Yes it is

The weathered 109 looks perfect!!
Earlier the planes looked as if they lost their paint, without looking dirty first.
I like dirty planes!

Thanks for the fine update.

Hi Oleg a few weeks back you said you had some video to show us, is that likely to happen?

Very very nice!

I really like the smoke just as it is. Very impressive in the way it meets the hurricane's wing and the smoke trail is nice and long-
The detail of the hurri's underside (rivets etc...) is so nice and clear. The new skins look fantastic...

I can't wait to see this in motion
Really looking like promotional screens that could be on the back of the box

This feature is also available in Lock-on but it only works during the gameplay and it's not recorded in the track files so it is not possible to use this great feature in 'Movie Making'. Will it be the case in BoB ?

Thanks for another great update Oleg.
I really appreciate the time it takes.

On the second part of the update, first picture.. Those 109's could have almost been taken from a still of the Battle of Britain film.. very good stuff chaps!

[Ploughman]

Oleg, will it be possible to disable facial hair on German aircrew?

And more seriously, will you be able to post more shots of various explosions, damage being undertaken by ground objects and ships sort of thing?

Any yellow nosed 109 still looks like its cleaned by Libyan personal.
I think that when I get the game I will find that the 109 textures do not have the atmosphere of the british or even the 110 or bomber textures. I have just not seen any that look as good.(the non yellow ones in this set look better then the yellow ones, but not as good as the other aircraft)
Not a big fan of their interpretation of RLM 04 either, too green for my eye.


Love the contrails above the hurricane.
