Don't think so, Oleg said that Belgium will be included.

Very good sight, Foo'bar, or should I say "Hawk Eye" ?

Oleg, Luthier, about this picture I am wondering if:

a) Will the gunner also turn his head back and look at the pilot?
b) Will we be able to put our own face in pilot's and gunner's faces, like now in IL-2?
c) In on line flying in a bomber like Stuka, for instance, will every pilot/gunner choose his own face and will it be seen by the other ?

You can guess where I am pointing out: image that you pilot a Stuka on line with a friend as gunner and being in comms with him, you can look at yourselves one each other behind !!

As for putting your own face into the game I see a major problem because it isn't just only to switch the texture (like we did have in IL-2) but you'll need the geometry/model of your face.

At that time the Allen Scythe existed:



There were plenty of ways to get grass mown.

the grass looks like grass to me, very grassy

This is coming along very nicely and at a steady pace. What i really like is that apart from all the graphical goodness we see here, the team appears to have taken an active interest in spicing things up and introducing certain game mechanics that will enhance the feeling of a living world in the title. If in the end we get an open-ended "sandbox" type game, that will be awesome. That's all talk for the other thread by Luthier though, so i'll head there.

Thank you guys for all your hard work and hope the boss gets well soon

i think some of these are more likely to have been used by the pilots (referred to earlier) when exercising while waiting for the call

I'm just guessing here, but this image with the object with the map pointed by Foo'bar makes me beleive that we will able to chage the texture of the object and show a diferen map, a picture or something else, that could be in hand with the mission objective and add a little more atmosphere.
What the hell, if we could have a first person perspective and virtual body outside of plane, we could even make on multiplayer an outside briefing using this object and internal comms, that would be cool .


Luthier, if you tell me to get outside of your head again i will be scare too! D

[nearmiss]

I don't think that is the size of the map.

Principally, because after all the time that has been taken to produce the BOB SOW I would think it will be just about as comprehensive as they can make it.

All British and German airbases and landscapes will probably be represented very well.

Sure, absolutely.

I just wanted to be sure we weren't saying that was all there was.
