Finally sharp terrain textures from altitude! Cities and their background look excellent, neat little details like street lamps. For the best looking terrain screenshots so far.

These shots really show how the "texture" of SOW is shaping up. The small details, the lighting, the rolling countryside with widely varying fields, the abso-freaking-lutely beautiful aircraft, are coming together nicely.

You must be pretty proud of your baby, Oleg.

Thank you guys so much for a wonderful update !!

Oleg: Is it possible to land the aircraft in a typical field and then take off again like in IL-2, or are players going to be limited to airstrips and possibly roadways? Do different ground areas allow for different surface types? I remember a pic of a spitfire in a wheat field, but has that changed?

Another thing, that first picture got me thinking, can ordinance blow up due to the aircraft being on fire? Say your bomber is on fire, you do a landing that leaves it intact, can on-board bombs explode if the aircraft continues to burn? Or do all aircraft burn the IL-2 way? (burn->explode)

Lets wait for these answers when I will know all details of release version (what is and what was removed temporary)

Looking great! Very hi res images in 2560 x 1600. Must be quite a beast of a machine to play at that resolution.

Is that a golf course in the second picture at the bottom?

lol @ Dano - beat me to it

Storm of War the final tee!
