Two questions: 1) Will you have large ocean swells and larger waves (possibly breaking?) and interaction between wind and wave?

2) Looking at the Spitfire cockpit you posted two updates back (it's my desktop) I noticed that the instrument needles weren't throwing a shadow on the instrument faces. Also, that the instruments looked flat- no depth behind the glass instrument face- do you plan on having the reflective effect off of instrument faces and modelling depth of instrument (shadows on instrument faces, etc)?

Thank you for the look at your work!
1. We will have waves, but i don't think we will be able to make all the physics.
Maybe in time we will be able to add new effects. However all we have now is way more that we had in Il-2 for the fligth sim.

2. My guys said following thing: All needles may drop a shadow. If the distance beween the scale and neddle is more than 3 mm (in real scale ).
However its a question to make it finally due to overloading of too many other things in a cockpit. We will see.
In pronciple any detail may drop the shadow in our engine. Simply sometime we need to go for compromise that to get better FPS.
