Looking good. Ilya, how is the water transparency done? Would it be possible to see a blurry hull of a ship 1-2m below water line? Or a more practical example, would it be possible to spot a submarine in periscope depth?

We can't show you everything in one week! We gotta space it out a little bit. There's a lot of cool things to show, ships being one of them. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, let's just wait until Oleg is ready to show our gorgeous looking floating targets.

I would love to know this too.

The prospect of an update every week is very exciting. Engine looks great, although I suggest a trip into your nVidia cp to turn on some anti-aliasing. That shot of teh horizon was a jaggie party.

Very excite!

Despite the "critisism" i think i can speak for most when i say that ingame screenshots is a giant step forward uppdate wice.

Thank u very much and looking forward to seeing more.


Btw, Igu Kyu, at sertain angles camoflage paint where infact glossy. Thats just how light reflects. Irl matt finishes never stays completly matt, u only need to wipe it down once and it becomes more glossy. Not counting dirt and wheatehering of course.

Very well said about everything.
Especially about diffeent adngles to the surface, painted in camoflase. Something even on matter surface we may see the reflection of clouds in real life. Its what we are doing in technology.

Wow! thanks Oleg.

Can't help but being biased - any pics of the 109? A nice large cockpit shot perhaps? I'm in need of a new desktop background.

Oh BTW Oleg - you have mail.

Soon. Currently we are inserting it in engine. Not all gauges are working yet...

Thanks for the screenshots!

I've only two questions for the devs (PS: and no!, devs can't have fun when we are suffering like junkies ).

1) Dots' system: the planes' camos were made to protect the plane from above enemies, but also from below (skyblue camo under the wings). Now in IL2 this is a great problem for the pilots who are searching for contacts below, since these can't be see clearly (try against hurricanes...) but instead you are a big black dot on the sky if they look at you.

Usually they could see planes above only by the reflection of the sun on their lucid surfaces (like on the 110's screenshot).

Have you resolved this problem?

2) Is doppler effect working now?
Is it possible to go close at 6 o'clock of an enemy without alerting him with your engine? He should lightly listen to our engine only when we pass in front of him or at his side (he has a working engine at 50cm in front of him..)

Thanks again.
