What the hell is that Tanner? "Don' bother posting anything" Who the hell are you anyway?

In almost all period photos I've seen you don't see pilots with their goggles down. My feeling is that they obstructed vision and were used in the brief periods of combat only.

Maybe goggles were down mainly during combat when usually fewer planes would be taking pictures...

...or they put the goggles up to look better on the photos.

Anyway, since pilot issue has floated ( I hope developers are reading and can answer), rumor has it that pilot animation would reflect the PoV of the players one sees - so someone flying formation could see where the other pilot is looking at - could anyone in the know give us some info on the subject?

thanks

Way to post constructive criticism. It's posts like these that drive the devs away. Is that what you're trying to achieve?

The terrain does look a bit on the bright side, but I won't complain, as I have no clue or idea how to produce a pc game

Anyway, when I look down on the UK, these are the colours I see. (Ignore the subject matter, it's what I get up to at the weekends)

Proves the point that the same area (or at least same "objects") can look vastly differant depending on light.

Indeed, people are getting ridiculously obsessed with lightning as if a country always has a certain amount of sunshine or defined filter to it, which is just bullshit.
Time to grow some knowledge. Oleg can't cater to everyones personal satisfaction.

I would like to say, that known date of release doesn't means that we has been stopped the work that to silver the product.

And when the gold version has been sent to print I assume you will continue working on the zero day 1.01 patch that will be available the day the game is released? That's a nice policy that many developers try to achieve these days of tough deadlines

I'm curious about the tracer: the 3D nature of it is awesome, but am I the only one who thinks that it looks a bit like a string of cotton balls? Obviously it's all still WIP, but just thought I'd post this in case no one else had.



This picture may not be the best source to compare to (obviously because the camera won't pick up a real picture) but a difference can be noted


Awesome update; your dedication to this sim is commendable.

They seem are a little thick through my eyes, I don't know at what altitude that pic was taken but this would actually seem very real at higher altitutes, cold air hot bullets A little bit more stretched and a little thinner for lower altitudes would be just perfect! A perfectionist speaking of course

Many thanks
