is Birmingham and Paris on the BoB map?

As I already posted above - the south border of the map is just below Kaen, the north one - is less, then 50 km above London.

ok, thx for you answer

That could be tricky for historical bomber campaigns. Most of them were based in France proper and that map dimensions could rule out a few units ('cause their bases would be off the map). I'm curious to see the actual dimensions ...

Ju-88 inside the cockpit is incredible, really great!

It looks, like nobody at the fair didn't find out, that the defensive guns could be controlled in 2 ways. I.e. in the Ju-88 rear gunner, you can also rotate the whole gun mount (circular window), plus the gun within it. Hence, this particular gun has 3 DoF.

Thank for the info.

I begin only now to understand the potentiality of this game. The Ju-88 is really cinematographic, and it will be a dream to fly. I can't imagine a night mission over England with this kinde of cockpit, really immersive.

However i'm still afraid about the hunting side of the sim for the Germans. One only Emil for us Spitfire hunters is not so good.

Have you info about other versions like E1, and may be E3 with armoured protection?

Shadows on the windows. I don't like that shadows appear so much on the cockpit windows.Makes you feel as if the cockpit is full of smoke.The outside world is not in the shadow just because the cockpit is in the shadow. The shadows made by trees etc on the ground are too strong. The reflective lighting from the surroundings are not strong enough. The terrain colors are too vivid. Take a look at the small river. It looks as if someone poured a strong blue color into it. But who knows. Everything we see is not the final product. Maybe most of this is intentional by Oleg. To really be able to judge we have to wait for the final product, March 2011 it seems .....

What I especially liked was that 'your' eye followed the gun and gunsight along the barrel..I have never seen this in a sim before..I hope it will be that way, and isn't just my imagination.
Usually you just see the gun from a rear position, not aligned with the sights.

Non procedural bail

















You'd want strong arms and a lot of faith, trying to pull this off

I get a kick out of that copilot. He looks like he's in deep shock. Something Like Buddy Hackett and Mickey Rooney in "The Mad Mad Mad Mad World" in that twin Beachcraft.
