I know, but they may not choose to work on it...

Texture quality aside (AF should still make a major difference even without any further updates), I find the terrain mesh quality amazing, both down low and far away. I don't know any sim which renders such far-away details like the cliffs on the lower edge of image #5 with such quality.

Good point, but the pilot is more in shot than ground vehicles. All the same, I can see what you mean Although I'd hate to see a RAF pilot in Luftwaffe kit and vice-versa

Since no one else seemed to bother, i'll just say a hearty THANK YOU to Rodolphe for identifying those vehicles! - Much better contribution to this thread than all those "crap this crap that" postings...

BTW, the plane making the attack on the Heinkel is a Hurricane. I thought this might be helpful LOL

This is what we need - to die like heroes!
Not to play games!

Oleg, please, note how the antena cable of the Ki-43 fluctuates /at 6:48 sec. very clearly visible/ on the wind over the head of the Japanese fighter pilot. Also note that there is no huge flames, when the aircraft is hit, when small caliber machine guns are used...

~Cheers!

I posted an excellent late war guncam clip in colour and HG/Jumo supplied a better version. It really is worth a look if you missed it

BG-09 , I hope you're aware of the fact that video you posted is from a movie with mix of some
real flyby footage , some staged flying footage and almost all very closer cockpit footage is actually
not in air but staged on the ground edited with skies background , if you take a closer look you should
be able to see how pretty bad footage it is in some instances , there was no CGI back in time
A lot of footage was also staged just for the movie , almost useless video for any references
