Well done Foo'bar!!!! Nice trains

Conkers!
This looks like it might be a conker tree (correct name - horse chestnut)...they look like conkers, even if the leaves don't look exactly right.

S-T-O-P I-T!

You don't know what is WIP and what not. Oleg has the right sense for polishing the details, he just proved that with todays screenshots.
However, it is possible, and in your case very likely, that you'll not be satisfied in whatever form this game hits the shelves.
But don't despair, there's help:
First: You don't have to buy it
and 2nd; a piece of Yoda's advise:
"shut the f*** up - you must, young padawan."

Cheers.

These parties always get rough near the end. Actually that might not be a runway Hecke. It could be a pathway to the beer locker. The pathway coming out is not so straight.

Is that the way runways looked like?

For me the runway looks blurred and like a texture of an old game. Actually it looks the exact same like in IL-2.

Notice the tire track/rut in the surface of the runway? While I have not taken the time to examine grass runways in IL-2, I don't recall seeing ruts. Maybe they are there, maybe they are not. Maybe in SoW tires leave tracks in grass, maybe not.

I just did a little research on how grass runways were maintained with very little luck. It appears that the grass was mowed somehow and kept shorter than the rest of the airfield. I would also suspect that the grass/dirt was "tamped" with some sort of roller to compact the soil (just a guess). It also appears that some chemicals were used to retard but not eliminate grass growth.

So how exactly would the short grass be portrayed in a computer program? If it was somehow mechanically "laid over" (like with a roller), how should that be portrayed? What about all the ruts from landing on wet ground?

And is it really that important?

(BTW, the grass runway maintenance thing is bothering me now....I must know how those runways were built and maintained lol.)
