Oleg, I have very low internet connection, only DSL 786 kBit/s.

What is the traffic per client in SoW Multiplayer?

I can't say you exact digits. Generally depending of players amount. As smaller amount of players - more low speed is possible.

But we didn't test yet across the external tool that we implementing.

Oleg, any input as to the colour in the Stuka film? Before you click on the link, it shows a picture, and the colour here looks brighter than the actual film. It looks beautiful; one of the best SoW shots I've ever seen.

Just to note: The high quality download is a little bit lighter than the Youtube version, and a bit clearer.

And don't forget, Phil, that Oleg said that the effects were exaggerated on purpose, this vid is only a lighting demo, and not any indication of colors (as exaggerated lighting will also exaggerate colors)

Hi Oleg,
extraordinary work!!!
Just a word about first video showing lighting&effects testbed...
I hope (I've no doubt it will be done in final release) some effect like reflections will be properly tuned up.
I'd like to remember that german planes in WWII were painted with standardized paints. The colors of this paints were registered as RLM# (Reichs Luftfahrt Ministerium). They had a satin finish, Ju87 recalled in first video had a splinter camouflage for upper surfaces in RLM 70 dunkelgrun and RLM 71 schwartzgrun. These paints quickly degradaded in operational service.
An interesting document, on how these colours appeared and how reflective they were, is the first link I suggest:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtNP8...eature=related

this video represents flight activity in jagdgruppe 77 (bf109) in early days of war, note (mainly at the end) how the paint finish reflective is (clearly satin).

The second link is a video referring to flying activity in eastern front, at 0:35 and 0:43 is showed a special care dedicated to the commander's plane.
It wasn't an ordinary duty to polish every single plane in a unit. Only on demand of a commanding officer and if they had time and manwork to spend.
(I'm referring to sole color video, above sx on page)

Third: a picture from Flying legends 2008 on the maximum amount of reflection shoud have a plane in SOW (IMAH-taste).

I agree with you... as well as I noted in my very first post of this topic that the effects are increased for the good visbility.

Simply some boys and even aged people thinking that how the museum aircraft looks after the war with new paint now and in some games - should be here in BoB. Its like to have Mustang polished up to the mirror level and put such "paintscheme" in a WWII fligth sim..
Very the same sample.

RLM colors: We use them exactly But with the different lighting tints may change. Like in life.

Ok - I am back

You can release the new Storm of War: Cliffs of Dover simulation now.

Thank you Mr Maddox and Mr Schevchenko - your work is like Stradivarius only more so
