What was the weather like at this point in the BoB?
Even if they were rain clouds, they just wouldn't look like that. My point is, they don't look like any clouds I have ever seen in Britain. You can argue all you want, but they just aren't 2010 standard (as far as the screenshots tell). Of course, as Oleg said, these could be old shots etc
But look at the work of REX or even the new DCS game and the clouds there look better IMHO.
This is just constructive criticism; I'm not whining about it as I said that these features can be changed later. It won't put me off buying the game, but it'd be nice for photo-relastic clouds and terrain. I'm sure it could be achieved in the game.

You said they were too grey. Not unrealistic. And yes we don't know what time of year/day, weather conditions etc are set (more reason for you not to comment) I never said you were whining, just opining on something when you don't have all the relevant info.
Oleg's been in this industry for 20 plus years, what makes you think he doesn't know what he's doing?

I think he knows what he's doing, but mistakes were made in Il-2 and the clouds here don't look realistic. The greyness of this justn't isn't representative of clouds. If clouds carry rain, they will not necessarily have the same colour all over. The clouds here look like that to me.
Is just my observation mate


@Romanator; my posted was directed at those whining for videos. Since when did I do that mate? And you're wrong. These textures are not high-res. The buildings and objects are, but not the actual field textures. So you are wrong. I never said the terrain looked like watercolour....

Thanks for the up-dates Oleg....

The sim is just looking better and better...I'm glad you took the time to post the screen shots.

And thanks for the video...I really enjoyed the peek into the crew animations.

Wohoooo! They have changed the default colouring for the British markings! Thanks Oleg!

Thankyou Oleg!

Please ignore the people with their ears closed. They do not matter.

Mr. Oleg,

The good news: You and your team have an incredible following.

The bad news: You and your team have an incredible following.

We are all obsessed with SOW and are having a hard time being patient. I paid $2,300 for a new computer in anticipation of running this game. OK, I needed a new computer anyway. Take all these semi-insane posts as a compliment and thanks for the video. My doctor called and he said I'm going to live. Bless you.

Some nice shots of terrain as well.

One of the first thing you learn when taking up photography: Your mind plays tricks on you.
So what you "see" is quite often not what you get.

Now combine all screenshots and update's from say the last year ......
extrapolate abit ......
