Again, the little details are amazing. Just look at the coolant lines inside that radiator opening - awesome!

Well, those ducts are installed to carry warm air from behind the radiator to the gun positions to keep them warm enough for instant operation at high altitudes.   Fig 10, A.P. 1565E Vol I Sect 11 (not a Mk I manual ) . ... Last edited by Rodolphe42; 03-12-2010 at 06:26 PM.

I guess there will be an option to turn the rings off (in the training pic).
What i liked most was that they seem to have really researched the aircraft operating manuals. If you take a look at the messages, the instructor says he's unlocking the slats for you. Well, the Tiger Moth slats were automatic, but could be locked in the closed position so that they wouldn't open when you don't expect it during maneuvers. Since they are useful for takeoff and landing however, the usual thing to do was start with them unlocked, lock them after take off and then finally unlock them again during the approach. Excellent attention to detail not only modelling that, but also having the "experienced instructor" do it for us "rookies" and also tell us about it, so that we gradually start learning about such stuff and remembering it in future flights. That's exactly the kind of stuff i wanted to see in SoW, the little things that will keep our hands full even when there's no combat around.

About the training hoops, I think that anything that gets new pilots into the sim with as little trouble as possible is a good thing. Hey even us "experienced" pilots could use a little refresher at times. A lot of us (myself included) perform some very dodgy landings at times that would probably get us grounded for life. a bit of practice in using the correct procedures wouldn't hurt! Cheers!

Even though the terrain is WIP, do you mind telling us what you plan to do with it? Overall, I like what I see. The rivers seem like a huge improvement already, and I love the appearance of the Channel.

This is looking very good! I really like the Spit's bottom. About the skins. What are you using? 2048x2048 or less?
A take the edges of the wings as you are not using AA any level at allow.

Hi Oleg/Luthier, I have a new question:
in IL-2 the distant terrain texture looks a little blurry, and BoB looks the same. I´ve seen some screenshots of ROF an unlike this screenshots, the terrain of ROF keeps detailed over distance. I know that anisotropic filtering gives more detail, but it seems that the engine reduces the texture quality on long distances/high altitude. Is that correct? Greetings!
