This screenshot of the smoke is most impressive. It seems we will have large areas of smoke instead of a few small columns.

Thanks for all the answers Ilya. It's really heart-warming to see the project still going ahead full steam

Do you guys happen to have any estimates for a release date, BTW, or is it still too early for that?

Curious if the new engine will use Direct X now that DX11 is available. I know Oleg is partial to OpenGL.

See Luthiers post above... SOW will not be using OpenGL

With that screenshot, I can image a shadow of a 190 in the middle of that sunny area across my cockpit dashboard - then everything goes black.

Kudos to the first person to do a SOW movie with that sequence of events.

Hello Oleg

Glad to hear you and your son are feeling better, flu is such a time waster for those who are working hard. And we all know how hard you work!

Wonderful shots of the sim, it really gives you a sense of how detailed it will be.

Especially in the overhead shots looking down, you really get a sense of what is below you, no more squinting and going to max zoom to spot things. The difference between this Sim and IL-2 is that you are really going to feel like you are flying about a real ground, with real vehicles and terrain below.

The whole sim is going to be so much more immersive for that reason. It will be approach photo-realism in that sense.

As far as complaints about the cleaness of the planes, I think if you compare the 110 and the Spitfire in the overhead shots, you can tell one has the weathering in place, the other is obviously the clean 'new' model.

I would agree with the comments from some that the terrain colours are almost too bright, but I am sure you will be adjusting those values.

Thanks for these pictures, we are eagarly waiting for the next update.
