Clearly the guy in the cockpit is sat very high - the canopy would chop the top of his head off if closed!. So maybe as mentioned in prevoius posts it was adjustable for taxing, especially. Size of his (uncovered) head relative to cockpit/canopy can be gauged here as well though.

People tended to be a little smaller in those days, the average height of a man being 5' 8".
John Wayne towers above those people in any case.

Some people's propensity on this forum to bitch and moan about anything never ceases to amaze me.

luKe, we are trying to make the game better for you me old duck, I bet your one of those guys who would never go on strike for more pay, but take the same payrise as those that did make the effort. No offence of course.

The only way to check the size of the pilot is to see a pic with him standing next to the hurri...luthier??

landscape looking better but..and i know its WIP before anyone chips in...but the colours still off for the fields...looks more like france than southern England.

Everything else looks great to me.

cheers.

Agree with comment elsewhere that:
1. The train is out of scale with road(s) which are at best B class but probably C.

Compare this rather crude edit with original.



2. Train tracks crossing roads always have what is known in UK as "Level Crossings" if not bridged.

lol good one mate, that made me laugh

All pics looking great. As you mentioned this is still a WIP and their will be many more tweaks before the first release.
I am just grateful we have the basis for a very worthy successor to IL-2 Sturmovik and as SOW develops over the years ahead we will see many graphic improvements which will eventually stop all the 'whining' (I hope?).
Keep up the good work, hope Oleg is back on deck soon. I would be interested in seeing some more FMB tools in future updates and of course a video.

All we can say is this; we were sent from a future and this future did not have SoW.
