Good question Yogi, I want to know that too...

Hello Oleg

If you decide to make the campaigns short individual missions, could you make it possible for the user to make one continuous mission covering a full day of the Battle of Britain. Where the user or program enters the, times of raids, number, type of aircraft, and target in a historical or otherwise format. Then let the RAF AI determine response to these raids from Radar and other sources. This could make full use of the rearm and refuel option.

I like this idea.

Three questions:

1) Will it be possible to set a train on fire or destroy some of the cargo without the train stopping (like in real life)? Will locomotive boilers be appropriately durable? Will it be possible for the 3rd party to make the train player controllable?

2) Will the AI be open at all to editing/modding?

3) Will the weathering effect on aircraft be applied to terrain at some point? It would be neat to see slight variations in textures between missions (eg. in a mission after it rains some spring textures would be used)

Thanks, as always I am stunned

thanks for the update

Those new pictures are quite beautiful.

How would you describe the graphics scale? Would you say something like Blazing Angels, 1946, or somewhere in between?

Looks like SOW will be "as real as can be".

Will Aircraft panels be blown off in combat? (Example: Top Cowling, Engine Cover left/right side...)

I can already imagine those train car doors flying high upon explosion

Thanks for the update. Those soft shadows look amazing!

The weathering looks great. Is it still planned to add other layers, too, like oilstreaks, remains of the exhaust on the fuselage or wings?

One thing that I found very amazing in B17-TheMightyEighth was the effect a damaged engine had on the wings and elevators. Oil-leakes 'painted' the parts behind the leak black and a fire destroyed the skin. Considering the detail, I guess we see something similar in BoB?
