Incredibly nice grass - I like the unevenness. Plane shine is perfected.
Nice to see trains implemented at last, I'm sure this is what we are bieng shown, so great news.

Though I agree with others that the width of the road shouldn't equal the length of the train carriage, it does cross the road at an angel (so isn't as bad as I first thought), and there may be room left at the side of the road for a footpath..still, it does look odd.

Thanks for the update, its great news that the trains are running!!

Trees look fantastic close up!

Indeed, maybe we could talk about the trees for a change...
just look at how dense they are, the diversity of the leaves is also great... and they seem to be fully 3D...
Close up they're also great to look at so I'd love to take a walk across some of those fields if possible any time soon...
Really good job on the trees if I may say so. 5*

Getting better all the time, thank you.

Who is the grammar school boy sitting in the Hurricane? Seriously, does the pilot look too small for the plane?

I see what you mean! Maybe it's one of those perspective tricks, and the pilot isn't in the plane at all, but instead standing on a crate over by the hangar?!

good looking update ! love the damage modeling on the german bomber, great detail there !

i like the look of the short grass on the airfield to (until now we have mainly seen the long grass, and wheat fields etc), also good to see how the train stands out in the scenery (as it should in real life), hopefully other ground objects like cars trucks and tanks will be similarly visible from the correct distances and altitudes now (compared to the 30% distance visibility we have for those in il2 right now)

looks like we are getting close

Great pics!

You can see a train in that first shot, cool! The hangers are lookin really good, you can see the structures and beams on the inside. Very detailed.

I love that picture of the plane on the ground. I am just picturing that grass waving in the wind and hopefully propwash!

Those trees are looking very good too! Again I'm just picturing them in my mind whirling in the wind like that one apc video we saw a while back.

Great update cannot wait to fly this!

Excellent!

The damage on the Heinkel is very impressive. I'd say the slumped-over crew gets the balance between 'realism'/gore and what is likely to be acceptable to the market about right - not that in-game you are going to see much from outside in most circumstances.
