Nice touch.

Yes, I noticed it too. But My fav part is gun cam, add some grain, cut out some frames, make it black-white and there is no way to see the difference between it and actual WW2 footage.

All I can say is that I cannot wait for this game. I am now 62 and have played IL-2 from the beginning. Before that it was 1942 Pacific air war, EAW and Red Baron II. I also dabble in Lockon FC and others.
When I realise that all those men that took part in that now legendary battle (and I grew up with the memories in post war Britain) are in their 80's I see how old I am. So I am glad that I have a chance to get that much closer to the real thing with this game. I thank you Oleg.......you are a STAR. I will be endebted to you for the rest of my life...........They'll probably find me dead and slumped over the Joystick of my computer one day......in the distant future let's hope!!
Kind regards,
Pike.

Very, very nice...And the clouds are not so bad after all, especially when you fly trough them...Nice effect !
And regarding the tracers, they probably have been reworked...They look perfect in this video...Bravo !

Thanks !

Very nice update!!!
Oleg what could you tell us about the mission structure (.mis, .properties eventlog) ? Will be more complex than in il2? any feature that can you comment? These are the tools that we got to make a "Campaing engine" as Air Domination, Air War, Condor War, Med War, Scorched Earth so i really like to see a little. Thanks in advance.

Perfect! I'm giddy with anticipation. Not sure my heart can take it.

[LcSummers]

Cant wait to have it in my hands.

Thanx

First post here.
Have been following this game for serveral years and I must say I am absolute stunned.

Fantastic work Oleg & team. It's nice to have people like you in a gaming industry where historic accuracy and realism are very low on their list.

Thank you.
