This looks, well, quite simply unbelievable! The water looks completely photo-realistic and the level of detail of London is amazing. I am frankly astonished at the quality of work that's being exhibited here. Even if the flight model was just as good as IL-2's this would be an absolute winner. The mind boggles at how good this sim is going to be when it's released.

And when will that be exactly?

I had to ask. Since that triangle was used in conjunction with a capital letter to the aft of the Balkenkreuz. As I outlined in great detail in the manual on the markings of the dedicated Jabo units.

Great screen shots, Thankyou!

The screen shot of the 109's starting up on the field has made me wonder.

Will we get buffeted by the propwash of an aircraft that is close by on the ground?

Cheers!

Oleg, good to see you are all better!

I can't wait to play this game!

I didn't realize an admin had to change topic titles. Oh well. Stuff happens.

Now onto the gooooooood stuff. The city looks maaaaaaavelous. The buildings give the impression of weight instead of cardboard cut outs thus lending to the realism of the environment. The 109s taking off is brilliantly done. The colouring of the grass looks pretty neat to my eyes. The water looks wet.
I love the draw distance in the back ground. The 109s canopy looks like my car windows on a cold February morning.

The lighting gets more and more impressive each update. The long shadows in the 4th picture is a beaut of a reality booster for me. It's either very early morning or just before twilight when the sun is low and blinding on the horizon.

There's more but I need to look some more. Too much goodness at one time.

Thanks Oleg. Appreciate the update.

About the water which looks very black in the sim (I know it's WIP, ok), here a link showing some pics taken over the coasts of Bretagne (not the Channel, ok, but not very far away) :

P.S: you can get big pics by clicking on the upper right corner on the above links.

Very nice pictures Oleg.

last picture: Is that real that the ice has straight "cut lines" in it?

I can't really say but the ice maybe looks a bit low res.


Anyway i can't wait to see this game on a higher end machine in directx 11. Hope all the textures will be sharp as hell then. (planes, houses,...)
