Please don't start Philip. This is a ludicrous question that will waste Oleg's time when he answers and you strike up a conversation. What do you want to know? If the relationship between the gunner arm length and harness release is realistically modelled, and their personality included in an algorithm to work out when they decide to try it so that we have an historically accurate chance of a rear gunner bailing out?

yeah - just model it accurately - turret latch damaged - gunner trapped inside to the end.

they couldn't get out of those turrets in flight with all that gear on while flying sedately in a straight line - how would anyone expect them to get out with the plane in a death spiral?

Let's have none of this colonialist nonsense over spelling conventions! Far too many 'zeds' and far too few 'ewes'!!

As a born Canadian, "Zed" always sounded stupid to me. I avoid it like the plague.

Shouldn't you yanks be busy getting excited about the new royal engagement?

oh I cant tell you all how sweet it is to be back in here reading the Friday Updates.

its absolutely GOLDEN


great update pics Oleg - I like the GUI the way it is...and if the background pic can be personalized that would be cool too - whatever

...could this sim be closer to release than anyone suspects?

+1 for Ilya's humorous postings..keep up the great work people

This friday updates are getting better and better.
Not only for the superb screenshots but we have a lot or fun too in some people demands...
I'm already seeing Oleg and Ilya running wild in the office trying to find a picture of a pilot bailing out in the "right"
style...

With all these comments and suggestions, I will be suprised if SOW is released before 2020.

[heywooood]

not to worry - they instead have learned how to bail out of these threads in the right style

the sim will be on time - or it will be canceled

thanks Ilya
