Indeed great update. Hard to pick a favorite shot among them.

Two question that come to mind:

1. The building in the first shot is one of Foobars and is clearly a German building, yet it does house British vehicles. Is this just a result of a random mix or do you plan to use his buildings out of context?

2. The shadows from other planes and the whole environment, will they be drawn on the inside of the cockpit as well? So in cockpit view, say we taxi along a line of trees, will the shadows of the leafs and branches be visible on the inside of the cockpit?

My first thought also was that it doesn't look very English, especially with that roof. I agree that it looks like Foo'bar's modelling style. Foo'bar, is it German?
Maybe it is a French fire station? We haven't seen many (or any?) French buildings yet.

The house is very much German.
But I wouldn't take that very seriously. I think it's just an example to give us a screenshot. Doesn't worry me at all.

Yes it is a german fire station, built in 1934. MG is trying to take over as much of my buildings for BoB as possible. But since SoW will hopefully face more theatres later nothing will be built for nothing

Great pictures and wonderful to see how SoW is progressing.

One thing that caught my eye particularly is the sea in the Condor shot. Water has come a long way since IL2, looks totally realistic. Great work !
