Oleg, I've got a question:

Is there going to be an AI algorythm that doesn't let to shoot to enemy if a friendly plane is in background or covers him?

And for bailing out, last pic, I think that all rudders and controls should be at neutral position, because pilot doesn't control it anymore.

Why would the controls magically return to neutral position? Depending on whether the plane is falling, spinning or continuing to fly straight, the control surfaces would bend with the external forces exerted upon them, taking in to consideration the trim settings of course.

That is stunning Oleg, truly visionary, and I do remember il2s intro and beta.

Dear Oleg,

Thanks for the update! Just want to say thanks for giving us a sim that has lasted for many years now. Quite an achievement.

I'd like to know whether trees will be visible at ground level? In il2, as you know, some forests are almost invisible when low flying. Will we have 100% visi on trees in SoW? I like low flying.

Also, will He111's be flyable? Or Stukas? I'm a skilled, enthusiastic bomber pilot, and look forward to attacking the London docks in 1940.

Thanks for any reply.

Really A-M-A-Z-I-N-G pic´s. Thank You for the great job.
Keep the right way...

Oleg is using third party tree software that is visible from ground level. Olegs forests in IL-2 were a good depiction for its time especially saving frame rates. Unfortunately they did cause a few accidents at very low level.
