This made me smile coming from you.

Cheap shot all you like...... I know I have brought about positive change in this sim.

Hey everyone is entitled to their opinions.

I have my pilots licences (though it has been a few years since I flew last) and in my opinion the head shake is probably under modeled if anything.

Opinion has nothing to do with facts,

ultralight weight under 1000lbs
Spitfire weight 6500lbs

In your mind/opinion they are the same/comparable ..... physics says different. Lets let even talk about structural rigidity....
Headshake is wrong in that vid .... not even close to realistic ...... defending it merely shows the ignorance of posters.

Protos, It has nothing to do with the mass of the aircraft. The head shake modeled simuates the movement of the pilots head reacting to the movements of the aircraft.

And except within the members of this forum there is a limits to the mass of a human head and in general it is several orders of magnitude smaller than the weight of the aircraft be it 1000lbs or 6500lbs.

Yes Protos, I believe the same laws of physics should be used to simulate the movement of a pilots head in what ever aircraft they are flying. Please check with you high school physics teacher and get back to me on that one.

That is an opinion of yours I disagree with it it is my right

And the mass of the aircraft has a lot to do with the aircrafts movements. The heavier an aircraft, the more energy needed to accelerate it. And I'm perfectly sure that the SoW team is more than aware of all this

I don't know about anyone else, but I've already entered drool mode at the prospect of using the night-landing and precision navigation devices.

If SoW comes out in the autumn, I should be fully qualified in flying 1940 bombers by 2012. If that isn't a useful life-skill, what is?

Hi, how are you guys?

Obviously I'm new here, although I've been reading along in this forum already for quite a while now.

Concerning the Spitfire video, I'm really glad that it got leaked, (Don't be to hard on the poor guy, who uploaded it!!!) because, I really wasn't sure anymore whether Storm of War would be as awesome as I would like it to be, especially talking about graphics!

Don't get me wrong, the 3D-Models look amazing, but I had no idea, how the whole thing would look and feel, when everything comes together.

That's why I love the video so much! Dynamic shadowing, nice reflections, beautiful clouds. Even though we don't see no landtextures or an external view of the airplane, I think the game looks really good already! (not just compared to Il-2 but also WoP!)

It would be superkind of you guys, if you could upload a similar video featuring a Luftwaffe fighter. The 109 or the Fw-190 maybe?!

Anyways, thanks for the regular updates! Keep 'em coming!
