I appreciate what your trying to do...but your presentation might be more effective if the angle of the aeroplane (from the viewers perspective) was the same in both pictures.

I'm the 'author' of that animated pic. Sorry if it's causing epileptic seizures

I had to make do with what I could find online. Most pictures are shot by people standing level with the plane. The SOW shot is from higher up. The photo I used had to be flipped over and I adjusted the scale to match it to the SOW one based on the size of the tires.

I realise there's a lot of variables b/w the two (angle, model, helmet etc.) but despite these differences, the pilot in the SOW screenshot appears tiny to me. It could be an optical illusion or a number of things others have written about but the bottom line is that the SOW screenshot looks odd to me.

I any case, it's just something to talk about until the next update and this will be the last thing I'll be worrying about when the game's finally in my hands. Hopefully soon now.

cheers!

as far as i understood, it is about a month or so left before the game will see the world?
