Reminds me of bf1942....early days. Where will be in 5 years?! It can only be brilliance that awaits us.

Looks so good! Can't wait for the patch!

Last week after seeing the AAA I thought, I should post something like "Now I only need a car to drive through the landscape.", but didn't do it, cause it's a flightsim...
One week later: Tadaaaa!

Nice! Thanks a lot for the update!

Thanks B6. Looking forward to the patch and BoM. I like the fall palette and the A4 looks quite interesting.

Interesting stuff that will widen the appeal of the sim considerably.

I do hope with your physics model that you give the vehicles some momentum from the point after they are hit, that sequence where the truck that's just passed the tank transporter gets straffed by the 110, one moment its moving normally then instantly its hit, wrecked and stopped dead, reminds me of the ships in il2, soon as they were hit they stopped dead in the water - all 10,000's tons of them! I know its a flight sim, but now you've started doing vehicles, to maintain the realism, please do it properly. I did like the sharp turn that rolled the vehicle over, just needs that bit adding in the physics betweeen undamaged and totally wrecked, to avoid killing the immersion.

Q. Will crew animations, you know 'the gazillions that were left on the shelf' ever make it to the sim? The drivers and crew in the vids still look like manikins; this sim's outlook is getting better each week, I do hope it one day gells all the promised and in production parts into the sim we all crave.

hey,thanks for the update!!!great stuff, i have to say i like the ground action more and more, with a good ideas and gameplay support it can develop in huge online battles, wonder how acurrate is the damage model of the ground units. The possibility to drive to your plane is awsome, i would love to see more animation of humans. Really depend on how all the stuff will be implemented in to the game.Keep the great work!!!

Thanks for an excellent update BlackSix/Luthier.

I said from day one I wanted to drive around the landscape!

The news re: patch and FM is very encouraging.

[JG52Krupi]

New FM sounds impressive will have to see what Bongo and Tuckie make if it

[ChrisDNT]

Is it me or the colors in the vids look much better, much more realistic ?
And I said that, being a long-term "ukrainian-green" hater

[philip.ed]

I haven't trawled through the 21 pages yet, but the cockpits and colours in the video look a lot better (like the ones from a previous Beta).

Awesome update! Thanks!
