Great shots! Tracer smoke is very appreciated.

Oleg, we are all in such great anticipation of the product that we've watched come to life over a long period of time. I can not properly describe the great feeling that many good people have in all flight simulation communities, as the clock ticks towards March.

It feels almost like a new world.

Thank you for everything!

S!

I have to say, great shots! I don't know who's idea it was (assuming it's Oleg, he represents more of the old school flight sim market) to sell the collectors edition, but I LOVE it.

Really looking forward to the title!

EDIT: Guys asking for higher rez/dx 11/ whatever pics...in time they will come. Don't rush an artist whilst he's trying to finish his masterpiece.

Dear Oleg

Many thanks for the cooming soon Cliffs of Dover which I´ve already pre ordered a copy of the Collector´s Edition.

However, as the title indicates, the Cliffs of Dover DON´T HAVE TREES ON THE BEACHEs just gravel, sand and seaweed, so I think that´s a must to be corrected.

Also, as you can see in the photo, there are no trees as well nearby on top of the cliffs just, grass and some shrubs and as CoD happened in mid-late summer of 1940, you can notice the different tone of the green colors and what we´ve seen in photos and videos of CoD by so far, is more springtime colors than summertime. So, these colors are a must to be corrected too.

Sorry for these observations but me like everybody else who loves your sim want it to be accureted as possible.

Best regards,

Mad G

Oleg,

In almost all period photos I've seen you don't see pilots with their goggles down. My feeling is that they obstructed vision and were used in the brief periods of combat only.

Will it be possible to see pilots with the goggles up at all?

Thanks

Yeah, I think we should delay the release of the product just so the pilots goggles get moved to the top of their heads. And while they're at it, please make sure they have stubble on their chins in the evening only 'cause in the morning they'd be clean shaven.

If you're reading this Oleg, I'd just like to add my comments on the Ubi announcement.

Like all of us here, I really want this product to succeed and I worry a little that the information put out so far really doesn't show CoD for what it is...the best, most detailed, most accurate, most in depth, most extensible simulator ever produced.

I've already seen quite a few comments from new guys here confused about the rename and wondering if this is just a new module for the old IL2.

It would be great if the release text could emphasise that this is the FIRST INSTALLMENT of a brand new series from the makers of IL2 using cutting edge technology. Please also mention the goal of creating a virtual battlefield...a very exciting concept that has huge potential and is sure to stir an interest in the potential customer base. If we can already man AA guns then a tank sim can't be that far away.

Thanks for all your hard work. I'll be doing my little bit to support you and I'll be sure to spread the word amongst friends.
