Oleg, will the clouds change shape? So a good day could turn overcast?

Also, will the engine support hundreds of aircraft in the sky at the same time like Battle of Britain 2 Wings of Victory does?

Lastly, will there be a dynamic campaign; so the abilty to fly back to base, refuel, re-arm and then take off again whilst the battle is still raging?

Thank-you for being so helpful :D

PS: one more question, sorry I can't stop myself! You once asked me to e-mail you with information on barricaded fields; a measure which farmers and other people employed to stop luftwaffe airmen landing. Because I have been very busy and haven't had the time to research this properly, did you ever find anyone to do it? And will it be modelled? Such a feature shouldn't be too hard to model, and would certainly add to the immersion :D

I don't plan to tell more now. Especially when some info still secret.

Ah, I wonder about that too. Il-1 series is more for skirmishes. Large fleets do not work so well. Rise of Flight is a next gen sim but can only handle a dozen or so aircraft before it starts to slow down. I hope SoW will not suffer from similar limitations.

Have faith in Oleg. I can tell from the alpha shots that this sim will be stunning when it is complete, so have patience. Thank you Oleg.

Probably somewhere in between, but you are right - the saturation, but especially the contrast is much too high. When you have a blinding noon sun above but can barely see anything inside your cockpit, somethings definitely not right.

@ OM:
You can take pictures of a Black Shark in Russia :grin:


Just don't play sharkbait!

Maybe you can share some shots you made after your vacation ;)

Also vigneting is the things that shouldn't be. I understand as photographer that some time vigneting makes the pic looking better and sometime using vigneting myself on the photos, but all the time... "simulating" fringe region of eyes - it shouldn't be done because just of this... :)

I can't post myself here the link to my photo website to show undewater and other shots. It would look like advertizement.

However I plan to post there with evaluation of EOS 7D (Canon again gave me new camera for the personal test) some shots from our office nearest time. :)

Yes, I noticed the vignetting myself. I think it's misplaced in a PC-game - the field of view is narrow enough on a monitor and especially in a simulation the player's focus will not always be in the middle of the screen, so the vignetting is wrong all along.

EOS 7D - Wow! Now that's a nice cam. Looking forward to pictures of your office, though you probably won't use much of the 7Ds features for that ;)

I recently started with my little EOS 1000D - got to say that I'd probably go for a EOS 500D if I had to make the choice again, but it's a nice camera for a start - what it can't do, I make up with photoshop :grin:

Er, okay, let's get back to topic ;)
