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.

These posts are a lot more usefull than the posts on the update with the tree whining, although the trees looked fantastic, even that post didn't get locked. And it is still about the effects from tracers and the propellors and the bailing out what was a subject in the update.

[philip.ed]

The recent discussion about the prop effect and tracers is relevent. The tracer discussion has spurred from the great video Jumo posted which shows some awesome footage which could be useful to Oleg and his team.
but the gore discussion can be seen as junk. Not necesarily because it's spam, but Oleg has stated that there won't be gore in the game, so really the discussion is pointless.

nearmiss; shall I delete any references I made in this particular topic about gore? I feel that the rest is relevent

I don't think members are clear that you are a moderator. I only realised it after the last thread was closed.
I deleted 1 post.

The gore discussion is OT. It would be nice if the thread could be left open, in case Oleg wants to comment.
