Im really bumped about the troubles with releasing the templates for the skins.

Would it be possible to make some sort of "skin viewer" (a simple 3d viewer aplication where we can see the texture on the 3d model)?
It may be too time consuming tho. It has to come with the 3d models of the planes and possibly lighting engine.

Anyway you guys know better what you can do and what you can't.

Have we forgotten last week's update? I thought the flames looked pretty darn good there. I assumed what was shown in this week's update was either from an earlier build or taken on a lower graphical setting.

I am not new to the IL-2 series and I am not new to these forums but (as you can see from my total posts) I am new to voicing my opinions; I am now beginning to wish that I had never started reading these responses to the weekly updates.

The gfx of BoB:SoW will not please everyone 100%. The gameplay of BoB:SoW will not please everyone 100%. BoB:SoW as a 'game' will not please everyone 100%. We must all learn to accept comprimise and the final word rests with Oleg.

On the subject of the gfx effects; do we want them to look realistic, or should they look spectacular ('Hollywood', if you will)? The flight model, true to life, or playable?

I know many of you want a 'simulator' with life-like effects and FM but others want a playable 'game', that's fun and yet looks good. Can we not all agree that these are mutually exclusive and compomises must be made?

Imagine a realistic Formula 1 racing sim, the most true to life available. This would be neither fun nor playable, for all but maybe a small percentage of gamers that actually race Carts or Formula 3.

C'mon guys, let's not argue amongst ourselves but keep it to constructive criticism and enjoy the updates. Can we call a truce and just enjoy the forthcoming sequel to a game that we currently all enjoy, be it modded or otherwise.
