Hi Oleg,
Thank you another excellent update - Fridays are good.
Hurricane screenie is my favourite - shadows on hangers are excellent too.

Excellent update, again! And this is a flightsim...?! I am starting to believe that flying a Lysander low between these trees and and hopefully not hit a train would be a thrill... I know Oleg will not go Gold before he feels ready, but these shots look really ready to me. Its a game, not reality, and I believe some "of us" are asking for too much. If the smoke from the lokomotive doesn't look absolutely right when it leaves the train, who in his RIGHT mind cares? Sort out the BIG bugs that can hamper gameplay and ignore the ignorable ones at this stage, is my opinion. It's not possible to get everything perfect anyway, no matter how much you try and how much time you spend trying. And someone will allways "complain" and point out that this and that should be better. I can imagine Oleg is really looking forward to a well deserved vacation now. I hope it will be a x-mas vacation...

It may not be possible to get everything perfect, but if your a perfectionist.. you will try really really hard to make it perfect and will not ignore anything.

Regarding single and multiple tracks.

The 1940's Ordnance Survey maps show which lines are single track.
The majority in SE England are multiple tracks
Maps can be viewed here http://visionofbritain.org.uk

On single track lines the track would usually be doubled through the stations to enable trains to pass.

True. If Oleg was not a perfectionist, this sim would probably not be nearly as great as it most likely will be. But a perfectionist must some time in time tell himself, in time: "This is it". If not, perfectionism will be diagnosed as an obsession. But as I also said, Oleg is ready when HE is ready I read he has skipped the British railroad-fences. Good! But someone is complaining that the grass in Britain was more yellow in 1940 due to the dry summer. If this is a "bug" that HAS to be corrected, I am truly starting to see obsession. (Please Oleg, don't get me wrong... you're the boss )
