Well said, i totally agree.

In a few words, before give us the Double decker with drivers included, please give us England.

P.S.: We'll have different landscape (textures) for France and England?

Maybe later in time

This is IMO very good news. Personally i think that animated ground crew its more important that animated pilots or gunners. Because usually the distace between aircraft is too big to really notice the pilot or gunner inside other aircraft. But when you take off or land, that's when having animated human figures of ground crew and pilots become important and make a way more immersive and beleivable "living" world.
I understand that animated ground crew demands a lot of resources, and its more dificult to achieve this in multiplayer because it more object that data have to be send and receive, but i think its a key point, specially for single player, to make the world more alive.

It's getting hard to say which one is best now...

People could like more the picture below, but its obvious much more realistic the first picture even if there still room for improvement.

As i perceive it you are always in search for sources that have information on ww2 airplanes.
Two weeks ago is was in the Czech republic where I visited a sailplane factory.
This factory also manufactures astounding museum quality models if you would like to

ill promise you wont be disappointed.

Cheers,

Niels

Of course, I know we can't ask for the same levels of details in a combat sim (with all the other parameters to compute outside the graphical aspects), but something heading this way, at least for the color palette and the natural implantation of the elements.

1st: I watched it on 720p/fullscreen. Is it possible it has have micro-stuttering on fast moving objects? Almost made me vomit.

2nd: Those trees are a JOKE. Look at the red (beech?) at 2.13, I really dont need this crap.

To me the red trees look ok.

Of course i see them almost daily from our office window.
Actually what I'm seeing is even more vivid than those in the vid.

Pity they're really starting to shed they're leaves now as i was planning to take some photographs as soon I get my camera back from a CLA.

The cranky complainers and the fanboisie are united in one thing: waiting expectantly for the SoW to come out. We're all in it together, people. Both sides show massive enthusiasm even if they don't say so.
