Ahhh... a sweet little video. It looked rather smooth too. That's DX9, so DX10 must be killer, and DX11 insane! (well, that's my take).
Oleg, a few more teasers like this please?
Flyby (over and) out

It is so great to see all of the hard work coming together like this.
Thanks again for another update.

Finally an air battle video... Thanks Oleg, you rock.

Thanks for the update. Very pretty and very, very promising.

Cheers!

This is a very good WIP and like Tree says its not a million miles from IL-2. Both are based on WW2 aircraft theaters, but that's about where the similarity ends. There is little doubt in my mind that the SOW series will be the next benchmark in Combat Flight Simulators.

Salute!

P.S. Woos aircraft glass mirroring a big issue in war? It looks like easy way to spot aircraft on long distance...

Yup. That was one of the problems with the German faceted "greenhouse" cockpits. Sometimes enough light would get into the cockpit that a panel would reflect the light back towards the crew. Often FW-189 crews had trouble seeing what they were supposed to be spying on.

What happen with this shots (like in Star wars), I see laser shots from Spitfires. Please to improve this in the final game

Hi,

Early in-game video. DX9 render and basic untuned effects. Do not forget – WIP!
Tracers are also WIP

Nice movie! As an advice, to improve realism, I'd desaturate the overall colors more, to make it look more like daylight. Right now, so brilliant and nitid, it feels a little like artificial light and makes the whole look a bit more "plastic".
