Well done Oleg and crew- these pics keep getting better. It's good to see the progress you're making.
The picture of the Spitfire pilot is brilliant- i cant wait to see an animation of the pilot moving after seeing this one with the 'natural' tilt of his head.

Oleg, very nice update.

In the first set of shots, the RAF pilot looks like he's wearing his goggles down with no oxygen mask. By all means a pilot might have done this, but really they would have the mask and have the goggles up unless they enjoyed having their vision distorted.
I could go into more detail, but I don't want to bore the rest of the community

Of course there are loads of combinations for the way a pilot could wear their headgear, but such a set as you have posted seems very unusual to me.

I must add though that it's great to see that you've used the research I sent you for the helmet and goggles! The goggles you have moddled were only used by a few (no pun intended) RAF pilots in the battle, so although it's correct if you want to get really picky the Mark III(a) goggles would be better

I'm sorry for sounding like such an anorak; it's only a cosmetic detail, and by all means just put this at the bottom of that ever-lengthening-list.

Oleg,

How about the video you promised???

Oh yeah...that was last week.

Looking really great.

You tell 'em mate. Bloody know it alls.

This week has to be the most positive response to an update for months (so far). And I don't mean because people are feeling guilty.

I recently bought 'Kursk 1943 - Theatre of War', a ground based tank/infantry strategy game published by 1c games.
The level of detail available in this game as published is vastly inferior to what we've seen in the screenshots shown by the team developing Storm of War.
In this, I mean that the level of detail in the ground objects shown by Mr Maddox is vastly superior to that shown in a dedicated ground warfare 'game' only recently published by the same company.
Yes, I also have Crysis Warhead. It's pants.
I have an intel i7 860 / 6 gig RAM / AtI 5770 set up, @ 1920x1080 which runs the Kursk game only 'ok' on full graphics settings.
I'm looking forward to spending some cash.
Bring it on.

(actually that contradicts something I said in another thread, but what the hell, I'm feeling good today).

Your post seem's a bit odd to me, the goggles look to be perfectly centered and square to the pilots face. Regarding the mask, unless at 10,000 feet and above, there is no need for it. And would therefore be an option for the pilot...I still hope for a pure positive reaction from you one of these weeks, I know that you mean well, but the goggles are not worn low in that shot.

SlipBall · #**168** 10-08-2010, 10:20 PM

Thank you for the up-date Oleg, hope that your parents are well...Foo, excellent work!

If anyone slags off these pics I am personally going to hunt them down.

This looks AMAZING, and I can't wait for the release!!!!

Hey, just to be clear, I wasn't criticizing at all! I was responding to someone saying the runway didn't look any better than IL-2. I was defending the way the runway looked....if it's a runway

.

You you are right, I doubt they would have targets and such sitting so close to a runway. But I think I am seeing a tire track in that shot....if tire tracks are present then the movement of ground units is going to be interesting.

My interest about grass runways is still piqued. I'm trying to dig up some info on them but still not having luck.
