The Macchi 200 is very nice.. or is it a G.50?.. love the clouds and depth in the view

There seems to be a hole in the stabilizer of the spits? Is this just a rendering issue or skins issue.. easily fixed I'm sure.. it is visible also on the far spit..

I don't think that's a hole, it looks like the mechanism for the elevator trim tabs.

I think you maybe mean the elevator rather than 'stabilizer'? It is the trim tab actuating mechanism I think.

Yup that's it! It looks like a hole or a render bug because the elevator is gray while the trim tab actuator is the same brown as the fuselage skin. It's an optical illusion.

Looking great but the lettering on the Spit should be grey - not white.

S! Comp

Nice with a Beaufighter shot for a change!

Off to LA and E3 now?

The shots are starting to feel a lot less Alpha and more Beta now - so when will some kind of marketing campaign start - and by which publisher?

Good luck! /Mazex

Has a flight simulator ever been really marketed (other than the MS CFS series and a couple TV spots for Pacific Fighters)?

P.S.
Very nice to see that some of the older AI models are making it into the sim.

The clouds in the first two shots are starting to look pretty darn good.

I finally figured out what was bothering me about some of the other cloud pics- the bottoms of the clouds are too round. Most developed cumulus have well defined, flat bottoms. For that matter, a developing cu will have well defined edges on the top, also, when viewed from a reasonable distance.
