Dano; that's exactly what I was thinking! It's awesome that the propellor looks different on different game-speeds; I would love it if the player could choose (for a screenshot/movie perspective) different ways that the propellor could look like through different shutters

Luthier; is prop refelction modelled? I ask as when I first saw this used in WoP I thought it was overdone, but after being to an airshow recently I noticed the reflection of the sun on the spinning prop quite vividly

Here it can be also seen at 0:42 , propeller is pretty visible under some angle view with light reflection :

Nice footage...Now they also have a reference of how a shooting p-51 should sound...

Look at 1:58: the pilot bails out.

I have to say I'm astonished by the belief that the sound on that video is accurate. It was obviously a real aeroplane making the sound, but which one I wouldn't like to say. Gun cameras did not record sound, it was added after the event most likely with whatever was convenient and hanging around.
A cursory watch of numerous episodes of German wartime cinema propaganda clearly show repeat film sequences in engagements that occured at different times and places. Particularly sad are the ones from 1945 supposedly reporting fighting against the Russians that are clearly manufactured to show that the Germans were winning although the Russians were probably shelling Berlin by the time they were shown.
Take it all with a big pinch of salt. Especially now it's possible to fabricate anything in this digital age. See Hollywood, wikipedia, lol!

Off topic?Yes.
But very fun in the latest posts.
Better than the endless discutions about release dates.

You know guys this is just a bunch of Cannoli

Here it is Tuesday and it looks like the thread will have to be locked with half the week to go before another update.

Why don't you guys go back and delete your rodomontade ( junk postings) save me some work deleting them. This way the thread can stay open. There might actually be others that haven't seen the thread who would like to comment.

Oleg & Co,

thx for the updates

excellent looking screenshot of the bomber crew looking out the window

one concern: the hurricane pilot still looks way to small, and i cant see the feet of the german pilot in the bomber reaching the rudder pedal ? i suspect the "small pilot" problem still hasnt been resolved ? (not a big deal, fix it after release if it takes to much time now)
