Great shots, it's really coming together now. Shot number 4 (either post) is quite impressive with the longs shadows and the fog, lighting is top notch. Can't wait to see it all in motion.

Thx Foobar, didn't realize that.

Still the ice looks a bit too less sharp imho.


Concerning those awesome looking waves i am wondering if we will be getting real shaped cricle waves around the object that crashed in water?

Would be really cool if the "failing" pilot would be screaming visually (+acoustic).

This ice is quite a good representation...it is even too clearly defined, in RL ice cristals are in fact smaller and block very effectively vision (you would probably not see our wing so clearly, it would be more like a shadow). On the other hand it will take time to cover entirely the cockpit interior, and the first ice growth will be little patch by little patch randomly arranged in the coldest areas which will be slowly joining together and then getting some additional thickness if the situation is allowed to continue.
De-icing is usually done only by mean of an electric de-icer or a powerful and sooo cold air flow when non de-icer equipped...and it takes time!
Having cockpit ice in enemy territory is akin to a death sentence!

In fact, I don't think people who fall - scream at all.
I know I wouldn't, I would just think "oh ****!" and take my last breath.

I think you'd scream without thinking the minute your chute didn't open or you realised you were going to die. but let's not get morbid here


Oleg, will the chute snag in trees? So can a pilot get himself stuck in a tree? It'd be great to land in a tree, and have a clip of the chap getting bustled by the home-guard....
"good afternoon..."

(how many times can I say tree in one sentence?! Eries'll get a hard-on)

Just found on YT:

They don't scream.

Ya dont know what your talking about, its a fact that some do and some dont, and if they do they can be heard from miles away by people on the ground....FACT.

OUUTTCHH. I actually didn't mean that serious i just didn't like so much that the face of the pilot was still the same.

I was once in a pretty bad car accident and I didn't scream...I saw a car loose control on the ice and drift in my lane (head on), and in those 5 to 7 seconds, I only thought to myself, "this is going to hurt". First, let me say that at the time I knew it was going to be a pretty bad collision....and in fact I spent a couple months learning to walk again. So I dont think that screaming is an automatic reaction that everyone has...

come on, lets not debate about my joking post pls.

But let me ask the question:

Will the figures have some motion in their face or is he always looking static?
