Nice update.

But why does the Bf110C-7 have the wrong pitot tube and the extended rudder trim tabs? It jumped at me right away. The same issues like in IL-2.

Sorry, but the texture on the Bf110 is as blurred as in Il-2. What is the improvement here?

Self-shading, even visible in the canopy if you have good eyes. We don't have that in Il-2.

Oleg, these are nice pictures, but the clouds look too much like cotton-balls IMO from above. From above, I think we should be able to see even more particles on the clouds then what is currently modelled, like this:

I said texture.. not texture effects...

The texture is 2 times greater in geometric size then in Il-2. Can you calculater in square?

In future probably you may add own texture and fly only alone without any other AI or online mates, because you computer will be able to calcualte resolution of all things(not just texture, but result of all things arount it) just for one aircraft but not for the hundreds and even not for the 10.

If you will give me real copy of manufacture production drawings that would show pitot in other place or other size, and trim tabs less then made, then I will ask to rework. If just several photos with different details, nothing will be done.

Same for spit. Most if not all fligth manuals have difference to real things. There are early flight manuals schemes and late for one the same aircraft. The early is for the first production series that went in troops. Late - for the whole series. And even in late - not always made the changes of production series. I have even one flight manual with the marks of real thing different to the real, that are done in squadron (as a sample).
The most correct things may say just engineers that were involved in production. I knew just one such old engineer, that died alredy.

Most aircraft already freezed in development and are in tunings of internal structure, engines, etc. In most cases will be no changes before release.
