Just thought I'd join in the general euphoria, this was a wonderful update. It's funny, you watch through the videos and think "hey, that's nice" and then you watch 'em again and start to notice all the details.

I love the low lying mist (1:24). I love the long shadows (1.20). Beautiful atmospherics. Gimmie some weather and I'll be in simulation heaven.

It's also a compliment to Oleg that we (well, most of us) can concentrate on all these details of the world around our aircraft because we know the aircraft themselves are going to fly and handle beautifully. I have no concerns in that regard at all!

I am looking forward greatly to placing the order for a new MB/CPU/Graphics Card as soon as we have a release date!

I have nothing to say other than the applause of what has already been said. And Oleg has very positively answered some and more of the weak points that have been seen in the footage, once again showing that he has that eye for detail.

Stunning work, no pressure from me, get it dead right. I'll be buying and force feeding it to as many people as I can!!

That's true, we have seen some total overcast in the Il2 1946 additional CD.

I can understand that weather effect are not easy to model as they affect the view of all other objects and I think everyone can wait some after release patches to have the full set of meteorogical effects.

Great work !!!

Why do they bother?

Different trajectories of different shells in one belt was also a case in Il-2. Here the ballistic is more precise. But what really there happened - look my answer above

Will effect.

Station building
 

Oleg please check e-mail (new address) there's something wrong with station building shown in the video.

A warbird in a flight simulator?

Producing warbirds for FSX or X-Plane?

IMO, flight simulators make sense with competent navigation, instruments and procedures for the current time.

Don't get me wrong I do admire some of the outstanding 3rd party aircraft, just don't see the value.

I tried the FA/18 in FSX, and found it was more interesting to fly the Jane's FA/18 in combat situations. Afterall... warbirds are for shooting, bombing and causing havoc.

If I were training to fly the FA/18 as a real pilot I would definitely spend alot of time flying instruments and charts in FSX or X-Plane. You can definitely improve your real world flying skills in a flight simulator.

When it comes to air combat... that's another story.

The second video is more than amazing,and if that is in lower settings,oh god,what kind of machine will run it?

What I just noticed is that the planes turn too fast/drastically.

We forgive you Ilya and we know what the problem is. This is where Mr. Shevchenko's problems started. There is usually a woman involved when secrets are betrayed :grin:
