What the hell is that Tanner? "Don' bother posting anything" Who the hell are you anyway?

In almost all period photos I've seen you don't see pilots with their goggles down. My feeling is that they obstructed vision and were used in the brief periods of combat only.

Maybe goggles were down mainly during combat when usually fewer planes would be taking pictures...

...or they put the goggles up to look better on the photos.

Anyway, since pilot issue has floated ( I hope developers are reading and can answer), rumor has it that pilot animation would reflect the PoV of the players one sees - so someone flying formation could see where the other pilot is looking at - could anyone in the know give us some info on the subject?

thanks

Way to post constructive criticism. It's posts like these that drive the devs away. Is that what you're trying to achieve?

The terrain does look a bit on the bright side, but I won't complain, as I have no clue or idea how to produce a pc game

Anyway, when I look down on the UK, these are the colours I see. (Ignore the subject matter, it's what I get up to at the weekends)

Proves the point that the same area (or at least same "objects") can look vastly differant depending on light.

Indeed, people are getting ridiculously obsessed with lightning as if a country always has a certain amount of sunshine or defined filter to it, which is just bullshit.
Time to grow some knowledge. Oleg can't cater to everyones personal satisfaction.

I come here a few times a week and it never ceases to amaze me that most of you guys just like to nit pick
You have a release date for gods sake, isn't that enough?

grass isn't right color, goggles up???

If i was flying MSFS then ground detail would mean a lot coz thats all you have, this is a combat sim don't think i will last long if i look out and admire the ground.

for me it's all about game play, if it's not immersive i lose interest real quick and no amount of pretty graphics will keep me playing.
