A far more important landmark is Selhurst Park, as it was when everything was black and white



Think I may have to model it one day

Go away Jack,

You are probably the only person who can fly in London with full details.... LOL

But I have a nice video for you:
IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover - FPS test in hardware change from GTX275 to GTX580 graphics card

Look the second part (after he installed the GTX580) and the detail while taxiing around the streets...

Which brings me to a problem on the forums, how do I edit my details, signature etc?

That brings me onto another thing I will be posting about shortly, keep your eyes peeled in the vehicles thread for tomorrow!

And thanks for the video!

I was wondering what I missed more from this sim.

1. Fun missions.
2. 64bit exe
3. DX11
4. Stutter-Free gameplay
5. Those day/week long online battles Oleg bragged about.
6. The memory-leak being addressed.
7. More flyable aircraft.
8. Caterbury Cathedral
9. Proper AI/Radio commands

Hmmmmmm. . . . GOT to be #8.

Get grip Jack. There are far more important game aspects to be improved/fixed than worrying about a missing Canterbury Cathedral.

For you maybe...but the immersion given by the feeling you are geographically there is no less important, and has no bearing on the resolution of what you consider glaring issues (and they may be, I have no doubt).
We just need the SDK to begin correcting or completing the map (and I believe a dedicated team with the agreement of MG will need to do it and this will take a lot of time, but the potential for success is important).

Then everyone will understand that the German airfields were verrry different from their representation in the game (like 75% smaller sometimes), and that trees do not grow on docks, but cranes do...among other things!

I do not think the map was really completed the way it was envisioned...it was just begun, and no time was left to finish it, for various reasons (the guy(s) in charge gone, sick, fired, who knows...)...On the French side, I would state the completion status at 10%, no more, without including the mistakes to be corrected .

I anticipate a lot of fun doing this (I hope I could be part of that team...)!

I agree with you there. When the SDK's are released the community will be able to improve & develop the game, leaving the dev's to work on improving the game core & expansions.
