Thank you very much Oleg, impressive water detail. S!

Oleg, do you plan to animate the pilots' head movements to follow the view the player uses in the cockpit, TrackIR or otherwise? I thought that was a very nice detail in the Rise of Flight videos I saw. A bit pointless, perhaps, but the guy is our little virtual avatar.

In Il-2 there was such a feature for AI pilots. In Rise of flight there is simple animation of pilot that instead of radio may give some commands by hand. However animation there is not like in FPS games when we look close up.

I can't tell you now what we plan to have... because we have some limited time. But you will see something more than in Il-2

Every time I read you mention limited time it dawns on me that SOW is getting closer faster.
I know you will not entertain speculation on when you will release the game, but just hearing you mention a time limit is fantastic.
Great water effect way better than Silenthunter 4.
Awesome!

But in Rise of Flight is possible to see the head movements from a pilot, even online. (TrackIR)

Would that be also possible in SoW?

I can already hear my PC howling for mercy. And I mean the PC I have yet to buy for SoW.

Lovely shots.

As always the nicest things are off the focus

- The transparent water looks great and pretty realistic!

- The lighting of the trees is great. They also look very detailed and diverse, not like the same tree just cloned over and over again.

Lovely!

Oleg,

Nice water effect and nice boats.

Oleg, I wonder what might happen when aircraft
lands on the water, might it stay afloat for a while?

Yes.

Guys,

I'm sorry, I really should run at home.
Last week I was really sick and come in office today to make some news and shots.

I will take a look on Monday this topic. And will answer interesting or these that I can already now answer questions.

Also probably next development update you will see on SimHq. I promised this week, but got unexpected illness.


Till Monday
