Oleg,

In almost all period photos I've seen you don't see pilots with their goggles down. My feeling is that they obstructed vision and were used in the brief periods of combat only.

Will it be possible to see pilots with the goggles up at all?

Thanks

Good one

Yeah, I think we should delay the release of the product just so the pilots goggles get moved to the top of their heads. And while they're at it, please make sure they have stubble on their chins in the evening only 'cause in the morning they'd be clean shaven.

COD wont top REX II ´s cloud system.

Of course it will, unless all you do is take static screenshots where 2D bitmaps look good as backgrounds.

What do REX clouds look like when you fly up in and around them? An awful mess of 2D plates interleaved with each other. This isn't a dig at REX in particular, just the limited FSX cloud system.

No thankyou!

I'd take a true 3D system any day, even if it doesn't look quite as good in a static screenshot. It makes all the difference when you're dancing around among them.

Look at the self shadowing Spitfire video. The particle light effects on the clouds are brilliant. WAY more immersive than an FSX mess.

Cheers, Spinner

The planes look stunning as usual, we just need a high end PC now Oleg so we can see the landscape in all it's glory. Please stop teasing us!

Screens are nice, but landscape should be improved

I think JG is right, they're blast pens on an airfield, not birds. I'm sure we'll see a few birds with time though.

No one is suggesting delaying anything. This is a weekly opportunity to provide relevant feedback that's all.
