You don't want to do that here in Australia..illegal here...the government spy cameras will catch you and the fine turns up in the post.

I thought of that. But that little bit of detail doesn't trump functionality in my opinion. It seems like a misguided priority in my opinion. 

Lol. Typing at a stop light. Not a lot of time to edit. 

The question of priorities, though, may possibly be a non issue. If I recall correctly, different members of the team specialise in different areas, and I believe that they are currently down a programmer. This means that a new pilot model wouldn’t slow down the development at all, as this is done by a modeller.

 

Also, I’d just like you to know that I’m not trying arguing with you, in case you may feel that way.

Different style crew helmets - will the crew automatically pick the correct helmet type for plane/position, or do you think we're looking possibly at a dressable figure such as CLoD has?  

[JG77-FluGb0t-]

Nice.

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

Wish they would have the option to play dress up with the dolls?

Lovely looking cockpit for the Adro

[Guster]

Lovely cockpit. IRL I'd feel terribly exposed sitting there, much like I would in a Porsche 917.

you're not exposed if nothing can catch you

The good ol' underhanded compliment that keeps the devs motivated

I never had issues with rendering speed of units, for me it’s zooming in that makes units disappear 

[Luftschiff]

It wasn't an underhanded compliment it was what we call a joke, the only rendering problems I've had in IL2 they fixed like 5 years ago.

+1 on the 917 - it’s just crazy.

Beautiful pit.

I really wish we would be given the “50 mission crunch officer’s cap “option.A really nifty “fly-boy” look…I’m just sayin’

[IckyATLAS]

Beautiful cockpit indeed. But the crew clothes and helmets are very nice too. If these trucks are default game items and not collector items, then I feel the quality has much increased compared to the Soviet Gaz, Zis trucks we had, but I may be wrong. Inside the game the detail and rendering quality of these new trucks may become lower.

 

I love the look and feel of the leather jackets and helmets. It is absolutely realistic. Maybe the jacket leather is too brand new, perfectly greased.

If the flying pilots jacket leather could be a little worn out then it would just be wow. You will say I am nitpicking but I wonder if the collar fur could be improved. Anyway superb work.

Good news. 

 

Very nice cockpit, looking forward to testing it in VR. 

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

That seems like a surprisingly usable and modern cockpit layout, with something very much like a 6-pack, engine controls all handy by the left hand, engine instruments centralized....

[Reinhardt]

Very nice, very nice, can't wait. Even that truck is looking good. It's fairly "modern" looking, like a cold war era truck.
