This is looking awesome, we can see this coming to life now

Those clouds aren't half bad too. If they are defined a bit more, solidified a bit, and included with flat-bottom this will knock anything in any sim for six!

Oleg, check this out:

The (auto) weathering/paint on the Spitfires look great !!!!

Fantastic shots. Even more excited about now. Great work!

I so want to fly the Walrus.

I love flying boats.

fantastic video

To be honest:; Those pics look like IL2.
(maybe slightly pimped, IL, bust still...)
All the pics we have been shown had way higher details.

What happened?

[philip.ed]

Oleg has said these pictures are slightly older.

I love the weathering on the Spitfire! How many missions must you survive to get it that worn? How worn can a plane get if you treat her well?

It was great to see the Walrus! Is there a hope that she will, at some point in the future, be made flyable?

The markings on the Spitfire is a bit off though. Squadron codes on RAF planes was usually sky (the same light green-blue-gray colour they used on the underside), or sometimes medium sea gray (a somewhat darker, less saturated hue). The serial numbers were always in black, and in 1940 always a single letter followed by four numbers, with no spacing or hyphen.

My concerns are more about new FMs, aircraft management and historical aspects than graphics. I already stated here that actual graphics Oleg showed us are beyond my expectatives about graphics. 3rd party can develop more beautifull graphics, i think Oleg and his teams are more worried in engine development than nice graphics. What i expect from SoW is new and more powerfull engine. Whats the advantage of nice graphics but porked fms and engine like FSX.

If you complain so much Oleg ll give you nice graphics but bad engine, fms. If there is lack of time to develop nice graphics and the engine, fms i would prefer engine and fms.

Oleg can you bring updates about other features in SoW, like management of aircrafts, fms etc?

The Macchi 200 is very nice.. or is it a G.50?.. love the clouds and depth in the view

There seems to be a hole in the stabilizer of the spits? Is this just a rendering issue or skins issue.. easily fixed I'm sure.. it is visible also on the far spit..

I don't think that's a hole, it looks like the mechanism for the elevator trim tabs.
