Excellent post Oleg! I love fridays.

By seeing the great reflections on the cockpit glass, I was wondering if they will be visible from long distances. I remember from the times I was in an airplane that reflections on the ground really caught my attention. It would be nice if you could spot planes from long distances by those flashes.

I hope yes. Right now it isn't like in real life. But I would like to have it realistic and not like the all the time winking. It should be really rare effect and almost not visible in some diection and distances.

Ok, hard to explain with my poor English... Simply I want to get it not like the hack... We will see in final...

Thanks for the reply Oleg! I can imagine those reflections are not an easy thing to simulate realistically. I only thought it was worth to ask by seeing the nice light-effects in the pictures. And somehow it doesn't surprise me to know that you and your team were really working on complex things like that .

I still have another question. I'm gonna do it on this forum because I don't know where else to put it. As I live in the Belgian town of Wevelgem I really hope the airfield of Wevelgem will be included. It was used by KG26 (heinkels with codeletters 1H) during their bombing raids on London and was the Belgian military flight school before the war. If there is one thing I could do to give you information, I would be glad to help. I suppose you and development team aren't in the stage of making 3D buildings anymore, but I suppose any information about where they were placed on this airfield and in the neighbourhood is useful? I was thinking about hangars, FLAK locations, remarkable buildings,...

If somebody else on this forum knows where I have to direct this kind of information. Feel free to say so.
