It's probably a photo taken with a camera pointed at the tv screen, maybe that's why the screen looks so dark. That might be a photo from long ago. Another thing that looks really good is the reticle how it's transparent on the edges, and I bet the hole thing shifts transparency as your head bobs and weaves around the cockpit from the g-forces.

We all know the cockpit is going to look good. Remember this?

I'm sure it won't be that dark. Why would they let the whole game look awesome except the cockpit?

A good example.
If you told me that this screen belongs to a FSX addon I may believe you.
But not it is from BOP!!


Please fix the cockpit!!!!

I think some of it will be dark just because of the era, nothing was bright and colorful then.

I remember that picture too.

There was concern about the game being to dark, earlier, because a video made it look dark. It was dark because the video was captured by a camera filming the tv screen instead of using a direct connection.

Graphically this game looks AMAZING!! And the guns sound ace!

But im not seeing much of a sim here. These arcade mode videos make the game look like Blazing Angels. What's with the videos on the bottom right of the screen? And why can we hear German radio chatter? We really need to see some videos of sim mode.

I would really like to see some vids of sim mode as well. I can't really blame them tho for only showing arcade cause anyone who is looking forward to sim mode is gonna buy this game anyway. They need to convince those gamers who don't love flight sims to buy this game to make it successful and lock up the development of a sequel.

Looking great indeed!!! Looks quick and responsive aswell. Is this running at 60 fps?! You can see he has to make tiny adjustments, the plane seems quite sensitive even in arcade mode.. thats good I guess..

Excellent job Anton and your team! We all see a potentially amazing game in the screenshot and videos, but are growing impatient for some Sim-mode details!!

good thing with the music playing ingame also, Jeremy Soule did an amazing job with the tunes I've heard so far!
damn, I will probably buy this game even if there is no Sim-mode
*cross fingers for hard-HARDcore sim*

We will have to wait for confirmation but I guess when you select a target that little window shows you who you are targeting. I don't know about the german chatter.
