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

Thanks

Good one

COD wont top REX II ´s cloud system.

Of course it will, unless all you do is take static screenshots where 2D bitmaps look good as backgrounds.

What do REX clouds look like when you fly up in and around them? An awful mess of 2D plates interleaved with each other. This isn't a dig at REX in particular, just the limited FSX cloud system.

No thankyou!

I'd take a true 3D system any day, even if it doesn't look quite as good in a static screenshot. It makes all the difference when you're dancing around among them.

Look at the self shadowing Spitfire video. The particle light effects on the clouds are brilliant. WAY more immersive than an FSX mess.

Cheers, Spinner

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.

The planes look stunning as usual, we just need a high end PC now Oleg so we can see the landscape in all it's glory. Please stop teasing us!

Screens are nice, but landscape should be improved

No one is suggesting delaying anything. This is a weekly opportunity to provide relevant feedback that's all.

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.
