Today:

There was some questions about rotating wheels on the ground models. Yes they are rotating, working suspesion (on tanks it is especially a bit simplified for the high FPS, but on cars - completely working in 3D models. However on tanks it is anyway looking like real in most cases)

Wow! Did you ever think when you started all of this that you'd eventually be teaching the president how to play IL2?

[Korn]

Hello

Congrats for the meeting with your president. Hopefully he's a better man than ours .

Questions regarding map(s):

1. Could you be more specific about the dimension of user-made maps? You said more than once "small", but how small?

2. How big will be the main map (BoB)? How much of GB / France will be represented? Will there be a smaller (maybe 1/2 scale) online version?

3. I hear there's been some talking on SubSim, some guys saying that you have streaming terrain maps (like M$ Flight Simulator, terrain loading as you move over long distances). I don't think this is necesarry for a combat sim, but: do you have this planned (for the future)? Does the engine support this?

Thank you

Were have you been when he'd shown us pictures of the 109?

Great picture of Oleg and Medvedev ! Thanks for that.

I think we need a caption contest for that picture. What's Oleg saying to Medvedev?

" I think you can see Sarah Palins house .....its right there !! "

or

" For Christs Sake Dmitry ! Cover your wingman ! "

Thanks for the update , great to see Oleg and Boris get some exposure and appreciation for thier lifes work.
