We prefer to use only own ideas. Also with further development of the sim just imagine how much then should be different icons of different nations....
The big arrow only when the plane is near you. The size and transparence of arrow depens of the distance to the planes

That is actually a very good idea. How will the size and shape of the arrows be affected by monitor/resolution size?

Oleg, how is the RAF flight kit coming along too? Did you see my posts from last-week or the week-before?

Thankyou as well for taking the time to reply to us; it really is better than any pictures and I mean this in a good way

Hello Mr. Maddox,

I'm a long time fan and customer. I wanted to express my respect and gratitude for your work. SOW will surely be a great success.

S!

Just sprung to my mind. In IL-2 you can edit the file what the HUD displays(on the right), like Power %, flaps, radiator position etc. Can this be customised in SoW too?

Didn't check it. Must be. There is more advenced system of customization in principle. At home I have not SoW after attemp to stole it across internet from my PC.

Then beware of people pretending to work for nVidea...they might be SoW thieves!!

S!

Thank you. I edited power % etc. off my screen as I rely on the gauges I only keep overheat there and some others to keep playability. Sounds good SoW will be customisable as I prefer less stuff on screen and eyes more in cockpit to see what is going on

Great update Oleg, thanks!

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but for me- the main difference between the SOW terrain here and the landscape photos which have been shown in this thread, is that in the SOW shots there seems to be a lot (ie, too much) textural variation going on between each field- basically, from one field to the next, there is a difference in vegetation. In the photos on the other hand, you have quite a bit of uniformity across fields, which is broken up by variations in vegetation in different spots. The SOW terrain looks quite 'busy', while the photos look more placid or relaxed, to put it another way.

That's my only 'criticism' here, if you could call it that. On the positive side, it's great to see really nice resolution in the ground details.

Looking forward to purchase day Oleg- I'm sure you are too!

thanks again for the update
