Yes, maybe he was out, inspecting a Spitfire factory or something.

Having said that, did they fly the Royal Standard during the war?
It might have been a bit of a give away as to where the King was and a threat to his safety.
It's amazing what this forum makes you think about.

As has been posted, the pilots in the 109s seem bigger then last weeks hurricane pilot, but still way to small.

Just to add, the windmill blades do rotate.

Nice update.

However, i think the wheels of the 109's are too big. They look like the bigger wheels of G-3 variant, not like the ones of the early 109's.

The last screen shot here - its by the case... He was too late to bail out....

Nice pics!!

Can we get some of these types of pictures from inside the cockpit looking out. I dont plan on playing this in third person view.

Thanks for the latest update. These pics are by far the most immersive yet. If this is but a small percent of what we can expect from SoW:BoB, I'm buying it instantly even if it comes with only two flyables. I can't wait to see screen shots like these blasted clean with decent doses of AA and AF. S!

Awesome screenshots, in every respect all are wonderful and show some excellent features!

However, the reticle on the 109 gunsight is wrong. This should be changed for release. I am sure many who know a lot about the Luftwaffe could show you what it should look like but here is a good example (I don't have access to any official documents, but this is correct)



Those cities look fantastic. I will say though that the trees and hedges don't look as realistic as the rest of the scenary. I say this in the sense that their placing seems a bit ordered; a tree here, space, tree here, space etc A more random arrangement with dense-groups of trees and lots of thick hedges would look much more realistic I must say that the textures for the trees are looking really good. Great work! Also, when the 3D grass fades to a 2D texture, perhaps the transition could be smoother? I understand this is very much WIP but I am just clarifying

I hope you're better, Oleg.

The density and arrangement of buildings in London look fantastic. Some low level flying at street level beckons me thinks.

I know it's WIP, but just to clarify, the colours of the buildings may be a little off. Buckingham Palace looks too 'blue' IMHO and should be paler/yellower. Also, I understand that London buildings (possibly including Buckingham Palace?) were much dirtier in 1940, from all the coal smoke and soot that was cleared up in later years by the Clean Air Act.

First part of update, frame 2 we see the trees have evacuated St James's Park. In frame 4 we find them marching towards the coast, across fields and by the sides of roads. In part two frame 4 we see that they have reached the coast and are desperately awaiting rescue by small ships!
Oleg why are the trees running away?

I don't know from where you get your information, this shows the Abkommen from orginal Document:
