*shrug* Looks like the IL-2 engine with grass, some self-shading and bit more bump-mapping, to be honest. Doesn't look like there's anything different about the particle system, for example. It'll be more interesting when we get some more information about the inner workings of the sim, certainly.

The aircraft, though! Beeaauuuuuuuutifully detailed Spitfire and 110!

Bravo! Thanks for the update; it's so refreshing to see what's going on! Any chances that we'll be able to see some movies from this work in progress?

Those black bars that appear to be shadows on the wing of a Spitfire are puzzling.

Perhaps the machines used for the screenshots weren't powerful enough to render the scenery at max and also do the aircraft?

Those are not shadows, the two bars were actually added to the wing surface in real life.

All very nice indeed...Standing by here, waiting for that beta tester draft notice

I don't have any questions, or sadly anything constructive to say. I am impressed I guess but not blown away. I hope I get blown away about SOW one day but so far I am not. I guess maybe I am expecting too much. (Hopefully this is not old man syndrome.)

Thank you Oleg for the uppdate!

I have no complains as I know that all is from WIP and it will look better in the end.

Happy to hear that you intend to restart the regular friday uppdates.
You will recive a lot of whining, complaints,demands, suggestions etc but please keep in mind that its beacuse we all love and care for Il-2 and the new baby SOW.

Regards

Viking

Thanks for the update Oleg. The Spit cockpit surpassed any idea I had of what we would be getting. Incredible detail.

I'll be looking forward to the weekly update. It'll be fun to see how the game changes over the next year as you build to the release.

The cockpit, planes, ground vehicles and clouds look great. Water/beach doesn't look as good as in that early video and the ground detail/lighting isn't on par with Birds of Prey yet but this is still WIP so I know that'll change. My only concern is if the other maps have flat terrain like this one, but I guess they don't...

Big thanks for the update, keep up the good work!

Aircraft look fantastic absolutely the best in the business.

But for the colours used for ground and ground objects I have my doubts.
And I wonder how London will look like in the game.

In comparison with other games:

IL-2 Birds of prey, the ground of this game is really good:
