You couldn't get the swastika in the international version of Il-2 - only after some folks fiddled with external programs. In Il-2 itself there was no way to activate the swastika and the hakaristi and there still isn't a way to do this. Even the russian version had a switch in the conf.ini (the HakenAllowed=1 line) which wasn't there by default.
Again - historical accuracy in this case is irrelevant as long as Maddox Games makes just one international version, which in this case has to obey §86 of the german penal code and totally omit any swastika (and any optional activation of it).

csThor, but let's take the example of Foobar's skins.
He's German, and makes historically accurate skins (so, with swastikas). To avoid any legal problem, he leaves a disclaimer at the installation. I've never heard of any issue involving his skins. Couldn't this be done with Storm of War?

If 1C:Maddox wish to put Swastikas on German aircraft, I'm sure they will seek legal advice, and if they are in any doubt, err on the side of caution. I'd have thought there are more important issues for them to be concerned with at present, and I'm also sure that third-party software will be able to add them for those who want it.
If you think the law in Germany or elsewhere is wrong on this issue (I've got mixed feelings myself) , you are free to advocate change, but I don't really think it is reasonable to expect a commercial company to fight your political battles for you.

We can just solve all of this by just using custom skins just like we always have so why are we really talking about this? People like me who want them on their German planes for movies can just search for custom skins after a few days. I'm sure all of the skinners will be in heaven over this sim. Unless I'm misunderstanding and SOW will be able to detect a swastika on a custom skin LOLOL.

I really don't understand all this discussion about swastika
There are several IL2 utilities that place swastika on aircraft now. I'm sure with SOW similar utilities will be created. Oleg will not put swastika on aircraft, at least that is my understanding from Il2. He would have none of it.

Its sad how a nice friday update became a pointless discussion about what the developer should be showing and swastikas.
Please, if you want the game come with swastikas, or talk about if it should have them, or not, or the german and any other country law, why don't you guys start another threat about the subject and leave this for talking about the update. Same about if you are not happy about what its being shown. Please, let those that are interestend on the update, enjoy and ask about it. S! Last edited by ECV56_Lancelot; 03-06-2010 at 08:10 PM.

Back on topic: To me it seems like the antennas are not only moving due to inertia (the wobling) but also bending due to windforces as the vehicle is turning with a constant speed! How much attention to detail is that? Finetuning windforces and bendingstrenght of antennas? Oleg has (IIRC) stated that planes will be affected by the slipstream of other planes flying in front of it, I guess these effects comes from the same programming feature. We are also getting working suspension for vehicles! These are fantastic features, bringing much life and immersion to the game, but they must be enormously time consuming. I can not understand how MG is capable of putting so much stuff into this game before it is released. Skarphol
