Very nice video with a lot of nice details.

Yes, it's still WIP, but looking at the screenshots from just 3-4 months ago, it's a real jawdropped what you accomplished in the short time. And let's not forget: This is just the eyecandy! Can't wait to see what's under the hood of SOW.

No doubt when we see it in all its glory in directX 11 it will look stunning. Now put your hand bags down.

hehe if u are referring to quick replies, on the edge reactions.... girls and old ladies with bags is maybe not the best analogy.... I think the word you are looking for are football fans

A thing we really need for movie-making is Z-axis rotation for the camera.

In all the flight sims out so far, you can never get the horizon to be anything but straight and level. No good for movies that!

We need Z-axis rotation for dynamic shots, tilted horizons, dramatic screenies and movies. Please look into it, it should not be difficult at all to program.

Very nice video!
It's really much better than IL-2, no doubt about this.

I very much liked the visibility and then the clouds and the colours (especially the sea).
I'd prefer better looking skins, but actually that's something that we should see after the game release - too early to worry about this, especially when knowing that we already get twice the quality of IL-2
Tracers, ok not good, but it's WIP as very wise Oleg came to explain so we don't have any misjudgement.

All in all, and knowing that we're still seeing WIP and DX9, I'm sure that we're about to see a hell of a game

PS. Oleg, is it yet too early to talk about system specs?

Oleg,

thx for the update, the in-game video is looking very good already in beta form

+1 on the distant object visibility improvement !!

this is one of the main problems in il2 currently and needs to be solved

I'm dying to know what res the sim was played in. Something less than 1600 x 1200?

Well, i agree with the opinion of the tracers, but Oleg specifically clarified that they are WiP. Besides that, i partially agree with Tree that it seems a little like IL-2, but only on the movement of the planes and i don't thinks its a bad thing, all the contrary.
Graphically, its hugely better that IL-2, and it does look very close to photorealistic to me. The scene of the Spitifre rolling upside down to jump over the Dorniers, and also the close up of the Dornier with the canopy reflection and the spitfire shooting behind are the part that impressed me the most. For me its like watching a movie, looks stunning.

Great work Oleg and team!

The more I watch the more I like it ... Oleg was naughty and cut it to the bone ... split seconds of happiness ... the smoke and flames from the falling bomber look very realistic ... and the impacts of the bullets are in their exact landing spot, not like Il2 ...
