What´s the "tail boom"?

Couldn´t find a satisfactory spanish translator for it.

excellent update.

I cannot imagine how the DX11 will look.

Thanks

Thank you Oleg and team for the update.

Is that a T2 tanker the Spit is flying over?

About the texture
The aircraft skin texture looks similar to the canopy's glass texture with the similar reflected light at the top of the plane in such a case.It can be found in many former screenshots,looks like the the plane's back has been over polished.I'm not sure if it is true in real situation,but it looks something improper at the first impression.

and if possible,keep on developing diverse glass textures.They are now monotone(the canopy glass,the gun sight glass,etc.no distinction...),or shall I say it's effects are a bit lighter and need an increased performance(I'm not sure,maybe weathered effects too?),in brief,it doesn't suit the highly detailed/weathered cockpit well.(Maybe in a dynamic demonstration,it looks ok.)

Those screenshots are in the editing tools, not in-game, so that impression may be unjustified, we'll just have to see.

Behind the cockpit opening there is an aluminium decking that extends a short way before the cloth starts. This may explain the different texture.

The plane surface seems to be pretty reflective in these pics. More here

Nice photos, blades!

Yes, compared to the photos, the screenshots do look unrealistc and lacking details. Hopefully the lighting effect will be more realistc in the final version.
