I was wondering when you would chime in, if you had bothered to read my above post, you would see where I am coming from on this.

*Just a hint, it ain't to advertise, I know you seem to think that is all I do but that is your own imagination running wild, fact remains that the most active topics on this forum are usually the ones that are devoted to complaining about other sims, sad really.

Not sure what your plans are here startrekmike, if you are not interested in Cliffs then perhaps the new forum dedicated to BoS (link in the first thread) would suit you better. If you are here just to stir things up thats not a good idea.
This is probably the most popular topic here, why don't you take some screen shots and jump in...

Really nice isn't it. The pilots look fantastic.

I don't get this, and I don't mean just you, Feathered. Everyone on every forum is gushing about how great the pilots look. Rise of Flight has had these sort of pilot animations for years, although I don't recall any reflections from the goggles, but I could be wrong.

It's almost as if no-one can think of anything else to comment on, unless they're busy identifying a LaGG-3 as MiG-3, like one chap.

The aircraft look good, but not as good as the 109s did. The one in the 'leaked' vid looked better imo. Particularly the aerials.

The animation is to be expected its 2013-4 we've been there before ...I would like to hear a bit about CEM and the weather, cloud cover etc. I know its too early for that, but that is my interest

For myself I thought it was a long time coming for a WW2 sim to have pilots of the right size and of a convincing pose, without the shrunken heads and startled, burger-eating pantomime that we are familiar with. The glint is there too towards the end of the vid. All in all the pilots looked very nice to me and looked like a natural part of the scene.

I am wondering if any part of the pilot's movements other than head turn will be tied to TIR. Just from an immersion and movie making standpoint it would be great if at least the lean L,R,F,B movements could be tired to TIR like the head turns are.. Since the animations are already there I imagine it wouldn't be too hard but I don't know. Now that Ilya is back on the scene and going to WWII the genre will be getting pretty darned interesting.. It is a GREAT time to be a fan of WWII flight sims.. Lost to look forward to.
