Watched this 10 times already. Seems like the fire evolves/spreads too. As he is looking over his right shoulder as the spit leans in, you can see 2-3 new types of smoke erupting from the spit. Probably engine fire caused some other system failures and maybe started lighting up the fuel tank infront of the instrument panel causing the pilot to crash. Don't know, but this is like a damage-model sandbox from what I can tell

Epicness!

Looks great especially that wingless Hurri - British Ohka!

Cannot wait to get a new rig and buy this game!

I don't think the in-cockpit sounds are unreasonable. Now, the sound quality in this video isn't great, but it gives an idea. Keep in mind that my camera and I had no hearing protection (4:00 ish and onwards)

It's a muffled, but still loud, roar with a sort of whooshing sound. So, basically, the sounds aren't far off. Maybe they should be just a little higher-pitch with more piston noise given the engine position.

If you compare to other flight sims, such as the highly praised A2A Spit, the sounds are also similar. (11:00)

Now, the exterior sounds are definitely underwhelming, but I don't think they're final.

I spotted that one too, it's like the situation was getting progressively worse for the AI pilot

This actually has some bomb impacts in this one which I had yet to see. I was hoping for a few more bell and whistle effects such as pressure waves and physics on the environment but I suppose its not a major thing.

This guy is actually flying with complex engine management enabled too, good one. He's the same guy who uploaded the Heinkel vid (good demonstration of the reworked external cameras). He takes the time to show more in-depth stuff than most "QMB dogfight on arcade settings" videos that we've been seeing, like actual gameplay mechanics (the gunner's hood opening in the 110, the gunner shaking during maneuvers, etc)

Lixma's videos were also very encouraging, especially the one demonstrating a high speed pull-out in a 109 and how the needles jolt around at high speeds along with the camera shake, really gives you the impression that your aircraft is about to break up in mid-air. There's more nice touches in his vids like showing the 109 slats in action, the whiskey compass taking some time to settle after maneuvers and so on.

They were not rock steady smooth in regards to FPS (which means they are not made with the in-game video tool that prevents FPS loss and as such they are a realistic benchmark) and there are some strange things happening from time to time, but it definitely looks playable on a small scale to me for such an early stage (meaning, small skirmishes until i learn the ropes and they have time to patch some stuff).
More and more each day i get the impression that all this game needs is a couple of months and a few patches. That Blenheim (yes, of all things ) skimming the tree-tops was awesome

That A2A Spit is much more realistic. The Hurricane vid I commented on earlier isn't even in the same ballpark as that A2A Spit. There's even a real life in cockpit clip in there showing how it sounds when he runs up the engine/prop so that you can compare.

Bearcat, have a listen. If you haven't tried RoF yet I can understand you but RoF has loads better engine sounds than what I've seen from released CoD vids. Thursday man, thursday.

We are starting to see much smoother videos now,so I'm starting to feel a lot happier about things.

Actually the thing I'm disappointed with from these videos is the radio chatter. I was looking forward to an improvement on the IL2 one but this one is worse.

It sounds like a recording studio, like someone in a room and it appears to only use one voice.

I don't know if it's because I speak German but the German one just doesn't sound convincing; it sounds too modern. And the lack of a regional accent makes it sound too clinical.

You know how people sound funny in old movies, and nobody really talks like that anymore, well it's the same with this.

The IL2 ones were better I'd rather have those ones back than this one.
