The project is now canceled.

Lovely update, Oleg. It's great to see the Defiant in the game. I know it's a minor part of the sim, but I did send you a detailed picture of a Defiant gunner (in colour) to show the GQ Parasuit which they wore. Will you model this in the game? It's only a cosmetic part, so really it's a bit inconseqiential, but I was just interested (because of my love for RAF BoB gear).

Also, the Defiant gunners had problems bailing-out. Will this be modelled, too? (sorry if it's been asked before, but I don't remember seeing it posted )

Keep up the excellent work. The Menu looks really easy to operate, which I think is great. I quite like the contemporary look, too. It reminds me of Brothers in Arms.

Please don't start Philip. This is a ludicrous question that will waste Oleg's time when he answers and you strike up a conversation. What do you want to know? If the relationship between the gunner arm length and harness release is realistically modelled, and their personality included in an algorithm to work out when they decide to try it so that we have an historically accurate chance of a rear gunner bailing out?

yeah - just model it accurately - turret latch damaged - gunner trapped inside to the end.

they couldn't get out of those turrets in flight with all that gear on while flying sedately in a straight line - how would anyone expect them to get out with the plane in a death spiral?

Excellent update!! Thanks Oleg!

Let's have none of this colonialist nonsense over spelling conventions! Far too many 'zeds' and far too few 'ewes'!!

As a born Canadian, "Zed" always sounded stupid to me. I avoid it like the plague.

Shouldn't you yanks be busy getting excited about the new royal engagement?

oh I cant tell you all how sweet it is to be back in here reading the Friday Updates.

its absolutely GOLDEN


great update pics Oleg - I like the GUI the way it is...and if the background pic can be personalized that would be cool too - whatever

...could this sim be closer to release than anyone suspects?

+1 for Ilya's humorous postings..keep up the great work people
