I see a problem though!

This was 'found' and posted before Friday........what the heck is Oleg going to post now for the Friday update!!?

Better be good

Cheers, MP

-NITPICKING MODE ON-!!!!!

its a great shot and your right the lighting is very very nice....but does the canopy glass look abit clean and perfect?...i wonder if we will get the tiny canopy scratches when looking through it?

plus would be great to see lots of dirt and stuff thrown up when belly landing in a field.

That's pretty much excellent and will make us appreciate how these aircraft were really flown, because it effectively disables tools we have and they didn't, like hotas macros: in order for a macro to work without wrestling control of the aircraft away from you, adequate delays between each action would have to be part of the macro and this means it could be the same as manually pressing the keys on your keyboard in sequence.

It's a great and very ingenious feature.

- Item Pilot, as in RPG, allows the smallest details to customize the look of your alter-ego, changing everything: the type of suit, helmet, goggles, pants, shoes, etc. I think no need to mention once again that all the details of flight uniforms fully correspond to their actual samples in 1940

- Secondly, in the management of arms has been created for the horizontal and vertical mixing, as well as the type of ammunition or gun belt for each barrel! For example, the "Spitfire» Mk.I, with eight Browning caliber 7.69 mm, with each of the guns you can now tinker separately.

i hope we get tomorrow some pictures from London by night with a cool german Bomber attack (shooting Flak, Searchlights and fire)

I understand you can man flak guns in CoD.
This certainly is something new and ive never seen this with other combatsims.
Also the level of customization in CoD looks awesome.

Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.

Let me edit this and comment on the screenshots, the options in particular.
Simply beyond ANYTHING I was imagining which is what I have been saying for years...that Oleg would do more than we could have hoped or imagined for.
