I love the densely populated towns you've shown us but I can't understand how it is possible with today's technology to model London in such a way. There are literally hundreds of thousands of homes spread over a huge area....
"Greater London stretched for a twenty-mile radius from Charing Cross".

Will you be making London smaller or less populated as you move away from the centre? Perhaps the suburbs will be a texture only??? Would be nice to know what we can expect.

Thanks

No textures only.
The size of London is the same as it was in 1940

Thanks for the quick reply Oleg! Sorry but just to be sure.....

Do you mean there will be no "texture only" areas?
If so then that would be quite an achievment.

Thanks

Yes I mean exatly what you like to know - no simple textures shown the city. No drawn cars by camera from above on the roads, no 2000 year sattelite maps with all its infrastructure drawn like it wasn't in 1940.....

Maybbe we will miss some historical objects, but I think creative users will make it exactly like it was in real life... read my posts above

Hi Oleg, thanks for the great update.

Not sure if this has been asked, but please can we have the option to display units in feet or metres? This would be in the speedbar, AI speech, gun convergence etc. In IL2, we are fixed with metres only?

Also, with the speech, it would be great if the term 'angels' was used, as it was in 1940 e.g. "climb to angels 10" = "climb to 10,000 feet"

Cheers

I see a problem if everyone can set the colour to how they want it...we might get some very strange looking user-made skins and objects that won't blend well with the rest of the game. Maybe it is a feature that can wait.

Oleg - I hope your son gets well soon.
