Two new (at least to me) screenshots here...

Even if the ground and houses textures are still WIP, a photographer'eye will immediately acknowledge the photorealistic 3D potential of the render engine !

@Oleg, Luthier or the dev team : thinking of the game textures, has anybody ever thought (of course, if it is technically possible) to paint the textures with dozen of millions of polys with softwares like ZBrush or 3D Coat and then bake them on the objects with a simple color map ? If this can be used for dragoon skin or troll heads, it could perhaps be used too for fields, cliffs or houses ?

Loving the sun glints off the canopy, should make spotting aircraft a lot easier depending on your position

Hi Oleg. Great to see these progress images. Very exciting! I have a few small questions:

1. I see right side "messages" text are still present (although maybe this is for development only). Will there be an option to turn off "kill" messages like "enemy tank destroyed" (which I find to be an immersion killer), while retaining engine management messages like throttle percentages (which I find necessary due to lack of tactile feedback in a sim)?

2. Will credit be given for damaging but not destroying ships, bridges and other important targets that might take multiple sorties to destroy?

O-M-F-G!!

After looking at these last screenshots, I don't think I'll like the game...

The thing is, I'm not sure if I could shoot these aircraft... It would be a crime to even scratch them, in the way they are modelled .

Absoluteley great work. The sun reflecting on the cockpit glass, looks perfect. The terrain looks better. And you guys still say it's not even close to what it will look, and it will be much improved ?!

Looking foward to next friday already !

Incredible pictures! If you didn't know it, you would think these screenshots of the planes are real photos.

Just one question if I may:
What about the human physical factor in SOW? Will pilots get tired when exposed to high g forces or will it still be possible to fly extrem evasive manoeuvres for hours?

Thanks for the great work!

Yes, the planes are so perfect you will have to model pilots, so we can land, get out, polish our windshields and clean off any dirt
