Purple and pink tints would not be uncommon in England -- on heaths at least where heather predominates.

Yellow-tinted areas also would not be rare on uncultivated land (gorse), even very lurid yellows (rapeseed) would be seen occasionally on farmland.

Hedgerows are not there, there are highway wide roads instead, this does not look right either. If we can't have 3D trees on the edges, at least have green textures there, no grey highways.

Indeed, lavender is a crop in some parts of England (particularly Norfolk), though it is something of a niche crop. Not sure how widespread it was in the 1940s. Given the pressure for food crops, I imagine its appeal at the time would have been more limited.

Flax is another colourful crop.

Flax used to be more common in England than it is now.
So, while the bluish/purplish cast of some fields may appear odd, it is perfectly defensible.

The hedgerows, however, are a cucial part of England's landscape, particularly in the south (in the north dry-stone walls are more the rule (http://halfpie.net/article/152/dry-stone-walls)

Post-WW2 farming developments have resulted in the widespread 'grubbing-out' (destruction) of hedgerows, so what you see on GoogleEarth no longer represents the density of what you would have seen in the 1940s.

Being a relatively flat landscape, you don't often get the distant views in south-eastern England that you do in the mountains. One that struck me when I was about four is Farthing Corner just north of Hythe, in Kent. Here's am image I took this July (over forty years later). The role of hedgerows is unmistakeable. All over this part of Kent, the trees on both sides of the road meet overhead creating 'green tunnels' of surpassing beauty.

So what is he trainig on and what's his favourite?

He like the plane where is following:

cannons,
rockets
bombs
rear gunner to keep his back
stable platform

In this case he fly for now Il-10 in Il-2 1946.

However he is not able to land yet. So he prefer to start in air and to finish there as well.

Hope in time he will understand the diffeences in planes and will learn other advantages for the different situations. He need to get experience.

At home I haven't yet PC that to run good FPS in BoB. Say RoF also can't run on my son PC in principle and my notebook - too slow.
I plan to buy for me new PC for home only when BoB will be released.
Same I suggest to all users really. Its why I still don't tell any specs.
Because I'm waiting myself to get it running very good at least at home .

Just realised that I've never flown the Il10, so I just quickly jumped over to 46 (it was running in the background while I was browsing the forum) and had a look, I totally missed the fact that it was added in 46 and with the later style of cockpit render, I'll now have to take it for a spin (figuratively speaking but maybe literally also) .

Thanks also for the unofficial specs you just let slipp

Thanks for stopping by today Oleg. Your responses are much appreciated.

I hope some big graphics card manufacturer is reading this...a very generous one I hope!

Thanks for another great update Oleg. It's always a great treat after a long week at work to see the images reflecting the progress you and your team are making on SoW.

On Monday we should compile the version for NVIDIA.
They will make/check separate drivers that to show their new equipment with SoW at exhibition in Moscow in the beginning of November in our showroom. That will be demonstration fro my hands and not for all yet.

Awesome, will you show us some high-ranged DX 11, AA, All maxed out (if possible ) of that event?

You said there will be seperate EXE for 64 bit support.
Will SoW BoB make use of for example 8 GB Ram?


Bye, Heck
