Especially on the last screenshot there is a rather obvious fault reoccurring, that already let IL-2 down quite a bit.
The scaling of the texture is all wrong. I know it is a placeholder, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it like this on the final ones. Just compare the size of the runway and the road. Besides, I had high hopes to not see roads that are part of the texture again... Another thing is that the bump map is the wrong way around. The roads are raised instead of the fields, which is even more pronounced in the Ju88 shots. Well, here is hoping that the finals will surpass the quality of some of the new maps made by the mod community, which are head and shoulders above these.

Believe it is still way too early to judge what the final map will look like from these shots.
For starters no trees or buildings are visible - the forested areas are obviously just flat placeholders. I expect there will be a representation of hedgerows in the final version which will really add to an English countryside feel. Oleg did mention they were working on the river banks / coastlines textures to try to get them right. Also, and surprised it's necessary to state the bleedin' obvious again : Quote:

I suspect that some of what appears to be roads are actually going to be the hedgerows. (Could be wrong on this, but if you look at the screenshots you will find that just about EVERY field has what appears to be a road around its perimeter - and there is obviously NO WAY that every English field was so well served in 1940 (or even now!)) But check the photo of the French countryside in Slipball's post a few back - hedgerows around nearly every field - and the English one's will be the same. (Hope I'm right on this  )

Right. I think as the weeks go by people tend to forget what has passed and been shown. Those pics of the Spitfire and 109 are great. I would love to see some videos of those zooming by but that will be coming I'm sure sooner or later.

Love the look of the new WIP screenshots- the look of the crew crowded together in the Ju88 looks fantastic. I would love to see a closer screenshot to see how the shadowing looks on them.
The shot of the rings with the Tiger Moth looks great- i vital element missing from the Il2 series was enough emphasis on training elements for novice pilots. I believe the Il2 community came up with good solutions to this gap, however seeing a proper trainer aircraft with what appears to be a proper training routine looks brilliant. With the new game engine that i understand will simulate weather more accurately (headwinds, tailwinds, shear (?) etc) such training will be invaluable. Looking at the formation of Ju88's, will it be possible to create formations of 'boxes', with smaller elements of larger formations staggered in height to maximise defensive fire? Keep the hints coming Oleg- i am getting seriously interested now!
