WOW! The 109 pit looks amazingly real! May I ask who is the author of the cockpit texture? Thanks for the extra bonus!

That's just... brilliant.

You can't not give that a 5, that's just above perfection.

Well done, it's always great to see that all the hard work and waiting is paying off. Can't wait to get my hands on this thing

I think my head just exploded over how awesome this simulator is starting to look.

The biggest part of all this amazement is that we finally see some of the pieces coming together. Up till now we had a bunch of high polygon count models in a viewer with a blue background.
Well, it's way different when you get so see actual action shots inside the working game engine. That's why the recent updates look so much better, we are starting to see the entire game world ticking and going live and in this case, the whole of it looks to be more than the sum of its parts.

I can't wait for the first promo video with 2-3 minutes of ingame action. Heck, i just got this update and i can't wait for the next one. Great job by everyone involved

Great!!!!!
...and you know...dentists will rule the world!
I would pay a million for being Oleg dentist:
"...so Oleg you still fell pain? need more anesthetic maybe? Ok, but will be interesting to know a lil bit more about SOW mission building wouldn´t be?"

some guys are really lucky!

[thesean]

This will be a historic simulation for a historic event.

Oleg, I've got a question:

Is there going to be an AI algorythm that doesn't let to shoot to enemy if a friendly plane is in background or covers him?

And for bailing out, last pic, I think that all rudders and controls should be at neutral position, because pilot doesn't control it anymore.

Why would the controls magically return to neutral position? Depending on whether the plane is falling, spinning or continuing to fly straight, the control surfaces would bend with the external forces exerted upon them, taking in to consideration the trim settings of course.
