It seems that they haven't start modelling ground scenery yet.

I'm wondering if that plane :
A: is brand new
B: has made a couple missions
C: has a lack of maintenance

I just hope that when it's new its not missing that much paint on it, but only after she made some missions

I think the Wellington was in service from late 1938, so 'B' would be an option. Especially the paint chips about the motor where pannels would be routinely removed for maintenance. I doubt 'C' in an pre/early war RAF.

Then again it could have been given pre-worn look to be trendy ~!)

I hope too that it's B...
I said that because Oleg said that plane's paint will suffer from the elements.... and if you start with a plane like that... then after 2 months it would be bare skin

Amazing how much energy you invest to find something negative. Maybe it's just to show some effects?

@ jermin:
I guess you missed the repeated statements that the screenshots will not show the actual map of the Battle of Britain until later next year. Instead custom made missions will be used for presenting screenshots. Just a hint

I like the distinct difference between the metal and fabric covered portions of the plane, it really shows off the lighting well. Did anyone notice the subtle impression of the latticework showing through the fabric at certain angles?

This is Impressive.

isn't the Wellington a non-flyable? just asking.
Flyby out
btw, it looks great!

Indeed, that looks great. Maybe it will be flyable after all? But on the other hand, if such detail was implemented for an AI-plan - wow!


(IMHO the difference between the fabric covered and metal parts is the main reason why the paint is clipped off so much in these areas )

I'm sooooo looking forward to start playing this game! It will probably cost me my marriage, and be worth it, too..

A couple of questions to anyone who know the Wellington:
- In the third picture, there seems to be two layers of geodectic framework in the windows above the wing. Is it two layers, or is it the internal structure on the oposite side of the cabon we can see?

- Is the tailplane braced forward with some wire, or are those wires additional antennas? Both seems very unlikely...

Has this been cut and pasted onto the background? When you zoom in it looks odd somehow.
