These hangars look like they are facing each other. Would that have been the case?
It looks wrong to me (I'm no expert).
It has been like this in several WiP screenshots too.

When I look at the bottom wall of the two right hangars I see that they are made up of pannels each about a fifth of the width. I took them to be sliding doors for the hanger. The left most hangar I cant see the edge of the pannels. But I can see what you mean.

I mean that the door supports are the parts that are sticking out at the sides,
so the door are all facing each other
- aircraft exiting from the hanger face the doors of another:

As we've had a bit of sound in this vid I've been thinking about external sounds and how they will be handled when in the cockpit? I've always been bothered by the 'sonar' (as some people call it) effect.

As most of you are aware it's not that realistic to hear a plane sneaking up on your six.

I remember a long time ago that one update disabled it and I saw some big name online aces become easy meat as they relied on 'sonar' heavily. A subsequent update reinstated it and AFAIK it's stayed that way.

So I hope if we do have 'sonar' again that it's a difficulty option that can be turned off.

Mr Maddox, could I ask a question about the 6DoF view in SoW?

Can all of the 7 axes (all the 6DOF axes and the FOV axis) be controlled via the joystick's analog axes (such as the the pitch and roll axes)? Of course, not necessarily controlled simultaneously.

Hope my question is clear.

Its a copy of one real airfield in UK.
When I saw it first time I also tol guys that they put by the wrong way hangars. But then they open the book and show me the real thing. The position of hagars of this airfield is exactly like it was in reality in 1939-40

OK. Thanks!

The start of the Stuka video shows an image different to the video (in terms of colour) Any input? It looks beautiful, but I'm confused as to whether it's due to saturation or time of day.

Hope my question is not too much off topic.

We have already seen that water and ships are of very hogh quality and I was wondering if U boots were present in BoB. If yes, will they be able to go under immersion ?

Redwan, a few of the videos from the show in Russia showed planes that, upon crashing into the sea, went under-water; so this must be possible
It was, for me, one of the stand-out features, and something that I've never seen before in a flight-sim.
