as you maybe remember I told you on your photo forum that I work in the movie industry. My identity is not important for the public on the forum, and really doesn't make any difference here. Anyway, I had several times the occasion to read internet critics about WIP stuff or finished stuff I worked on, and several times I was astonished of the "interpretations" of "facts" some people seem to have with 100% conviction -- just that they were plain wrong -- because I actually knew the real facts. On some occasions it can hurt, and sometimes I posted back. The "public" is a strange animal - to be handled with extreme caution. Love and hate are close together. Some people just think you "owe" them something personally. Not unlikely a guy who thinks he already paid you for a job and you better get it done, or...! Of course they live in a fantasy world with an idea of a personal relationship that only exists in their head. Read it, take a walk, come back, laugh about it, and continue to do exactly what you want. Best strategy.

The update you posted is really nice. I am extremely impressed by the physics that affect even vehicles that way. I can only imagine what this means for the rest of the game world in SOW -- and that is for me, the real good news.

Keep it coming!

You are right. Anyway most people here understand that we are doing _something_ again. And it is really hard work to get the world class sim again, speaking about small niche of customers were we are...

PS. On my site I posted review of recommended camera for you. It is really good camera in its class. I would say that it is best currently in its class and cost.
PS2 And I would enjoy of you pictures, if you will send them me sometime The pictures, that you posted there unfinished is really cool. My wife like it very much as well.

Interesting phisics behaviour showed on the video, like the inertia of the antennas and the rotating wheels.

Now, imgining a bomb exploding near the vehicle, will we see partial and diferent damages made to the vehicle? Like a wheel being detached from the vehicle and throw away, or the turres, or some of the doors that are moving missing. Or we will get a destroyed vehicle object like in IL-2?

Seeing some phisics damages and difenrent levels of destruction on tanks and vehicles based on the damage receiveded certainly would be a nice new feature.

I'm impressed about the Panchard's lighting and it's specular reflection. Is this what I can expect ingame? The painted surface of the vehicle is looking very realistic imho.

Oleg please check private email.

It is in tools/viewer for the tunings. Real picture in final will be even better.

I've been waiting since 2000 for Oleg Maddox sims. The waiting is one of the best parts.

You never know what new features will be created, how the game engine will behave or what will or will not be completed on time - it is exciting. Then there are Oleg's comments on what is going on. We hear so much of our own opinions (as end users), it is really quite nice to hear the developer's opinion every once in a while.

That wee car would certainly cut time off my commute...
Very shoddy maintenance on the Heinkel...
You'd better put a lighthouse in to warn ships about the lighthouse.
As far as a release date goes, I absolutely refuse to wait any longer, and am henceforth withholding stool.
