Evening gentlemen.

Two part update this week. We're showing continuing improvements to our terrain, as well as the brutality of war.

EVERYTHING IS WIP and subject to change!

Awesome

will the grass move in the prop-wash?
Those trees look awesome. For the one with the 'rounder' foliage, I may suggest making the trunk smaller. It's completely anal of me to say this and I only say it because it can make a difference, but when flying over areas of wood/forest in the UK, the trunks of the trees can barely be seen and then same is true when driving. i could probably get some pictures to show this if it's of interest...? Otherwise the best looking trees I've seen in a sim. I don't even think some modern dar FPS games have trees that look that good.

Will hedges be modelled? These almost look like dense borders when flying; a bit like flying over a solid cuboid that is long and thin

The pilot is not wearing his helmet in the second pic; please don't tell me he puts it on... that would just be so (excuse my childish excitement) cool.

Part two.

Edit: a little explanation

Screen 1 - pilot dead, bombardier dying. Top and waist gunners alive.
Screen 2 - same moment from another angle
Screen 3 - another short burst kills the rest of the crew
Screens 4 & 5 - Heinkel slowly keels over

Slumped bodies and dappled sunshine, looks great if a little morbid...

Great pics!

You can see a train in that first shot, cool! The hangers are lookin really good, you can see the structures and beams on the inside. Very detailed.

I love that picture of the plane on the ground. I am just picturing that grass waving in the wind and hopefully propwash!

Those trees are looking very good too! Again I'm just picturing them in my mind whirling in the wind like that one apc video we saw a while back.

Great update cannot wait to fly this!

Excellent!

The damage on the Heinkel is very impressive. I'd say the slumped-over crew gets the balance between 'realism'/gore and what is likely to be acceptable to the market about right - not that in-game you are going to see much from outside in most circumstances.

Do I see trees all the way out on the hills in the horizon on that first shot?
