The BDG who have worked on BoB2 are a very knowledgeable bunch, so changing the reticle to the type I pictured would have come from many hours spent researching. by all means, search the a2a BoB2 forum as there may be an answer then, but I am pretty certain this was the type used in 1940.

EDIT-I say this, but your picture shows a c12/c which was in use in the battle....(although it was used after too I think) In any case, I am no expert and I'm basing by views around others. I may pose the question on the A2A forum and see what the answer is. I am just confused now...

Last week's railway was wrong. The problem wasn't the rolling stock, it was the unfenced, unhedged tracks and the ungated level crossings.

I found a couple of links to magazines, I'm not aiming to sell them, just to point out that they exist, and that there is a market for them. I saw some copies of the first in a doctor's waiting room, so I know it's not a web only situation.

I hope posting these isn't against the rules, I unreservedly apologise if so.

The UK's passion for steam trains should not be underestimated.

I am a flight enthusiast first, and not very enthusiastic about railways at all, so I can put up with the current state of railways in SoW, those people may not be so forgiving, though perhaps not many of them are flight simulator users.

Thank you Oleg...its nice to have you back.

I really like how the cityscape is shaping up...fantastic! And the Me109 cockpit is looking as impressive as the Spitfire.

oh my god... or something like that

The screens look awesome!!
The trees look almost perfect and I really like the mist, really realistic, the shadows the trees cast on the ground look perfect as well, you can see them really well from the air.
I really like how you can see how fast the prop is spinning when it starts in the 7th shot. Even in ROF it goes from a stationary prop to a disc like one.
the 9th screen looks perfect in almost every way, the shadows from the trees, the trees the mist, the sun, the bf 109 the pilot size in that bf109 the glass visibility and the propellor.
I never had icing on the canopy luckely, but it look fantastic here, does it apear when you are flying trough clouds? or just when it is cold? do you need to make it go away by opening the window then?
Will there be raindrops on the canopy when you fly trough rain?
The reticle looks verry good as well, beter visible I mean.
London looks great, although the building textures are probably tuned down a little or WIP.
I really like the little town and the trees in the 3th picture.
Actually I like everything in this update and we saw a lot .

it may just be me but has anyone noticed this is the first update that does not say WIP at the end?

BTW the 109 cockpit looks great!

Nice update. I noticed the long shadows on the sunset photos.

Of interest (this photo is dated September 9th 1940, almost the same day of the year as this update):

Now that would be funny:

Oleg posting on September 14th - "Actually, guys - the game's been ready for months. We've just been winding you up...it's out tomorrow."


apologies for the crap Oleg-ish. I know he doesn't speak like that
