Some people never grow up.

To Oleg:

Fantastic videos, it seems the more dayglo colours of the earlier betas have been replaced with more muted tones, especially over the land, excellent look and feel for everything.

We are very happy with 1C's work, thank you once again.

Awesome update, the music is just beautiful.


Has anyone noticed this, though? The Hurricane Wall-paper shows a mirrored Hurricane. The serial code is in reverse. Hopefully this can be edited.

Do you have an idea where to get this and more of these artists music?
It's really beautiful. I think I rewatched the videos 20 times already.

As the training flight video feature a pair of 109's i assume it is over Northern France or did they sneak over the Channel.
I guess it's France,maybe Holland with the windmill.

Looking at the field-layouts, I'd imagine France.
I think the game looks lovely: if there were some 3D hedgerows it would really improve the terrain, as France looks quite flat

Lol, northern France IS quite flat ! This is the flatest area of my country, with Aquitaine. So nothing's wrong here.

Excellent update, I love the music in the videos, its perfect, conveys a sense of history along. So will the stuka pilot be rescued?

Very interesting! I can remember thinking the same thing of certain areas of France I have flown over, but others have reminded me of England, with there being a large patchwork of hedges. I have a picture of some Blenheims over France, and the variety of hedges can clearly be seen.

I haven't been around since quite some time now and the last I saw of SoW were out-of-engine renders of ingame assets.

I must say I'm quite impressed.
Overall it seems like an up-to-date variant of what we all know and love.

But still I have to ask wether the clouds are temporary or not?
They seem like placeholders straight from IL-2 and the new lighting engine rather literally shines a spotlight on their slight antiguity.

Except that it's not.
