Some questions here:

Will be possible to de-rate engines (as a future example, i was thinking about limit Me109G to 1.3ata until oct 43) as advanced option/server admin command?

Can you explain something about CEM?

About skins, will be available a metal finish (reflection maps?)?

Tell us about online modes, some type of Aces High like arena would be cool.

S!

AFAIK planes will have both bump (normal) maps and specular maps as well. Somewhere I've read about it.

Oleg, could you please tell me if the Sunderland is a flyable aircraft or AI. Many thanks for the update!

AI, But we are making as well these AI model the same quality as flyable. And we will offer tools for advanced third party developer that to make any plane flyable without us...

So I expect that there will be many flyables later after the intial release... and BoB will be growing even more than Il-2 series

Well the fact that the propellers are 3D shows that the level of detail that will be included into AI planes is above the normal things developers do and that flyable aircraft from these models should be quite quick.

Also will these be free addons or are small payments expected to be involved?

Oleg,

You are speaking about a "new engine".
What do you mean with this?
Starting all over again with all objects?


"the final release…. Which isn’t soon really…. "

So we have to wait for September 2009 ???

This is a question for some interview..... I will keep this info the the magazines

I only can say you right now... that yes we will have sometime free add-ons with new features, like it was with Il-2.
But other info - till the right time. Everything will be fine

Awesome news and the detail of the pictures is just stunning.

The soft shadowing looks stunning real and I'm amazed how much work you and your team put into the models. Looking at that, I don't dare to think about the level of detail you will put into the rest of the game, to meet the photorealistic standard you put up with that.

Just wow.
