Amazing Shot's Oleg have you finsihed the singel player map's yet and are you still going for a 2010 release? Anyway looks good I am really looking fowerd to it.

Awesome screenshots Oleg, don't know if i can keep my sanity if the game doesn't come out this year .

A question, for first person view, when getting an oil leak will we see oil spray up on the windsheild or will it be more like a splash-decale like in IL2?

Anyway great work, can't wait.

Real volumetric smoke, it looks fabulous!

- ...But almost looks wrong after I have been getting used to the lovely "cheat" in Il-2, with rotating disks standing in for smoke. Together with the multiple texture layers of dense forests, that was one of the best programming tricks in Il-2, to create a believable world with the few computing resources we had available in 2001.

I wonder which programming tricks there will be in SoW:BoB to create a believable world. There will be many and they'll be very clever I think!

Thank you for this wonderful update.
There are so many great screenshots to look over.
I am very anxious to see what the in game movies will look like in the future

Fantastic shots- they are coming together very well.
Regarding the shot of the Hurricane close to the two Stukas- in the finished game, will the gunners be looking at their enemy?
In Il2, it is simply a modelling of the head turning- it would look awesome to see the gunner straining to force their gun into position to take the shot. In the shot you've given us the Hurricane would be outside the arc of the gun.

There are so many things to marvel at in your shots- the sun glint off the windows, the modelling of the propellors, the shadows being cast on the models..... your colour pallet looks very accurate and keeps getting better.
Well done, and keep going!

This game is going to cost me my marriage! I will spend so many hours just flying around, looking at things!

A little weird that the battle of brittain only lasted a few months, but I will be playing out his battle for years..
