I think that's because the Spitfire we see the most of is an AI aircraft, maybe?

Beautiful video Oleg!

But one thing: I know this is WIP, and so I hope the tracer is too. Because unlike how it is modelled in Il-2, the tracer for the .303's had intermittent smoke patterns (or it looked intermittent) but nonetheless the tracer the British used had smoke trails to it.

Awesome update.

I think it adds immersion myself, an option for either would be nice.

More rubbish talk from the usual rubbish dump...........






Oleg ,
Thanks for video update. Really enjoyed the nose-on views of the Dornier....

[IceFire]

For a work in progress this is spectacular. It's brilliant to start to see things come together. No doubt that is the case for the entire team to be able to get things up and running and experience things like that.

The tracers and the large muzzle flash effects definitely look like a work in progress but that is perfectly ok for this stage. Just seeing things in motion is great. Keep it coming!

Next, add some dirt to the plastic polished surfaces.

As an example of lighting, clouds and sea, very nice....could we see, in the next video, footage showing how much it is possible to change the aircraft skins with the new 4096x4096 templates?

Thanks for the update.

Cheers, MP

These weekly waits for very brief updates are torture

As great as it is to see an in game video, 25 seconds is waaaaay too short, youtube will do 10 minutes you know, and it is Easter

Thanks gentlemen. Nice work, as usual, and it's great to see your efforts coming together. I loved the lighting details in the video. I can't wait to see DX 10 or 11 clips.

Thanks again.

[Erkki]

Wow. Excellent work again, mr. Oleg!

...and whats WIP is WIP, right?

Looks great

I very much hope we get the same or maybe an improved fmb camera set up as we have now in il2 , being able to place the cameras where you want them is a must for people wanting to make movies out of these sims please dont forget to include this valuable extra in Sow Oleg , as for the buffeting it would be a nice option , but only as an option.
