Well, If we use these guy's as our inspiration, it'll be easy to imagine an alternative reality scenario where England looses the BOB.

Great looking shots, the aircraft if particular are very nice! Would be nice to see some in DX10, but I'm starting to get the feeling of this being a sim now, can't wait for a video.

Any chance of you throwing in a lawn mower Oleg? A manual one will do

I have to say, these pictures, out of most, are the ones that really got my attention.. finally got to the meat of the whole sim...

it's the planes I want, not donkey carts..

and these pictures are very nice!

[BOBC]

Thats an RAF pilot in the Stuka, also the 109, I trust they will be replaced by Luftwaffe before release date

Are we by the way, to see realistic accurate markings on Luft aircraft, to recreate the true look, namely filling in the tail with a crooked cross as per all wartime pics, colour profiles in current books. models etc. I just have a sneeking suspicion its lacking such for Germany where such markings are banned, but so as the rest of us, UK, USA etc etc can see these aircraft as they really were and looked, and as we view such at airshows, we need our own 'complete' markings version of the sim, to have these aircraft looking like the real thing, else I will be doing stills and photoshopping them in to get a colour views from the Battle.

Luft aircraft just look so odd with bare tails !

Even in BoB?
I don´t know historically how it was, but my logic tell me that more likely in BoB most of german aircraft would had operated from actual french, belgian and dutch airfields.
Still, my logic could be completely f&%k up!

About the update, even being WiP, and made all randomly, those airfields with all the objects and tress are looking amazing.
As someone asked if there will be radio transmision through the speaker, it would be great if by using the FMB we could put sound that are recreated through the speakers, either continuously or in any specific time. That could help a lot to create atmosphere on the missions.
Knowing that we will have triggers, it would be great to make a mission where pilots have to wait in their planes with engines off and you hear music playing on the airfield, and suddenly radio transmission ordering for take off, so everyone have to start their planes, taxi and off we go!. . And by using the FMB you assign the music and the radio transmission you want them to hear.

Uhmm, i don´t understand why is freaky or what´s wrong with my post Luthier. My apollogies, i just thought it could be cool.
Maybe i have a wrong understanding of "freaky" (freaky = extrange, bizarre, abnormal).

I'm sorry, what I meant to say was that your description of the loudspeaker and the radio sounds matches my ideas on how it should work 100%. I meant to say, you must be telepathic.

Now i get it, i thought you were refering to the post that it was a terrible idea or something like that. Like if i was asking seeing pilots playing cards with boring faces, a dog sleeping next to them, and ground perssonel pass by and once in a while take a look on the cards of the pilots!
