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.

Great update O... Fridays haven't been this good around here for a while..

This is how the sim looks in DX9 right now, the simplest of all possible renders. The final version will look better with DX9, but DX11 will offer the best visuals.

Hmmm so it sounds lijke you are saying that this is the "low" setting view...
Will there be a DX-10 render also or will it skip that altogether.. I think this loos great.. especially since no matter how it looks we know it is beta... not even near final..

I love the video clip, but to me it looks like a pre-rendered clip and not taken from the game engine in game??? I could be wrong? I've never seen storm birds playing.
