Wow!
The WIP video of SOW makes Il2-1946 look very old, especially considering that Il2 is fully mature product.
Who was flying the Hurricane? I was screaming at them to use a bit of rudder to line up their shot properly (I hope they were inaccurate on purpose and turned away to hide the damage modelling on the He111
)
I also noticed the first frame had the propellor frozen and gauges at zero. They quickly snap into action when the video starts playing and bounce around for a while. I hope this doesn't mean an airstart will automatically overstress the engine components (I've had this happen a few times in Il2 in sensitive planes such as the Me262 where an airstart has jolted the throttle once i've made an adjustment and exploded the engine). I'm certain that Beta testing will reveal any flaws like this.
The first time i played Il2 vs 1.2 (many years ago) i was astounded at the 'realism' of it. With each weekly update i am becoming more certain Oleg and his team will astonish me again.
Good luck at the trade show guys!
