I asked if the A.I still sees through clouds a couple of pages ago. We already know that the A.I doesn't have "spiderman sense" anymore but does that include it not being able to see through clouds? I just finished read Christer Bergströms "Luftstrid över kanalen" (http://www.amazon.com/Luftstrid-Over...8&sr=1-1-fkmr0) about the Battle of Britain and most accounts from pilots indicated that surprise attacks were the rule rather than the exception. Many by chance of course but I was really surprised that most accounts contained the words "They hadn't even seen us, I lined up behind one of them closed in to about 100 meters (!) and fired all my guns. It went down in smoke but the others didn't react so I shot down another one".

This not a direct quote but a long those lines was many accounts that I read about. I'm really interested also what Oleg and team has in store for us A.I wise.

That looks like a woods/forest in the last screenshot. That is the first time we have seen such a concentration of trees.

Hi Luthier, Thanks for the screenies I think they are the best we have seen so far, I understand that you have had problems with various features, but now these have been disabled within the game what kind of FPS can we hope to see if we turn on AA + AF in high res, does the game run smoothly at all times or are there any Black death track moments when the two planes collide. I can certainly live without all the features if the game is able to run real smooth. If you could just show us all some proper video (in cockpit, doesnt have to be fancy) and then give us the system specs it would help all of us who are waiting to spend our hard earned cash on upgrades or new systems just to run your game.

Thank you.
