So finally you all will get really close to photorealistic picture.

I think that will shut the critics up. Outstanding work.

Its kinda retarded to have one and not the other.

I disagree. We see our own hands, arms and legs when we look down, whereas the same won't be true of reflections, so it's good to have them modelled.

Also, I appreciate you're old school, but 'retarded'? Catch up lad.

LOL, Sutts I got a good laugh off that one.........

The only thing that will shut the critics up around here is duct tape. (and liberally applied)

Those cockpits are nearly photorealistic! Looks like SoW is getting more and more polished all the time...

It's an awesome shot. This was taken on olegs home PC which is comforting.
However, this isn't photo-realistic to me yet. It's getting there, definately though just playing devils advocate here. I'm sure with higher settings we'll be speechless. The forests look awesome. Some 3-D hedge-lines would really set this apart from all competition.

EDIT-what am I saying? It's bloody brilliant for pre-release!!!!!

If your happy looking at your joystick than your monitors reflections should be good enough for you too.

Thank you Oleg for this amazing update. I don´t know where I´m being. Behind my PC or in a Plane

GREAT pics, GREAT work, GREAT game. I don´t want more to wait.....

Thank you, and your team for this great Impressions.


And have a nice weekend

Oleg, I just saw these questions posted by JAMF which I think are really interesting:

- Is surround gaming (3 screens) being taken into account in development? Flexible FoV? Or will there be an option for users wit 3 screens, to render the view through 3 viewports, like it was done in the racing simulation rFactor?

- Will it be possible to use real DeviceLink cockpit dials in MP? As a way to avoid what could be considered cheating by others, the dials which are destroyed in the game, the real cockpit dials get deactivated through DeviceLink (data output = 0).

- Will we see raindrops on the windscreen, like in the original IL2 demo?

- Will we see rivets on the wing and would they be bump- or normal-mapped?

I don't have reflections on my monitor

Will mousing over the maps in the lower right bring up the map display?
