You'll never have there photorealistic looking life except the pixelated europe or world.

Don't get the wrong the term photorealistic itself.

Using photos for the maps and term photorealistic is way different things.

Oleg please check email, I have some questions concerning buildings and rail.

I did answer them from my new office email.
Maybe it is lost due to this facrt.
Ok, will try to find or write again

Oleg, with the parachutes, if I bailed out and drifted towards a wooded area would my pilot simply fall through the invisible trees and land on the ground, or would the parachute get stuck in the trees(s)?

Currently with its animation fall through without additional animation and special clipping.

Thanks Oleg. Is it possible for the parachute to get caught? So does this mean the trees are just invisible objects?

Oleg, when will your event with nvidia be?^^ I hope you can show us a gameplay video then with as much as possible maxed out graphics settings and AA turned on. I'm so excited.

Oleg, would you implement direct relation between the fire temperature and the speed of the burning aircraft, because of strong oxygen supply in to the fire on board of the burning aircraft? Extreme temperatures must destroy the aircraft way much faster, than if the aircraft is just burning as a log in to the fireplace on the ground. Dependences must be:

Higher air speed=more oxygen in to the fire=extreme temperatures=faster destruction of the aircraft.

I have read, the memoirs of Johannes Steinchoff, and he wrote, that the propellers of the Bf-109 in Sicily were shining at the sun as a mirror, because they where polished as mirrors from the dust picked in to the air by the aircraft starting in front of the next Bf-109. The dust in to the air have polished the air propeller, because of the rotation of the propeller in to the dusty air full with sand. The mix of dust and sand acts just as sandpaper at the paint and the metal. Please consider this effect, and implement it in SoW.

~Regards!

We have some modeling depending of altitude....

As for prop, when we will probably model conditions of aircraft use in Sakhara, then probably shinning of such type maybe present.
