[QUOTE=major_setback;234395]Maybe they are aiming at this colour?

Could well be for that is certainly not BRG. Beautiful example but question whether a TA ever left the production line in that shade of green. Wish I had a 1936 brochure.

If a "bumber" in the U.K. is generally the front and rear protective pieces, here in the U.S. we call 'em "bumpers".

No, in the UK it is definitely called a bumper.

Apologies to all - mis-spelling, intended to write "bumper".

Nice to know its the same in the US.

my point was, that there are so many factors involved, that Oleg is simply unable to cover them all. Even the naked eye in certain lighting conditions sees the "lasers"

from what I've seen on the videos posted so far, I can only congratulate Oleg and team to achieve some realy groundbraking features, which will certanly shape the future of this genre. I can see some not so good things on the videos/screenshots too, but I'm pretty sure they know about them and that they are not going to leave them out. But COD has been in development for almost 6 years now, and it is time to finish it with all the features, "bugs" and all things some people don't like. Knowing Oleg and the team from the past, they will continue developing the series. Be sure

I seem to recall that american folk refer to a motorcycle mudguard as a 'fender' so the mudguard confusion is understandable, however with cars the american 'fender' is referred to as a 'wing' in the uk, unless you're referring to the famous guitar manufacturer of which I own two.

Also what on earth has this got to do with our much anticipated flight sim?!
Surely we're not really complaining about the width of mudguards/fenders/wings on a virtual mg in a flight sim? Or are we?

Confused of Milton Keynes.
