Finally... able to start DL2.7 at around 16:18 UK time. I won't sit by me PC whilst it chugs away getting it... although I might nod my 'ead round the corner and check it every 5 secs to see when it's done!

BTW looks some good stuff in there.

Oooh yeah, baby!

There is an issue (as they say it's still WIP) with ambiance under the clouds, which I have only yet seen a problem with full overcasts, but mostly, it's a wow thing for what I've seen so far.

More impressed than I expected, actually.

Had a quick look to see if I can spot anything not mentioned (such as new ground units, triggers and other stuff in ME), but so far, not seen anything.

Really looking forward to having a flight proper, soon.

Been having tremendous fun looking at the new weather -because it ain't just the clouds that different, it's made the conditions much more real looking from what I have seen so far.

I tried in the past to get convincing fog or poor vis and was never happy -looks like I can get much closer to what I was after now.

Anyone fancy a bit of poor weather either this flight or maybe another day soon?

The option to alter the trigger-box shape is very useful too -the circles were quite limiting at times.

I see they've improved the Russian A2A weapons (or some of them, R-27) which will help my lousy A2A attempts recently...
