I'm wondering about weathering effects.
If I understood it correctly you are implementing some sort of dynamic weathering?
Q:
1. Is this weathering going to be applied while the mission is playing or it will be applied between the missions?
2. Will it be possible to apply weathering effects independently on different parts of the aircraft? For example firing guns would affect guns area, but not other surfaces.

P.S. If you didn't think about this feature yet, how about implementing it?

I Know it's early days yet , but in close up's I hope for a bit more interaction between the floats and the water.

Othere than that the detail of the planes is fantastic!

All screenshots are from development tools. We're not going to do in-engine shots until Oleg is back.

Note: some features in the tools are approximations. There are no waves, wakes, simplified terrain, etc. This update is just to showcase our beautiful aircraft.

Is it really so hard to read the original post?

the G50 looks like " 3D view "

I suppose this technology will be supported in Bob

when I see the G50 on the grass , I have the dream that we will have the alteration of the tyres when you cruise on the runway and the plane which rebound on his tyres

also I think that the screen of the plane on the sea could be better with multi light reflections , ( plane on the sea and sea on the plane But it's also depend of the weather) , perhaps in final release ?
on the next update the boats was reflected on the sea

If you got the extra CD with your 1946 game, break it out and you'll see a stop time vid of the dynamic weathering process, including chipping of the prop and wingtips, "crew wear" and exhaust staining. If not, you'll have to take my word for it, but it is nice!

The detail makes me wonder if the engine parts will be moving...

Well done planes. I sure hope that the damage model is improved that much as well.
