I live in Kent too I think there is no way to define the flatness. It won't be ruler straight.

Thanks for the update, Oleg.

I have to say that after all the trouble you went to to give us this Friday update with screenshots and a video, considering you were up to your neck in office moving, I don't blame you for getting upset by some of the comments made.
I wouldn't blame you if you decided to walk away from this forum and forget about posting any future updates, but I really hope you don't.
I (and I would guess the vast majority here) really enjoy these updates and your input.

As for the screenshots I like them and can't really see what all the complaints are about.

In every screenshot that shows the terrain there is also an atmospheric haze. If you look at anything through a haze it will lose it's colour. Actually, I think the haze looks very realistic.

The bullet hole in the gun seems quite viable to me. What struck me more about that shot was that the gunner wasn't in a static position as if holding a gun (as Il2 does now). He looks as though he has been wounded, which isn't surprising given the number of bullet holes around his position.

The aircraft, as ever, look fantastic.

The video was very interesting. Had the upper gunner been killed and that is why the other crew were changing positions?

Thanks again for the update. Some of us really do appreciate it.

As someone that play online wars (ghost skies), I think that it would be a good idea to have an option to paint our rudder a particular color.

This may not be historically accurate, but would help us a lot in spotting our wingman.

Could be made as a server side option?

Post one of Oleg's shots for me, that you feel is not correct cloud base...I don't see any way to judge the cloud base shape, because the base is not shown

What I like about the terrain is for the first time you can see definition, landsculpturing from a distance at altitude.
One can only imagine what it will be like down low and fast with a 109 glued to your arse...
The dead crew member is again something great to see, more immersion.
Also look at the level of detail in the distance. It is amazing.
Imagine flying the BoB as an Italian fighter jock

What bothers me is the having to find fault. Some people can't just take an update and say it looks good; for some reason, they must have a criticism. I'd hate to know these people in real life - I would avoid them like the plague.

Is it just that the internet allows people to say things they wouldn't in real life? I think so. Nevertheless, I wish I was an admin. I'd be banning left right and centre.

3rd set, shot 2 and 5. It's faintly clear here

Sorry, poorly worded from me the same is true everywhere (at least every-where I've been)

Obviously some clouds will differ, but usually the cloud base/bottom is quite profound.

OK, this may answer the question.
This 3rd party app is something that I think should be considered for SoW, in the same way that speed-tree is used currently:



As can be seen, the flat-bottom isn't necessarily ruler straight, but is a lot more defined that the current SoW models.
Notice the lighting too.
