I think roads are often lighter than we imagine.

One of my personal irritations with FB/Il2 has been that the roads are too dark.

I would say though that I would prefer a yellowish-grey to the bluish-grey to roads and buildings, it looks more natural. It might help to get a real artist to aid with colouration and shades of different textures. They have a good eye for these things. Often seeing things better than photographers do ()!





Old tarmac can become quite light. It is often lighter than the grass next to it, it shows more if viewed in monochrome.

It would be great to eventually see some evidence of road-repair work. Or at least not have a seamless perfect ribbon of grey (not that I can judge anything of SoW yet):



I agree with others that the cities should look dirty. However, I just can't get over how fantastic the cities look! The only thing I hope is that there are some larger buildings like schools, hospitals, cinemas, police stations, council buildings etc. in the city housing areas too, for it to look realistic.

Cool vid though I really wish they would get the right markings for the aircraft. Hurricanes with crosses and 109's with roundels just ain't where it's at.

I'm sure the majority of people couldn't have cared less about the correct markings at the time and were just all too eager to spend their limited time actually seeing what BoB could do rather than making sure they had historically correct markings on for the critics. It's not like they're hard coded to the aircraft, it's an option so there is no point whatsoever in getting annoyed or wound up by it.

Agree, if you had ten people behind you waiting to have a go, you wouldn't worry about markings.

SaQSoN - I remember that Project Galba was put 'on hold' a while back so that work could be diverted to SoW:BoB (completing models for SoW:BoB).
Can I ask - how near completion is that project now?

BTW, I love how the Anson turned out!!!!

Shame there was no ingame sounds.Were there no ingame sounds at all or just not able to be heard above the general noise?.
If there were ingame/engine sounds does anyone know how they sounded?

there should be a load of Russians who know how it sounds since there were headsets
