They are different depending of the type of the bullets with tracers and the year of use.

Thank you for update Mr. Maddox. It all looks fantastic to me. Good luck with Nvidia presentation.

I think it is in Il-2 on some good sound cards sounding, if the card is capable to render it .

You mean that short, high-pitched whistle?

That's amazing to see the AI flying. Impossible to say that just by looking at the video. Nicely done.

I also like the Trenches, and so many other fine details.

About smoke and tracers - I don't think in this case you would see long lines of smoke following the bolts of light. If there was any smoke at all it would be emanating from the blast tubes and immediately pulled over the wing and behind the plane. So, from the POV presented in this video, we wouldn't be able to see it.

Keep in mind that Il-2 has tracer smoke for some airplanes with .303s, namely Bf-109s, while others, like the Hurricane, only have tracers. I don't think it will be forgotten in SoW.

Actually if you position the camera correctly and your sound card is setup you will hear the faint whistle of the bullets as they fly past. In IL-2 it was much louder but in Forgotten Battles and since then it's quiet.

It has to be a camera not near a plane as any engine noise will overpower it.

Well, of course.

I guess that means I have a decent sound card. Sweet.
