Not one to play kill'm games.... the aircraft cockpit detail in this screenie I grabbed from the video
almost makes it worth while having my arse shot at just to have a good look around in there.

CFS was a lot of fun wasn't it? If you couldn't shoot down your opponent you could always just dive down onto the deck and let him chase you around a bit...he'd eventually plow himself into the ground trying to get at you. An excellent video by the way!!

Indeed Peter. Have a look at this recent screenshot; notice how the self-shadowing falls across the Blenheim observer's back and follows the contours of his parachute harness webbing and the collar of his lifejacket. Just incredible!
in my own defence can I just say that I wrote that instead of 'wtf Bill G are we saddled with something that needs a dual core Cray gazillion blealrthleathl lllll.......processor when Oleg can do this.....6 YEARS before you?!?!?!?!?!?!?!'
Thank you, nurse, I will have my nightcap now.....

I looked at the shadowing and then looked at the instruments.. as you do.. at least I do and there they are.. dead. I'd like to think that a 'latest' screenie of a sim being pushed as realistic was a little less staged Good shadowing though
If getting out more means not staying in to fly models with non-functioning instruments, I think I will
