Hope the Avro is flyable, It would be an ideal partner for the Tiger Moth at the training unit so we can get our multi-engine endorsements!

Cheers and thanks for the updates!

Oleg, one of the very first model airplanes I ever made when I was a lad was an Avro Anson I. I have wanted to "fly" one ever since. I am now 56 years old and I hope that I can fly one in the virtual sky of Storm Of War.

Excellent update.

Thank you very much.

On planes I've seen, fabric covered surfaces are not any less glossy than metal ones, assuming they've been doped and painted.

A lot seem to be anticipating a North Africa theatre next, but the battle of France would only require the addition of French aircraft. The battle of Norway and Holland are also strong possibilities. I personally can't wait for battle of Poland and Spanish Civil War scenarios: more plane types involved than I'll know what to do with.

Great screen shots so far. I'm curious as to how the marking system will work: results like from MAT Manager or better?

EDIT: Although your team is still adding objects and tuning terrain and other features on the map, is it safe to say that the final size of the map has been determined? If so, how big is it? Any images of the final map?

I´m really with you in your dream,zakkandrachoff.

What about that Beau?
The first unit operational was the 29 Squadron , in 17-18 September 1940 and it was a night fighter unit.
That model seems to have radar antennas too.
Is this a hint to realistic night fighter ground guided with early radar operations in SOW?

Correct. The model depicted here is a Mk.If night fighter. So actually I'd say it should be painted black overall, not Dark green/dark earth over sky...

Sure, if you don't want it to have any market success.

AS I understand it, DLC is going to be a big deal in SOW.
So I was wondering, planes that are in the game and are not flyable as yet, will the tools be given to modders to speed up the process of bringing them on line.
I see in one of the screen shots a Wellington Bomber (I think) so I would think the FM would already be made for it so all that would be needed is to biuld the cockpit etc...
Obviously plane mods and new planes will have to meet your standards but I was wondering how fast from release before DLC will be available?
