Had to watch again..... and again.

Any body want some?



Another thing I haven't seen mentioned yet if formation sizes. They looked bigger than I expected. Hopefully this is a good sign.

Very nice video, thanks Oleg.

If I was developing MS Flight I would curl up in a little ball knowing my job was now impossible. Excellent features right down to the signs on buildings (Joes books), to the aircraft splitting in half.

Also the fact that you can see through the cannon holes in the fuselage, into the inside of the plane!

Just beautiful.

I think Oleg is a bit of a showman...tease tease bam!

Actually, "Joe's Bookstore" is going to be New York, not London 1940, but I doubt I'll see it ever again

[TheGrunch]

Absolutely wonderful...now I'm only wondering whether I'll survive the wait.

The video was made in basically 1 week after access was granted to the game, same basic gameplay as IL-2 and easy to learn and use.

Shadows were turned down.

Sometimes vulnerability was off, realistic gunnery off, etc. just to make it easier to capture the desired situation.

Slow motion was obtained by recording at very slow game speeds, much slower than IL-2 1946.

The movie was made in full HD mode at 25fps

Kindly note that the game made available to me was still a BETA version and it would be undesirable for me to comment on any technical or gameplay matters

The only comment I am prepared to make is that this game will totally surprise everyone.

Thanks for the information, it explains everything in a very satisfactory way. Also thanks for making this awesome movie for the developers and the community.

Finally, your last comment is making me all the more impatient to try it out

Just had to say thanks Oleg (and crew) for your dedication and efforts.

I have been patiently waiting for this title for years (having bought all your IL2 products); the Battle of Britain is my favourite conflict of all time.

I must say your teaser videos just keep getting better and better, and the detail and excitement of the combat in tonights offering is just breathtaking!

I am enjoying the tantalising experience of waiting during this last final period, because (being middle-aged) I don't think I will ever see another Battle of Britain simulator that will come anywhere near the high mark that CoD is scoring!

Thanks again, you've made one virtual flyer very happy (yes, I have pre-ordered the collectors edition)


Regards,
BobTuck.
