I appreciate what your trying to do...but your presentation might be more effective if the angle of the aeroplane (from the viewers perspective) was the same in both pictures.

I'm the 'author' of that animated pic. Sorry if it's causing epileptic seizures

I had to make do with what I could find online. Most pictures are shot by people standing level with the plane. The SOW shot is from higher up. The photo I used had to be flipped over and I adjusted the scale to match it to the SOW one based on the size of the tires.

I realise there's a lot of variables b/w the two (angle, model, helmet etc.) but despite these differences, the pilot in the SOW screenshot appears tiny to me. It could be an optical illusion or a number of things others have written about but the bottom line is that the SOW screenshot looks odd to me.

I any case, it's just something to talk about until the next update and this will be the last thing I'll be worrying about when the game's finally in my hands. Hopefully soon now.

cheers!

as far as i understood, it is about a month or so left before the game will see the world?

Fraid not. There have been several of those completion dates mentioned by the devs over the years. The most recent one is also likely to come and go. Never mind though. There's still girls eh?

wife and daugter - that's my girls now )))
it was last hope about "70 years of BoB" date... but is died.

We have respectfully asked Oleg and co if they are going to release this year, but as of yet they have not replied, Obviously there is not going to be any kind of BOB anniversary release it simply isn't going to happen. Hopefully next years completeion date will be 4th or is it 5th time lucky

Ah, so moaning and complaining endlessly about the release date is now considered "respectful" That makes complete sense.

Oleg: Luthier, we are running short of time, I'm afraid that with those crazy inscriptions on the plane tires and the research on the right color of foldable chairs, we will surely miss the BoB anniversary ...

Luthier: My God Oleg, who the hell has the guts to tell the bad news to the angry mob on the banana forum? Some of them are just INSANE!

Oleg: Don't worry mate. Tree is a smart guy, he will understand the situation and tell it to the mob. Let him do the dirty job ...
