Oh, Oleg, when I saw barrage balloons, the cure for fire awaken inside of me :twisted:
Could we please see explosion of it? Pic'd be enough 8)

Beautiful, In 2 weeks time there is going to be a lot of fully grown men thrown back to childhood, I can hear the wife yelling at me to "get off that bloody computer and come get your dinner" already! (mental note to self, buy better headphones this week)
Will have to hide myself away so that my 14yo son doesnt have to explain to his friends why his dad is dressed like a ww2 pilot and screaming abuse at the RAF in a fake german accent whilst frantically yanking a joystick and stomping on rudder pedals.

WOW !!!!!!!

I can't wait for my Collectors Edition to arrive so I can try all that for myself.:grin:

Now that it seems to have gone gold, is there any confirmation of what the flyables and AI list is yet ?

Thanks Oleg (and your team) for creating what I've dreamed about since "flying" my first simulator on an old ZX Spectrum.

Great to see new child in action!
Repetition of wather surface is only minus, will be nice to make some kaos in code to avoid it...it destroy feelling of reallity. (I understand, it will be done whan our pc will become stronger...)

It could be because of graphics settings but i saw a lot of repetition in the sea surface (texture tiling). Maybe also because of the settings there was this tail that came off from the plane, without some kind of heavy explosion would this realy happen? I haven't seen any real footage of this (yet) :) Lastly, bullet impact on the planes looks so real, but with small debry coming off it would be perfect, not just the big parts. Some kind of FX system could add a lot here.

typhoon tails came off without being hit, but this is probably to do with realistic gunnery being off, at a guess. also would you really be able to see small fragments of metal, or would it not be more deformed skin (rather than losing small fragments) if hit by non-explosive rounds?

So much so, that it seems a little pointless flying any other sim until this comes out.

The vids also show that most of the updates to date have been teasers, showing shots of more 'older work in progress' than 'current work in progress' in my humble opinion.

Not that I mind in the slightest. Absolutely wonderful update.

Not long until 'chocks away'!;)

Good grief!

Very nice videos..

BIG thankyou to Oleg, ilya and all

Good things I noticed-

  • RAF pilot heads now tilted forward, much better.
  • Damage to the Do17 with crew k.i.a very good
  • Silly little things like the fantastic detail on tail wheel struts and tyres.
  • The internal detail through the windows of the Sunderland at the very start.
  • Love the tracers, fire and smoke.

Not so good -
  • Colour of squadron codes on Beaufighter and Gladiator too bright ?
  • Looks like flying over London not good for FPS!
  • Italian pilot helmets?
  • No video of tank Vs tank battle yet, or any land combat.


and....Still waiting for release date info and STEAM pre-order...

It was good to see, still would like to see some actual gameplay footage (as in unedited, ingame sound / combat), only other thing is the yellow colored windows made me lol - could do with some lighting changes because a yellow texture on a window doesnt count as (house with lights on inside) anymore. So hope this scales up, or they work out a way to have some more broad based lighting and change the window properties.

There won't be any land battles in the Battle of Britain but that won't stop us from making missions with land battles, because the tools are there. I doubt very much that the developer would have time to make these battles, even though some of their modellers had the time to build the necessary vehicles for later addons.
