Fast giro spinner, at last in 109G.

just went back to replaying IL2, it's still a classic!

A few bugs though that are annoying, hope they are are fixed in SOW.

(1) AI planes target a enemy plane far off in the distance and ignore enemy in their windscreen.
(2) AI gunners on some bombers fire at open space when enemy is near.
(3) AI planes when taking off ignore if the plane in front is on fire and try to takeoff, exploding when they hit it.

As to SOW, it would be great when a plane lands to re-arm / refuel if ground crew actually run out and a fuel truck moves out to your plane and you see them in action. Seeing resting pilots relaxing in chairs, laying on the ground while waiting to be scrambed would be totally sick also.

I'd like to see some shots of ordnance in the next picture update. RAF and Luftwaffe bombs.

Yeah, and combat AI is unrealistic, if you fight with jet against biplane, ,,the biplane is better''

I'm very impressed with the terrain shots in IL-2 BOP. They are by far the best I've seen in any flight sim, but I believe SOW will be even better. I'm also interested in seeing how the BOP terrain looks at 100M.

The Bop terrain looks very very much like the SOW terrain that Oleg ditched and restarted in 2007. So it should be a whole lot better.

Very impressing screenshots!

I'm just stating opinion here...But I'll bet that when Oleg starts posting "in-game" screen shots we are all going to be quite pleased with what we see.

I have thought that perhaps this was a reason why Oleg was keeping the "in-game" "up-dates" under wraps...it did seem that some of the game/map moders where "influenced" by the new "SoW BoB" look. Didn't someone use one of the map tiles that Oleg posted? Ball-zay...

Anyway... A QUESTION for Oleg...Hello!

I'm really curious about the distance at which detail will be visible? How will this be handled? How are you going to deal with the issue of buildings "popping into view"? How far are we going to be able to see details? This is a real immersion issue with me...Thanks!

+1
Also clouds popping into view as well, another IL2 trait I hope SOW will end for good
