They seem to have no depth from sight of the sky.


Rest is nice.

PFF, what do you expect, they have to make concessions.
It still has to run on our PC's.

Thanks for the understanding

[QUOTE=dflion;172629]Thanks luthier for update

Just a couple of things 'bugging me'

1. The Hurricane propeller shape is not right (I will follow-up asaspo with a couple of photo scans) from the book 'My Part of the Sky' by Roland Beamont.

This has been covered before. There were a number of different spinner profiles used and this is a good representation of one of them. I think I remember someone saying that some Hurris were fitted with constant speed spitfire units which were slightly oversize and required an oil collection ring to be fitted behind the spinner to prevent escaped oil from getting on the screen. I think this might be one of those.

Thanks Sutts and Avimimus for clearing up my query, though I don't think the prop is right. I have attached some photo scans. One of the photos titled 'Scramble' on a French airfield clearly shows 2 prop types, on the others the prop is much more pointed.

In real life some of the 109s did and some didn't during BoB. A similar situation to the Hurricane. If I recall correctly there were at least two Bf-109 micro-variants planned for this sim.

indeed! there was no "standard" how the 109 looked like during BoB.
the main versions were E-4 and E-1.

they could have the rounded or later canopy.
"external" windshield armour or not.
head armour or not.
rearview mirror or not.

its pure in 1Cs decission how the ingame 109E will look like !!
all is correct

You're right, but when looking at it from an angle, like in pic #3, you should see some of it's thickness, specially near the axis, where it is moving slower. I see they try to implement it by inserting some shaded segments into the prop disc, but it looks odd. I've seen WIP pics shot from the side, there you clearly saw that the rotating prop is thick, but now it's totally flat.

I hope all of you WIP, whiner cry baby bitches are happy that we all now have to do without real progress updates!

That’s what happens when you revert to behaviour similar to your first childhood experience of difference.

Jesus, what is the average age in this forum?

[KOM.Nausicaa]

Probably around 14...yes, sad we get restricted updates now. Great shot, thanks for posting Luthier.

[Thunderbolt56]

lmao...some things never change.

I swooped in...now I swoop out.

See ya next week.
