Ok these pics look amazing cant wait for the realese!

Very nice find thanks for posting.

I can't believe we find these pics on other sites and they are not even on the main website. Thats how I would like to see them. Visit IL2game.com and see the pictures there. It gives us reasons to keep going back to the site.:-P

as an aside to the spit/hurricane mk1 argument, i see on the website that they have listed the battle of britain as running through to may '41, which may explain why they chose the mkII variants of those 2 a/c.

i must admit to feeling a little disappointed, especially as the 109 seems to be appearing in at least its e and f variants, but at the end of the day it shouldnt really make too much difference. i see the meat and potatos of this game being more centered around the later stages of the european air war, and in mp you simply wont survive in a mk1 hurricane anyway!

Screenshots of Halo 3 are taken in Theatre mode, which adds ridiculous amounts of anti aliasing, bumps the resolution up hugely, and just generally makes it look way, way better than the actual game does.

Halo 3 itself has 0 anti aliasing at all. One of the reasons why the game looks so sub-par.

Didn't Anton say in another thread that the 360 version has at least 2x (think it was 4x) and that the PS3 version has Quincunx type anti aliasing?

Tons of 360 and PS3 games have anti aliasing. Halo 3 is one of the few popular games to not have it.

Ah, excellent! Judging from the screenies this game will be one of the best looking games ever! can't belive how nice that mustang is looking...

I think this Il2 is gonna be a step forward in console simulation no matter how many planes they deliver in the final version.
I saw the aviator joystick for xbox 360 and ps3 at some shopping centers shelves, I think that is a good sign.
