This picture may not be the best source to compare to (obviously because the camera won't pick up a real picture) but a difference can be noted


Awesome update; your dedication to this sim is commendable.

Yeah the tracer smoke does look a little bit like it was done with the MS Paint 'airbrush' but I suppose that we'll have to wait for a gameplay trailer before we know what we're in for. I guess that there has to be a compromise somewhere because if there are 100+ aircraft then thats gonna be a lot of tracer smoke.. It's got to be good looking enough to work and not kill your PC at the same time.

Can't be too long before we start seeing the release version...

Like the look of the defiant

The Defiant was made just outside of Wolverhampton where I used to live & occassionally they have open days at the factory they were made at.

Thank you Oleg. These are brilliant. Complainers go to hell. The terrain looks immersive as hell.

The me110's look lovely than you for the update pictures.

wheni first go online with this sim i will fly low over the cliffs of dover and shoot down all the over the top nit pickers as they will to busy inspecting the individual rendering of blades of glass or contrast of hedges against the colour of tarmac, they will never see me on there six as they will be to busy looking at there roundals and the ones measuring train lengths are completely going to get it

Out of interest, maybe the brightness of the roundel is relative to the game? people have said they feel the grass is too bright; maybe the two are related....?
