1. Well the complains are always louder than the praises.
2. That was my idea as well. AI vs Playable. That would also explain the uniform as a sign for the side the aircraft is normally playable with. Well, that's my interpretation

That Spit pilot is either pulling some serious Gs or he's been badly wounded. Am I the only one seeing a couple of hits on canopy side?

Wonderful update

Please , are there implemented again some of the aircraft damage smokes
in 2D instead of 3D which was also used in IL-2 ?
In that screenshot behind the Spit it looks like 3D smoke is blending in to
much longer 2D smoke .
Fuel white leak noodle stream looks definitely like 2D , I hope I am wrong .

Thank you so much for new update

You're right and the holes may be due to a gunner of the plane in flames in that screenshot, that BTW seems to be the engineless Do-17 that's in another one.

Oleg, I grew up in south-east Kent, and the last image looks so good - and what is more - familiar! Very good stuff!

Well, as always the screenshots look better and better every week and i'm convences about BoB graphic long time ago, so i will talk and give some suggestions about the QMB only, and of course considering that is WIP.

Like:

1- Images of aircrafts, with what i beleive flyable aircraft have the human figures to the right bottom of the small image of the aircraft.

2- Fonts of time, weather and cloud altitude settings, even if they are not final.

3- You can save the quick mission for use later on. I assume the mission saved can also be played on multiplayer.

4- Preview images of the mission type on the left.

Dont like:

1- The overall interface, it looks too techie for a ww2 sim, loosing immersion. Probably if the background look more like a sheet of an old flight manual, or something like that, IMHO would look more immersive.
I'm not a graphic designer, just giving an opinion of something that i know is still WIP.

2- The fonts of the "revers" (i beleive that is the word, got it from a translator) at the bottom. Too modern for a ww2 sim. Again, i know its all WIP.

Great update, thanks!

Nice to see the summer colours coming through into the grass.
However, the base layer-texture-colour for the field textures is still too green, and I don't think it's of a high-enough resolution in comparison to, say, the plane textures. Even if the resolution is the same, I feel that the field-textures look too pixelated.
