good looking update ! love the damage modeling on the german bomber, great detail there !

i like the look of the short grass on the airfield to (until now we have mainly seen the long grass, and wheat fields etc), also good to see how the train stands out in the scenery (as it should in real life), hopefully other ground objects like cars trucks and tanks will be similarly visible from the correct distances and altitudes now (compared to the 30% distance visibility we have for those in il2 right now)

looks like we are getting close

Luthier, will the trees and other objects blend into the distance better? Of course it's WIP but I was just wondering.

Maybe a seperate topic to put any questions in would be an idea?

Here is a good pic on how the British countryside should look, especially for the fields and trees implantantion :



So, still lot of work to do to look right !


P.S: it's a Spit Mk.21, so the pic is probably around 1945-46.

RAVE... somehow it fits.

Thanks for the update.
Propwash would be just awsome!
Pilot does look a bit to small but Im sure Oleg and team are 100% on the spot.
The rest is promising to say the least.


Hope Oleg is better.

That real life shot shows his head must almost be brushed by the front edge of the canopy when it closes/opens. Anybody got a real life shot of a Hurricane with pilot in like the SOW shot posted today, as a matter of comparison?

Beautiful pictures, I am impressed, a couple of them look almost photorealistic! Keep up the good work guys.

One (constructive) critique: the trees in the first pic do not blend enough into the landscape, they stick up like candles on a birthday pie ... maybe some more blur of the 3D objects would help blending them with the 2D textures ... just my 2 c.

Cheers,

His dad is just out of shot after lifting him in the cockpit
