I wonder who the beautiful girl is?
Please give my regards to her.
I think something shoud be done to improve your working enviroment.A dimmer and not very spacious room,not very large screen,the bomb modeling programmer's keyboard really needs cleaning,or just buy a new one...(Don't give him permission to eat like others,while he is working,until he has got a new one...for his health...)
Can't imagine so great a game is made in such a studio...A little bit poor feeling...
Compared with the 2012 VFX team's,

You are really doing a hard work.
If only I could do more to support you!
At least,I will surely buy your new series.
Best wishes,and highest regard for all of your team.And do really hope you will have a more better working enviroment in the near future.

Thanks for the update.

It seems like in this shot that you are using C#. Can you share what technology you are using to develop the game? Thinking first and foremost on programming languages. Being a programmer my self, I find that very interesting.

Where I work (not game dev), we have two camps, - the C++ camp and the Java camp... me being in the C++ camp. And I was very surprised to learn that IL-2 uses Java, since we always play the performance card to the Java fans

I believe your choice of Java was quite unusual in the game business when IL-2 started development, when Java still was very young. Do you have any thoughts on technology choices like that, - did it for example play a role in being able to complete the game in time (the usual trade off performance vs time to market)?

java was seected due to time of development. We spent more less time. Howwver later many things was moved in C++ iin original Il-2 as well.
However we were used Java in parts that are not FM or 3D engine.

C# we are using, yes. To early to tell in which part.

Nice and interesting, as usual. Thanks.
Oleg, I can see your camera is a Canon S90. A good choice!

Its not my camera. I got this one in office of Canon for testing. Of course I was simply interested to test it. Sometime I do such tests and post then results on my photosite.
However I'm user of professional DSLR cameras, most often Nikons (currently D300 for undewater and more D700 for all purposes). Still using some time middle flim format Rollei twin reflex, which I have aleady more than 20 years in use.
Compact cameras ase not my choice I can use them occasionally only.

He he, my father has an impressive collection of cameras - but he always talks fondly about his Rollei Reflex cameras (and for some reason his old Minox 1970:ies pocket cam)

I'm a rookie user myself with a D80, but it fills my needs (a D300 would be nice though). I'm actually going to buy a new camera this very afternoon for party shooting and quick movies of my kids (going for a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 that seems like a perfect pocket camera with good movie/still combo). A fat SLR camera is not always the right choice

I have also good collection of old film cameras. Its a bit more than 100.

Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - is a good camera with loooong zoom. Many of my firends like it.
However, I presonally woud prefer Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 due to outstanding quality of the high ISO output with low grain. And as I understand you don't need RAW format or some manual modes....
Just try to compare images between two these cameras. The price for both is comparable.
I would by this Sony myself for the same puposes, but abcense of some manual modes and RAW format stop it.... HD movie for kids is also present in that sony
