Someone here said that Buckingham Palace won't have a damage model?

Is that really true? Why is that? That isn't realistic.

If you were a pilot you would know how to navigate without an airspeed indicator. Wonder if you have the same problem if the speedometer brakes in your car, but you probably don't have a drivers license.

Wow, looks great Oleg. Things are really coming along nicely. That 109 cockpit is simply stunning. Ice looks great, fire looks great with the flames licking back, sea is amazing. Also the trees look so much better now.

I have a couple of questions.

Will the Thames be given 3D river banks at some point? I think I remember the team mentioning a mesh system that could support such a feature.

London is a vast city. Today it is covers an area over 600 square miles. Not sure how much it has grown since 1940 but even if it was a quarter of that then it's still a huge area to cover in buildings. How will the areas outside the center be portrayed please? I can fully understand that covering that kind of area in 3D objects will simply not work with today's computing resources.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

A wristwatch might be nice to go with that compass...

True, but you wouldn't get lost without it.

This will put the terrain-features and geography-accuracy and the lighting and shadowing to the test. As well as our flying skills...
