Friday 2010-09-10 Dev. update and Discussions

First part of update, frame 2 we see the trees have evacuated St James's Park. In frame 4 we find them marching towards the coast, across fields and by the sides of roads. In part two frame 4 we see that they have reached the coast and are desperately awaiting rescue by small ships!
Oleg why are the trees running away?

Another great update.
Keep up the fantastic work.

In the second set of screenshots, the one with the three 109s starting up, there is a windmill above the rearmost 109's tail with it's sails in the "+" position.

... superb spot. You've gotta love the detail!

Last week's railway was wrong. The problem wasn't the rolling stock, it was the unfenced, unhedged tracks and the ungated level crossings.

I found a couple of links to magazines, I'm not aiming to sell them, just to point out that they exist, and that there is a market for them. I saw some copies of the first in a doctor's waiting room, so I know it's not a web only situation.

I hope posting these isn't against the rules, I unreservedly apologise if so.

The UK's passion for steam trains should not be underestimated.

I am a flight enthusiast first, and not very enthusiastic about railways at all, so I can put up with the current state of railways in SoW, those people may not be so forgiving, though perhaps not many of them are flight simulator users.

Thank you Oleg...its nice to have you back.

I really like how the cityscape is shaping up...fantastic! And the Me109 cockpit is looking as impressive as the Spitfire.

Yes, maybe he was out, inspecting a Spitfire factory or something.

Having said that, did they fly the Royal Standard during the war?
It might have been a bit of a give away as to where the King was and a threat to his safety.
It's amazing what this forum makes you think about.

As has been posted, the pilots in the 109s seem bigger then last weeks hurricane pilot, but still way to small.

Just to add, the windmill blades do rotate.

oh my god... or something like that

The screens look awesome!!
The trees look almost perfect and I really like the mist, really realistic, the shadows the trees cast on the ground look perfect as well, you can see them really well from the air.
I really like how you can see how fast the prop is spinning when it starts in the 7th shot. Even in ROF it goes from a stationary prop to a disc like one.
the 9th screen looks perfect in almost every way, the shadows from the trees, the trees the mist, the sun, the bf 109 the pilot size in that bf109 the glass visibility and the propellor.
I never had icing on the canopy luckely, but it look fantastic here, does it apear when you are flying trough clouds? or just when it is cold? do you need to make it go away by opening the window then?
Will there be raindrops on the canopy when you fly trough rain?
The reticle looks verry good as well, beter visible I mean.
London looks great, although the building textures are probably tuned down a little or WIP.
I really like the little town and the trees in the 3th picture.
Actually I like everything in this update and we saw a lot .
