Thats what i thought but some of the two engine pics only have one bar?

The HE-111 only has one bar etc

well, most propably the autor was sitting in a singleengined plane but made screenshot from other planes in the outside view.
See the Wellington, the throttle is at idle, and the Wellingot is not flyaable in CoD.
So, he perhaps was still on the runway, but switched in outside view to other aircraft in the mission.

Yes, didn't even think of that :/ nice one.

That shot with the Wellington's is my favourite.

Perhaps Furbs could set this in the update thread?

Done.

Is the BF109 pilot new?

Pilot looks bigger and sat upright? ( unless it's an old pic)

not like the stupid Spitfire pilots who are all laid back..I wince to myself everytime I see the Spit pilot...

and nice to see what Oleg's modern civilian flightsim will look like !!

Interesting pics Rodolphe. Looks like the issues with weathering not being applied properly to markings is solved now, this looks very convincing to me.

Видеокарта: GeForce GTX460 1GB
Звуковая карта: SB Creative X-Fi
ОС: Win 7 Professional

and according to the article max settings only gave u a few fps off line but online (with much smaller map) 50-70 fps.

Cool if true.


Maby not 50-70 but still much higher due to smaller map.

is that the 64bit Win7 or 32?

I think (?) the Spitfire pilots may be new now too - see the shot with the Spit with open canopy over the convoy.

Pilot looks bigger here too.

It's an option for engine management.

(Can't find the post just now - was from around the time of the exhaust stack flame debate.....) Luthier posted some screenies of a Hurricane with 3 of those sliders - for throttle (marked with letter 'T' in today's screenies), mixture and propellor pitch (I think).

So, obviously can set up to have as many as you want - or none.
