So, still lot of work to do to look right !


P.S: it's a Spit Mk.21, so the pic is probably around 1945-46.

One of the differences between this shot and the screen shots is that the screen shot is taken is perfectly clear atmosphere, the photo has quite a lot of haze. Also the depth of field in the photograph, tend s to blur distant objects, theat isn't shown in the screenshot!

Cheers!

AFAIK - didn't pilots drop their seats when in combat? I think I remember a reference to this in First Light by Geoff Wellum....this could account for the low appearance of the Hurricane pilot. Still, matters not the shots get me wet with anticipation anyway!

Except that the haze doesn't change the way the fields are drawn or the trees are placed. Frankly

oh but of course. after 7-8 years of reading il2 forums i would expect no less. our trolls>>>>>> any other internet trolls.

armchair game developers must be worse than armchair generals.

the patience of oleg, luthier and co is saintly. lesser men would've stopped interacting with the community long ago.

Yep; I have read this mentioned in near on every account on the BoB or any part of the air-war in WW2 for that matter
