Glad to see the fuzziness of A/C markings has been solved. All those shots are damn near perfect in every way.

Looking excellent! Thanks for the update.

Many thanks for this update, its now looking like the game we all hoped and wished for.

S!

Thank you for the update, nice things to discover there. Good luck with the move to the new office.

Thank you very much Oleg for this weeks update!

I really hope you can solve your private and business challenges! Its all about how you handle them. You can never avoid bad things happen! A good laugh with friends or family give much power and also sense to keep on living

The cockpit shots look very very detailed! I never saw this in a game before!

Thumbs up and good luck for you and your team!

Cheers

All looks great, but I see the hurricane is firing nicely synced death rays.

I don't recall seeing those death rays the last time I fired a 7.92mm machine gun (when I was in the Army) - is that a detail still to be ironed out?

They're tracers, but the very first thing when I thought of when I looked at that screen shot was this. . . .



Hopefully they'll get that ironed out so that it isn't perfectly synched all the time. After a second of of firing the tracers would be closer to alternating than perfectly lined up on each side.

I'm sorry, what's the problem again?

Nice edit but have you ever seen a still shot of a tracer? They actually look like this as the bullet moves a few meters in the 1/125 of a second the shutter is open Do the maths yourself... Suppose a camera shutter speed of 1/125 and and bullet speed of about 800 m/s for a .303... 800/125 = 6,4 metres... Yepp - those lasers look like they are something like that...

In a movie I'm sure they will look OK (I hope!)

I know what tracers look like, I've posted a few vids in another thread. It's not how they look, it's that they look really fake when they are perfectly lined up beside each other. MG's will not sync up like that, but every pic I've seen of them have them lines up in pairs like a tie-fighter from star wars.

It's not that they look like lasers, it's that they are moving in perfect pairs.



MG's do not stay in synch since there will always be one that starts firing first, or one that has a slightly higher rate of fire.
