Excellent topic ! also a lot of fun going on because that's about all we have right now

@ Skoshi Tiger

here is what I meant by initial outburst footage with aircraft going all the way to the ground ( or water in this case ) .
These two aircrafts are about the biggest black thick outburst I have seen from tons of WWII archive footage ,
it's rare to find as there is not much of such outburst recorded by gun cameras or by the cameraman on the ground .
These are pretty violent blasts but then again each thick smoke is running out in few seconds .

Here beginning @ 3:24

Ok this is getting ridiculous. Clearly they are going to have to exhume the bones of the pilot of L1833, remodel his head with plasticene, then place him in a reconstructed Hurricane and do a full 3d scan.

Seriously guys this is such a pointless debate. I am confident that it is to scale, but even if it wasn't you'd have to be Rainman to see it in flight.

If something is wrong ,it is wrong and better to get it right now than after being released,nothing wrong in constructive criticism.
Oleg ought to appreciate the amount of hours and research being provided on his behalf and for our end product and enjoyment.

[McHilt]

Feedback is essential to get a more objective view on details like... a head of a pilot, which is just as essential as the left wheel of the landing gear f.e.
Ok, maybe a bit farfetched but as long as the sim is not out we have to occupy our time other than flying BoB, but as closely related as possible which means:
giving feedback, no matter what the subject is.

Well, in this case they already said that the pilot was at the right scale, as well as the plane. I don't think that long debates with such trace-lines-on-a-picture proofs will really help them. They have the 3D models and can measure real distances on it.

[Insuber]

Given the complete lack of responses from Luthier & Oleg, I'm afraid that they're not overly interested in this kind of debate on pilot's size.

I guess that Flight Model, Damage Model, lighting and shadows, 3D modeling, landscape, clouds, campaign and online modes, testing and refining etc., have a slightly higher priority at the moment.

Cheers,

im pretty sure they model both planes and pilots on scale...its not very difficult to do that right. sizes of the planes are widely available so are average sizes for males in the 1930tees.
isnt there something else to talk about? ...like that we need more gore?

[zauii]

Omg another nitpicking discussion seriously...
If they'd actually listen to all your thoughts they'd never be close to releasing this thing within a decade.. but hey Duke Nukem Forever just got a release date so maybe this will also come out soon enough.

[Flanker]

I'm getting really angry beacuse people post such stupid posts like' oh i think the guy is 0.5mm too high or too small'. Shut up!The guys know what are they doing and they're doing it wright!
