Hi Luthier,

Thx for the screenies! One question: will you solve the issue of the engine noise, which in Il2 is very audible from another plane, making impossible a sneaky 6 o'clock attack ?

Thank you,
Insuber

Quoted for emphasis! I'm not sure how close you'd have to be to hear another plane's engine above your own, but it sure as **** has got to be closer than 100m from 6 o'clock!

luthier & oleg,

thx for the new screenshots !

aircraft quality looks amazing in closeup shots, and nice to see the scenery building with vegetation, houses, roads, dock equipment etc..

looks like it is all coming together nicely

Thanks for the update, it's all coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing some of these amazing effects in video.

Fan-freaking-tastic! The fire inside the Wellington is indeed frightening, not a place I'd want to be.

I have an odd question; the crane on the right appears to be slightly more weathered than the other. If this is not my eyes playing tricks on me, are they wearing different skins or is there some kind of weathering scheme for ground objects as well as planes?

BTW, I love the way you tease us Luthier, have you studied marketing you sly dog?

Man, these seagulls will lead to a lot of overclaiming! "Got two pretty small enemy airplanes of unknown type."

Nice screenshots, and I hope that things look even better when moving! Thanks!

The trees look darker and nicer than before.

This is great! I remember the good old days when we were getting teasers about IL-2 and then the Forgotten Battles addon... The excitement of waiting for something as cool is not all bad, I kinda like it sometimes.

I too reacted to the scary look of the flames inside the bomber. It's really an inferno in there.

This is just getting better and better. Also, I think it's great that we get to see other things than the usual BoB planes I.E. Blenheims, Wellingtons and so on.

Big thanks for the update!
