A few new screens...i think.

Terrain looking nice in the 4th picture - and is that hedgerows making a (belated) appearance on the right hand side?

Have a look see what you think.

Mr Maddox has said that it happened during taxiing. If the "ground model" is more accurate too now, here's my sequence of events:
After achieving a speed on the taxi-way that turned out too high, this is what could have happened. Still trying to make the turn by kicking full left rudder, the aircraft comes into a sideways slip. The left turn lifted the right wing a bit and the sideway slide brought more air under the right wing, lifting the right wheel off the ground. The left undercarriage gave way from bearing all the remaining weight and the lateral forces. Then the left wing makes contact with the ground and these forces now cause it to break. The aircraft slides to a stop near the tree without touching it.

Have another look:

It is indeed a perculiar situation with the Hurri, could it be that the poor tree is keeping this handicapped Hurricane this way, carrying the wing so to say?

Ehnieway enough fancypants english. New insignia could also have been placed on older planes, henceforth the differents in weathering.

Found this one over in on the German Ubi thing. I've never seen it before.

Looking good!

I agree, images look great, including the greens IMO!

What I like most is the grey smoke...I was getting a little worried that all smoke was jet black (not including coolant trails).

Good stuff.

I really like the spiralling effect of the thick black smoke in this shot, with the flames showing through. Best smoke/fire trail I've seen yet.

I hope at some point we'll also see random smoke/fire effects like you see in the gun camera films. For example, an aircraft may eject a mass of flame which immediately disappears and is replaced by a thin smoke trail. Sometimes the flames may appear again, sometimes not. Also smoke getting thinner or thicker or changing colour or density as the fire takes hold and engulfs different materials.

Anyhow, it's all looking very promising.

Use the Search function. You'll find all your answers to that question that way.

They are banned in Russia and Germany, you wont see them because of this until some one mods the game to show them.
