Reading comprehension on these forums if pretty bad, sorry about that Oleg!

Question: In the head-on view of the locomotive engine there is a reddish brick building in the background on the left. The first floor wall texture is blurry while the second floor texture is crisp. They seem to be the exact same distance away, what is causing this? Usually you see a difference on buildings closer and further, not the same distance.

Thanks.

Looks like AA on a couple of shots

Bloody marvelous!!! I'd quite like to drive that train around for a bit myself

So many different types of vegetation on the ground, it'll be a real shame if we don't get some sort of ground action at some point

Thank you Oleg and have a great day.

Looking very nice.

Some people will always complain about the resolution or the blurriness of the ground or objects - it must be a toss up between performance and looks. The "gravel" rail embankments for example.

Oleg - are they archery targets in image 4? I saw an image saying that archery was a popular pastime for pilots between missions. Might well just be propaganda.

OMG, this scene is stunning!!
Maybe I will get the game just tp play trains!!
Once again you surpass expectations!!1!one!
Thank you.


Oleg, did you consider my offer?
It is a very sincere offer.

nice to see the train rails now raised above the ground, will make it look much better from the air !

will rail lines be 2 way rails next to each other like it is in modern times, or a single rail line ? (i would have suspected in 1940 to have 2 rail lines next to eachother in england, but not sure what is historically correct)

the train looks great

I'm so amazed by lighting and shadows in this sim!

And the level of detail is ashtonishing!

I'm going to spend days just flying around low and slowly, taking in the beauty of it all!

The Spitfire and steam engines are great! The trains will look fantastic going down the tracks.

[Daniël]

Very nice! I love the shadows.
A few questions:
Will pilots, but also other people change expression? Like scared or happy?
Will your flight leader tell in the debriefing what you did good or wrong in a dogfight?

[kestrel79]

I want to say that's a Beaufighter? Not sure...

Oleg great images! The Hurri parked next to the hanger looks great, that was my fav from the first batch.

Second group I really love the elevated train tracks! That is so cool, and makes the ground seem less flat.

I'm sure seeing this in motion is just amazing. Witht he smoke billowing, the trees slightly blowing in the wind....can't wait to play this team keep it up.
