very niiice!
it seems to me that the pilots look really small compared to the aircrafts, especially in the 109!

looks pretty real to me....did you use real film footage to see what the exhaust does in real flight..?? I like the smoke effect in the last 2 pics...this is truely going to be a 1st rate flight simulation.......XR-A

Thanks for the pics, the update is excellent! I've noticed that the propellor blades are not visible in the first set of pictures with the Hurricane (aside from pic #2). In the second set, the propellors look more like those of IL-2. Is this a selectable effect? If so, it could be very handy for old-photo-style screenshots (it would also answer my question from last week's thread).

Cheers and thanks,

The first picture in Oleg's second post shows throttle, prop, and comp (compression I assume?).

If I am right:
I am guessing that the readouts shown are selectable to some extent. IE. you can pick what you want the read out to be.

I wonder if the number of readouts will be limited to three at a time.

If "comp" is manifold pressure, this points once again to truly complex engine management!

Since there is no value for "comp" in the picture, I am wondering what units will be used (or will it be some sort of percentage based on throttle and mix?).

OR....maybe I am wrong about what "comp" in the picture actually stands for.

Exhaust Flames: I think every other person on this board cares more about it than I do lol. They look good and I sort of look forward to trying to use the colors to figure out just how my engine is running.

Your spelling is wrong, osprey, right is: they look better when they fire!
Sorry for OT.

Dear Oleg,

The pictures look gorgeous. We miss anyway a word from you on the status of the development, something like "bugs are almost eliminated", or " we see a very close release", or "the publisher will be announced before Christmas" etc. etc.

Tell us something, please.

Cheers,
Insuber
