Soon. Soon! Few more months at most (hopefully). Looks great OvS! I can't wait to fly one. LOL! How soon is now? I can't wait to see some videos of you flight it!

Quite right Hellshade
Some more of the new features include:
- Improved Collision Avoidance routines especially with regard to fast fighter boom attacks on slow moving targets - NOTE! Collisions will still occur just as in real life due to pilot error!
- Implemented dynamic air turbulence which makes each craft look more real as the pilots jostle to keep formation individually - varies each mission with some overriding criteria: > 1) Depends on local wind speed - and weather patterns > 2) Clear days may be turbulent or smoother > 3) Gets worse in cloud
> Improved in cloud air turbulence.
> Implemented extra workshops setting that allows player to have wind affecting AI aircraft but not his own aircraft
- AI will now spend more time in 'A2A_Seek' looking for targets in A2A before going to A2A_Formup, also revised the limits on number of attackers per target.
- AI that are in A2A_Formup now 'check tail' to defend against potential attackers
and here the SE5, improved engine and cowl areas, radiator, wheels and more. Here it appears to have lost a wheel..
The first time I viewed this picture something just didn't seem right to me. Tonight I went back and increased the screen resolution to 100% and sure enough, I knew it, this Se5 is fly fishing for DVIIFs with a #7 line and a 3 pound tippet. I think DVIIF season is actually over, but mums the word here mates! S!Blade<><

Blade, it is the safety tether, so that the wheel won't hit the spectators when it detaches.

Let us hope you can catch some trout with it then, Blade. Pol, isn’t it time for another feature reveal? Hope it’s a screenshot of an unrecognizable part of the new plane!

Good idea, I'll post a few more items tomorrow if I remember! It's tomorrow somewhere...

And now for some more info: > Improved formation target selection criteria when scanning skies to prevent chasing targets that are 'running' at medium range or greater, or re-engaging targets that have previously been abandoned in A2A. > Revised Speeds at which craft explode when flipping over - craft should now be less likely to explode - also improved pilots survivability in 'on ground' crashes. Also, on this point aircraft now have damageable gear as shown in my previous post with the SE5 pic and landing without gear is more interesting now > Ground proximity now has less of a bearing on AI reaction to threats. > Aircraft will now start fighting for a period of time before doing morale checks to prevent immediately switching out of A2A and running. > Reduced frequency of 'all 4 wing' failures. > Improved Ground Avoidance code (now as per WOTR). > Lots of improvement work on terrain, including small towns, better trees, improved railyards, many changes to get a more natural look! More colours, more blending and the area outsde of the WW1 area now will look more natural and much more (and more to come). Some stunning views now (Work in Progress) :

This is huge. Love it. Also, that terrain looks amazing. Don't know how you guys do it but it's absolutely impressive.

Lovely. Just lovely! I’m liking all those improvements to the AI. Is this the new terrain xjouve was working on? Also, are those new wheels on that Nieuport? That, and the engine of course.
