Oleg, buy yourself a drink, have a day off, relax. This looks beautiful.

Can I ask Oleg, what-in your opinion-is the one aspect from what we see here which needs the most improvement?

On some frame is visible direct split line of horizon. Not everywhere, because this split line became visible (should be something like on Bf109 everning scene split of sky) due to bug in code right before the Igromir and right before some video I begun to record.

Sound. The sound you heard is the old try. Some time even missed. Because the final sound you will listen only in final release.

Colors are not final really

Camera: there is a lot of optoions, that are not tuned. But the amount of options - filmakers will be very happy.

Effects, rounds on the water, water itself, beach, trees lods - all should be tuned in better way or replaced already by the final effects that was implemnented insted of placeholders.

Traccers of different type (smoked for example). It is already, but not present in a video.

As I told this video is from early beta. How knows how much time it take to produce - will understand me. So... i wasn't able to put new scenes in already ready project sequence, except the change Russian for English.

On exhibition is also demonstrated separate presentation video about some unique technologies. Maybe I will do it late in english with new video materials, but more close to release. As well as Su-26 video also demonstrated. But Su-26 had not tuned igauges, had some glitches in the details of cockpit.

Just one small but important point ... I don't think the cliff tops had trees on or near them in 1940.[U] Today, the cliff tops just have plain green [/U]meadows, with no vegetation.

The frame rates were lovely and smooth and the detail over the built up areas was amazing. Everything's looking just superb.

Not so peter, plenty of trees and gorse then and now, but no trees on the beaches. Cheers, [ex resident before and after the war].

That stuka video was made with decreased plane texture settings, lower light scatter rendering and reflections?! Wow! I mean, really, WOW! Excellent work, Oleg & team. That looks beautiful!

Read carefully, the IGROMIR video was recorder with reduced settings.
The stuka video is here to show how it should look ...

Sorry! My excitement got the better of me and I posted before watching the second vid.:p I see now and was coming back to edit my post. Yes, I can't really imagine it being better than how it looks in the stuka one. Excellent!

My ohhh my

Excellent as always Oleg, can't wait? 2011 mkay?

Oleg i really like your job, this new game will be the best sim ever produced

Stunning! "From the creators of award winning IL-2 Sturmovik." The box needs this on the cover at the very least. Watching the videos took me back to the old CFS2 days when a Russian team offered stunning cockpit addons for the game.

That train sequence! Foo'bar because of you I'm going to become a train watcher

Edit: watching a second time it sunk in how powerful that "Cliffs of Dover" title is. It's subtle but effective and in the long run the title will be defined by the quality of the sim. Not to over analyze but "Cliffs of Dover" just feels right somehow. Maybe the "Battle of Britain" title has seen too much use already.
