Hi Oleg I was wondering can we get some additional screen shot of the internal mesh
like the ones you posted in the first screen shots of BOB?

I see the spitfires internal mesh and possible damage areas, would like to see the same color coding for the other planes i.e. the 109?

GF,

The following link will take you to some 109 internal structure shots:

Hey thank you very much.

Oleg,
I feel that multi-monitor view is more important than anything else in the future. Because the FOV is so small on one screen, having the sides available to simulate our peripheral vision is not only necessary, but is crazy NOT to have it. Nobody in the real world walks around with goggles on and pilots dont fly with their vision limited. This is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for any modern sim. I am sure that you must have this at the top of your priorities. Please tell us that this will be implemented. After I flew in IL2 with three monitors, I could never go back to one again. Being able to see your wingman and enemies attacking from the sides is a HUGE immersion experience and is CRITICAL. This is 2010!!!
Thanks

I wear glasses. Anything outside them is out of focus. You learn to turn your head.

Multi monitor suport its already implemented. Oleg already stated it answering the same question on one of the friday updates.
You will have to look for which friday update was if you want to see it, because i don´t remember

Hi Oleg, i have 2 questions:

1) How will level-bombing be implemented in SOW?

IL2 makes levelbombing very easy: there is no wind, and temperature and air density profiles don't change on a map, so we can strike point targets from 4000m to 8000m with extreme accuracy (e.g. kill a single tank with SC500 from 4000m). This - although not realistic - makes levelbombing very attractive and useful in online campaigns like AW2.
If we would have truly realistic bombing in SOW, bombruns with 1-4 planes would be quite useless, and people would loose motivation.
Will there be the possibility to level the bombsight? In IL2, any change in plane loadout or elevator trim will influence the aiming point.

2) Will there be a reconnaissance feature? This would be very useful for online campaigns. We're currently "simulating" a reconnaissance photo by turning our smoke on/off when over the target area. Taking a real picture would be great.

SOW looks great so far, looking forward to the release! S!
