This is a very informative movie.
Re-arm and refuel in under 8 minutes, eh? That is better than I would have thought.

As for the update, I say that it is just truly extraordinary!
Thank you Oleg for your continued dedication to make the best sim ever conceived.

Have a look at this:



IMO this is how some of England should be looking, and notice the fact that the tree-trunks are so obscured.

Thanks for the pics Oleg. The quality of your work is simply stunning.

Something new to me was the way the skin has been torn up around the cannon holes in that hurri - 3D damage effect...amazing.

In my opinion the aircraft skins are perfect - colours, weathering, lustre. The aircraft look so solid and real now. You really feel like you could reach out and touch them. The glass reflections make a big difference too.

I don't know about you guys but I'm going to be quite happy just sitting back and watching these beautiful machines in action. For me it's like history coming alive.

Well done guys, you really deserve an award for this ground breaking masterpiece.

One quick question please: Will the aircrew figures be seen gripping gun handles and yokes etc? I guess the modelling of this would be too difficult but you never know.

This is getting better and better. Now, i just hope that by "mid-range PC with an older GPU" luthier means a previous generation quad core with a late series nVidia 8800...this would make my i7 920/Ati 4890 look more than adequate for running it. Or he could mean an i5 with an Ati 4870/nVidia 285 range GPU, in which case the performance difference wouldn't be that huge and i'd have to scale down on some detail, because i'm just engaging in wishful thinking

In any case, i'm glad to see that a mid-range PC running SoW can reach an acceptable compromise between performance and visual quality. In fact, that's exactly what i used to do back in the day when i couldn't run IL2 at max detail...i would use max detail on aircraft and low on the ground textures.

Message to Olaf and his Crew... I think you are the definition of Genius...
Thank you for all of your hard work!
