Dear Friends,

 

Autumn has arrived in Moscow and Las Vegas and even thought the air temperature is dropping, our work pace is heating up fast. Work on our new cloud tech continues and is making rapid progress. We will make many different “cloud patterns” over time as we mentioned previously, but right now we are trying to create some quality cloud designs that we can put into Beta testing and fulfill the minimum designs needed to get you up and flying with them sooner rather than later. Please enjoy these screenshots and prepare to get lost in them!

 

Full text and visuals HERE.

There has also been some good news with some research endeavors Jason has working on. If all goes well It may bring a new warbird to our skies. One that many of you have asked for. Stay tuned for more on that.

 

Now what could this be, speculation time. (?B25?)

Nope, both are tanks that fought at battle of Kursk, neither of those fought there. My guess would be Stug and Churchill or KV-85.

ooooooh a possible lead on a single aircraft he says huh... I really want it to be the A-26, itd be perfect, its like the A-20 but bigger! actually carries a bigger payload, is faster, and probably about equally maneuvarable! and most importantly it fixes the most important problem of the A-20: only having 200 rounds per gun, making it rather limited use as a heavy fighter.

Anyway, it could be anything I think, Id say people have asked about just about every conceivable plane. B-25, B-26, A-26, La-7, Yak-3, heck theres even people asking for the 109 G-10 and 190 A-9! or a wellington or a Yer-2 or a pe-3 or or or... so many options haha

So, will the Mosquito and the Baguette (whatever it is :P) be released in the next update? What about the new fuel system and droptanks? Glad to see work is coming along, but please dont rush! Take as long as you need to make sure whatever you release is top notch (like it ALWAYS is <3) and uhh... Take it easy on ol' Mike, let him open the cowl flaps a little bit before you engage WEP. Much love to all you developers! <3<3<3

If I can’t see P-51B cockpit shot then Mosquito cockpit photos work just fine. Just fine.

 

After gazing at the cloud pictures some more, I'm very impressed with how the game reflects them in the water below. I know its always (I think) been there but it really is lifelike. Very eager to see the new clouds up close and personal.

Mosquito definitely won't be next update, doesn't have textures in the cockpit yet. Next Normandy aircraft will be the P-51B, and they said to expect that in November.

The Mosquito and the P51b are nice additions to the game and I personally cannot wait to fly them! Thanks for the previews offered.

New clouds are a nice replacement to the old ones shall they work without any reduction of the graphic card performances?! I hope for the best!

Great work, thanks. :salute:

Supermarine Walrus, obviously. Has to be a Walrus. ?

Or maybe not. A PBY would be nice though.

My faves would be:

1) Fi 156

2) FW 189

3) Some floats on the Ju 52

 

But the Chaika would make me very happy as well. :)

Those massive thunderstorm cells look amazing. :clapping:

 Mosquito cockpit looks very busy. Typical "British ergonomics". ?

Jason, clouds looking lovely and good to hear they actually save fps rather than the opposite. 
 

But how do they scale? Current gen make you wish for the clouds from il-2 1946 at any setting below high. For high res VR having these lower settings work is a big deal.

I feel like the research part suggest something we haven't seen in the game before.

Heavy bomber? Lancaster

Torpedo bomber? Beaufort

or maybe Recon? AR196

Aww..  where is my CC….?

Posted (edited)

I'm backing the twin engined Gloster, as while I'd be happy to go with the Mustang MK.I, I reckon the Meteor is more appropriate for the time line of the two ETO maps we will soon have. Plus there's been a poll for the Meteor and not for the Mustang MK.I

 

I just hope if it is the Meteor the research gives up a MK.I & a MK.III

Even if it's a nice plane

Unfortunately I am pretty sure it will not be the Beaufighter  ?

 

Anyway I will love every plane You will bring to the virtual sky   ??

 

 I love Your work

Hopefully we’ll see an Allied level bomber of some sort.
