There is a fair amount of colour footage available from the period, so this is a good source

The smoke seems ok, but it looks like a long caterpillar. Maybe it should disperse more quickly? I'm also assuming the shadows are WIP as some parts don't seem to "connect".

Great screen shots- the lighting on the Bf-109 looks excellent.

S!

Nice update again. I bet seeing all this in motion on a screen would make most of us drool like small babies

I´m not so worried about a delay, because this is probably the most complex flight sim ever and deserves time to be finished properly.
AND rumours are saying that ATI 6870 will be out Q1-Q2 2011 , to be 20% faster than GTX 480.Imagine in Crossfire...

Yeah I would definately wait, this time next year and we should know more about the spec's required.

Thank you Oleg.

Smoke cloud is too dense in shot_20100628_134750.jpg.

Should be dispersing and not opaque in the right hand half of the picture.

Whoa! Flak looks right on! Reminds me of B-17II (but better)!

Agree with others that damage smoke looks too thick, and maybe too long lasting, but also realize this is WIP.

All in all, great!

Shite! I meant for that to be a "thumbs up", sorry!

But other than that I might be falling in love with you all over again!

Thanks for my weekly fix Oleg. These updates are getting better and better.

Absolutely love the flak and flame effects.

Well done.

When viewing a large formation of aircraft like that, will the individual planes bob around a little like you see in the wartime footage? That would be amazing.
