Dear Pilots, Today’s DD takes a look at our cliff models for the Normandy Map. Making realistic looking cliff faces in a flight-simulator is always tough. Whenever you make a map with the English Channel this becomes necessary. Many other development teams have had to craft them over the years and we are no exception. We had our first crack at them when we made our Channel Map for Rise of Flight about 10 years ago. We’ve gotten better at making them and below you can see some work-in-progress images of how they currently look in IL-2 Great Battles. Work on the Normandy map continues and it is really starting to take shape. The map will be released later this summer. However, the next update is already in Beta and it will include the Arado AR-234 jet bomber. What an interesting and challenging aircraft to model. She’s pretty complex. And the AI B-26 will also be I the next update.

Wow....fun or what!! Friar's Mossie Mission to destroy the tunnel entrance worked a treat....it is a treat. Well done mate!! Tried it on my own as a singleton. Take off and low level run 100ft, few trees excepted, all the way. Max engine settings (3000 rpm 23 boost on last bit) equalled @ 310 mph so very exciting. Most flak guns were above me and didn't lower to engage, down amongst the trees along the river. Got to target. popped up to clear the buildings and caught some rounds in the engines but could carry on. Dropped 2 x 500 lbs and boom..... Thanks Col On my list of coops 👍
