I was also looking forward to burst hundreds of windows, but ...

Hmmm, I do not know....may be it is not too late for this effects...

Look at foobar's (official SoW model maker) comment on the last update. Some windows will be breakable on the hanger, others not. I imagine some buildings will have them, others not. I don't think building like Houses of Parliament and Buck' Palace will have a damage model, I think Oleg said before that they won't be able to be targeted/damaged. So no need for damaged windows.

Nice update. Anyone else notice the falling pilot looks similar to a Russian flight sim developer?

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 .

+1
good post! one of the bests! good skins!: are fragmented skins or entires skins? (i think this question is already answer)

Good update Oleg and Co. It's really getting there 2 weeks?

How's the GUI going to appear? Any other features that a screen-shot can't show us?

Good update Oleg. Keep it up!

Looking better and better- London looks good but very clean for the time.
Once you have dialled up the dirty atmosphere it will look fantastic.
The icing in the 109 looks really scary- the future of this sim looks good (thinking of eastern front battles). It'll be interesting to see how the icing works in-game.

It looks like a lot of the tricks learned in Il2 will be redundant in SOW- dogfighting in bombers will no longer be possible with crew members being thrown around inside the aircraft, and carelessly diving into storm clouds with the increased atmospheric effects will be a thing of the past.

I can't wait for the new challenge!

I bet the fifth picture - the Hammertime freefaller - is included to demonstrate that falling aircrew don't automatically assume the 'modern' skydiving posture (because some people said it is unhistorical a week or two ago.). Although, MC Hammer is equally anachronistic

Oleg and 1C are in a terrible situation. Whenever they work on the sim, they can only increase the ability of the community to nitpick. The more details they include, the more anomalies the community will spot and loudly declaim. Every added feature presents three new features to follow after it, and the community will ask for all of them and claim to be insulted they're not included already. It's a paradox - the better the sim gets (and all their work does make it better!), the more the community will find reason to complain!

***I'm not saying it's wrong to point out discrepancies (I do it too!) - in fact it probably helps Oleg&Co. to make the sim better. I just think this paradox is interesting/tragic/amusing***
