Still impressed most by how "solid" the aircraft look. Its quite striking to me. Is it just a feature of the resolution? or the polygon count? Its like the perfect shape has been achieved and that makes the model look like a solid item.
Fantastic work anyway,

Thank you sir. Very nice work from the crew and the updates are appreciated.

Is there any other games developer who spends the time to talk to the community like this? Cheers Oleg, great work on your part.

Just one simple question: is the game still on the tables for a release this year?

I hope we would not die doing it.... we should finish.
I personally working over the next sim theater.... doing the doc what should be there that to make it interesting for all...
And two variants of theaters... depending of possible calculated in future income.... I hope you understand me right.

So does that mean that it will be released soon, because you are already looking towards the future? A lot is already here for a North-African theatre

If I understood Oleg correctly, he meant 'if we don't die in the attempt, we should finish'. As your question asked if it would be released this year, this implies that it will.
Or is that just my own wishful thinking? It would be a shame if release didn't coincide with the 70th anniversary year.
Here's hoping for 15th September release to make it perfect............!

Yep, this is great and unique that you take time to awnser our questions !
in other big productions they only do small teaser videos and don't ask anyone if it looks good or not... they just say it's perfect...

so, just a question !
in the screens with the Hurri being at a pretty low altitude, we don't see any grass, was it desactivated for the screens or is it just still too far to see it ?
i can say it would require a lot of PC ressources to have them from a good distance so, will this be an option ? scalable ?

The grass take a lot of resorces in the fligth sim (great surface covered to show). So it is switching smoothly off at some distance. Currently it is neccessary.

I should run at home.

So will read all on Monday then.
