Cool vid though I really wish they would get the right markings for the aircraft. Hurricanes with crosses and 109's with roundels just ain't where it's at.

I'm sure the majority of people couldn't have cared less about the correct markings at the time and were just all too eager to spend their limited time actually seeing what BoB could do rather than making sure they had historically correct markings on for the critics. It's not like they're hard coded to the aircraft, it's an option so there is no point whatsoever in getting annoyed or wound up by it.

Agree, if you had ten people behind you waiting to have a go, you wouldn't worry about markings.

SaQSoN - I remember that Project Galba was put 'on hold' a while back so that work could be diverted to SoW:BoB (completing models for SoW:BoB).
Can I ask - how near completion is that project now?

BTW, I love how the Anson turned out!!!!

Interesting...maybe they have really implemented this:

The “Spitfire Women”, although not all of them got to fly the fighter pilots’ favourite plane, were the 164 female pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA). Once planes had been built a British factories, or shipped from overseas, or repaired after major damage, or indeed had to be scrapped, they had to be transported to where they were needed. So:

“In all, the ATA delivered 308,567 aircraft, including 57,286 Spitfires, 29,401 Hurricanes, 9,805 Lancasters and 7,039 Barracudas of the type that took Betty Keith-Jopp to the dark floor of the Firth of Forth. In mid-1942, when British aircraft production reached its peak, the ATA was moving more planes each day than British Airways did on a typical day in 2006.”

"Cep...." is probably short from "Серия (Series)" should be some minor differences, may be propeller?

Thx sneeke, makes sense.

Project Galba...hmm. Named after a Roman emperor that spent a lot of time in Spain. Spanish civil war maybe? Now that's a forgotten theatre for flightsims
