As it was promised in the past we will get all them in time more close to photorealistic than fancy colors.

And you all should understand that with thousands such small details even some small change of one texture may have effect on the overal image... that is a huge work to tune all things that should look like photorealistic (at least from the bird's flight!)

Thanks for these infos, I'm really looking to fly over the British countryside in your sim

my word... i'm lonvign that shot of the spit, the pilots head position looks so natural, the bump mapped rivets, the AA the lighting... just wow. cracking update.

Great prospects for some night flying.

As always the shots show some superb aspects of the sim.
The ground details astound me more each time I see them.
Target training at an OTU anyone?

you can see the radar ...prongy thing... sticking out the front of the beaufighter as well. and the pilot appears to be leaning to one side. or pushed by flight manoeuvre to the side. *drools*

as for the ground details, at a wild guess, and based purely on the tech demo of the dx11 tessellation, those stones on the track may appear more 3d under dx11 rendering.

beautiful work foo.bar, quite beautiful. and for a flight sim!

and the targets... one for using with the flak guns perhaps?

the level of details is frankly astounding.

That Beaufighter looks MEAN!!

Thanks for taking the time to post, given last week's fiasco. I don't know how it's possible, but the updates just keep getting better and better each time!

Are the targets in the fourth screen shot for syncronising a fighters guns?

Oleg, go visit your parents - We'll see you when you return.

Foo'bar deserves a "Medal of Honor", or "Pour Le Meritt" at least!
Oleg, great job...have no words...I do believe that these pictures form the "Update", are from some recent airshow...maybe Duxford...I dont know...
~Cheers!

It looks awesome.

What do you think about the runway in this picture?
Is that the way runways looked like?

For me the runway looks blurred and like a texture of an old game. Actually it looks the exact same like in IL-2.

Give it a rest already.

Yeah, right. Almost "like drawn by child - in watercolors" right?


S-T-O-P I-T!

You don't know what is WIP and what not. Oleg has the right sense for polishing the details, he just proved that with todays screenshots.
However, it is possible, and in your case very likely, that you'll not be satisfied in whatever form this game hits the shelves.
But don't despair, there's help:
First: You don't have to buy it
and 2nd; a piece of Yoda's advise:
"shut the f*** up - you must, young padawan."

Cheers.
