I agree that needle shadows are not going to be noticeable in real life. The instruments are not flat though, check out this video of the Su-26 where the panel is rotated. You can see reflection in the glass, and the depth of the gauges.

Someone asked about refraction in the water already. I wonder, will it be possible at some time in the game engine to have refraction of the gun-sight and armored glass?

The water and the boat's look GREAT!...I'm a commercial fisherman, so for a minute I felt like I was back at work.

The barge could be a little sharper, but not bad.

Very beautiful. It's amazing what one can do. Ok I think I exagerated, with "one" I mean a whole team.

This might allready have been asked bevor, I'm wondering if the fog is implemented in the game. Since in England there is a lot of fog. But then again why, one doesen't want to fly in the fog. But still....

Yes. Fog will be. It is really in Il-2, but in Sow will be better visuals at all

More polys. Generally speaking ... I am very pleased with planes and cockpits. IF possible (due to time) would like to see more polys in objects ..... but these can be inserted later under modded content.

Please make sure pilot head is moveable as in example.. Lock On.

Thanks for the video, Romanator, it answered a couple of questions for me. As for the shadow an instrument needle throws, it is noticeable. The cockpit shot of that Spit is a perfect example of the lighting necessary. Much more important is Oleg's reply- objects with as little as 3mm of separation will throw shadows! That is amazing resolution!

BigC208, who you flying the Caravan for?
