such detail was implemented for an AI-plan - wow!


(IMHO the difference between the fabric covered and metal parts is the main reason why the paint is clipped off so much in these areas )

I'm sooooo looking forward to start playing this game! It will probably cost me my marriage, and be worth it, too..

A couple of questions to anyone who know the Wellington:
- In the third picture, there seems to be two layers of geodectic framework in the windows above the wing. Is it two layers, or is it the internal structure on the oposite side of the cabon we can see?

- Is the tailplane braced forward with some wire, or are those wires additional antennas? Both seems very unlikely...

Thank you for taking the time to post!

Based on this older shot, it seems the window is "attached" on the internal structure:


AFAIK the cables are antennas.

1st: its not even a negative comment.... I never made a negative comment about Oleg's work, I know how programing and coding work, so I dont judge before the final product, and I'm sure it will be awsome.... I always tought

2nd: I know it's to show some effect, I was just wondering at wich state of her life in the game the aircraft will looks like that

Peace

I said that because Oleg said that plane's paint will suffer from the elements.... and if you start with a plane like that... then after 2 months it would be bare skin

A naked Wellington? That's HAWT.

Effectively, the wires in the tailplane are part of a R.3003 antenna, belonging to a Mk.II IFF radio system for IFF purposes.

It isn't an engine shot. Luthier said earlier that Oleg is the only person who can post in-engine shots. That is the reason for low res ground textures and no-elevations. Look at the altitude (2 metres!).
