I Love how it looks... Even the little bit of land you can see through the cockpit,
looks so detailed, it wont be a problem finding targets on the ground, they will pop out.. I was a problem in il2 but it looks brilliant now.

I just hope that the British weapon damage will be effective... I am so worried that
the .303 rifle shot wont compare to the German cannons. If anyone knows more about that I'd love to know.

thanks Olegs, great update.

+1 I can't imagine the damage is operate with this beautiful realistic cockpit,
I'm afraid that technically it's either one or the other

Have you noticed ?
 

First update with no mention of being WIP....;)

Very good job...Imagine when all this will be in motion...:grin:

Dear Oleg : would you say, at this stage , that you have reached you own expectations from your original goal regarding the developpement of SOW ?... Did you even surpassed them ? :rolleyes:

Beautiful job !

SAlute !

Oleg,

Beautiful is the only word that comes to mind. Now that I can really get a sense of where your efforts are going...I say take as long as you need.

My personal vote would be to see the pilots wearing masks all the time. I believe that's the way the pilots were most of the time unless they were posing for pics.

Thanks for the update!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome :)

I don't want to be forced to use the mouse to operate the cockpit controls for everything though, I use a dual control set up and would rather map keys. I am sure this is configurable regardless.

I love that final shot, something to really fatally ram into one of Tree's orifices.

It's a given - Oleg and his team are going to be working right up to "X-day" like they did with the original IL-2.

However, if I'm not mistaken, he's compiling a version to demonstrate at a tech show. They could sell the game now - but they are still tuning and de-bugging.

Thanks for the update Oleg - the terrain shot is especially impressive.

I'm rendered utterly speechless, except for these heretical words:

Will you still be able to "disable the cockpit"?

Sorry I couldn't resist...(did someone beat me to the punch line?)
:):):)

I get you Romanator...:) But it looks ( IMHO) that they are at a final stage of fixing possible 'mistakes' or " innacurate" details rather than finishing an incomplete design,(textures, layers, etc) at least regarding those cockpits... Oleg always reminds us of the WIP stage of all the updates he showed us...But not this time !And to me, it is good news ;)

Salute !

No. In the pics of SOW, all cockpit is in RLM-66, a different color of RLM-02. As you can see, the first is 66 and the second is 02 (just samples, not the 100% accurate color)
Perhaps Oleg could explain this point because the rest of the 109 is amazing
