Thanks so much for this update. Without doubt, the best set of screens ever - and I said that last week! Everything is looking stunning. Can't wait.

The pilot in the Spit (first set of images, 2nd thumbnail) looks like he's pinned into his seat by G forces - awesome.

All I can say s that I've got screen shot 2 as my desktop picture.

Thanks for the update.

Great Spitfire picture and update overall.

Thanks!

I wonder why nobody notes the 3 different smokes/leaks in the background of the Spitfire-Shot. Considering how many times this has been asked before...


Any hint about the pilot-figures in the QMB?

1. there were several posts acknowledging that
2. Flyable and NonFlyable, perhaps?

1. Well the complains are always louder than the praises.
2. That was my idea as well. AI vs Playable. That would also explain the uniform as a sign for the side the aircraft is normally playable with. Well, that's my interpretation

That Spit pilot is either pulling some serious Gs or he's been badly wounded. Am I the only one seeing a couple of hits on canopy side?

Wonderful update

Please , are there implemented again some of the aircraft damage smokes
in 2D instead of 3D which was also used in IL-2 ?
In that screenshot behind the Spit it looks like 3D smoke is blending in to
much longer 2D smoke .
Fuel white leak noodle stream looks definitely like 2D , I hope I am wrong .

Thank you so much for new update

I did notice it; hence me saying that the smoke looked awesome. But I didn't go into so much detail so I can see why you posted this
The smoke really is looking a lot better. Does anyone have any pictures of fuel leaks? it's clear to see in the shot Oleg posted, but I wasn't aware the leaks had such a fine trail.

Regarding pilots, it must be a complicated process. The pilot models are quite complex, and to give a good representation a lot of kit would need to be modelled for both sides. Having said that, it would be extremely cool to be able to choose different outfits for the pilot. Oleg has a wealth of knowledge on the RAF side of this, so I can imagine that it is perfectly possible; whether in the release or post-release.
