Preliminary plane / feature list

[Ashton Lawson]

Only major gripe is that there still is no self shadowing on the planes...

Yah, um, hi.

If you've seen the latest screenies from many articles, you would change what u just said.

The planes cast shadows on themselves!
The airport terminals cast shadows on the planes!
Whenever something is in a shadow, it will be shadowed!

There IS self-shadowing, what do you mean

some of the screenshots dont have self-shadowing (flightsim.com review)

Might have been added in a later stage

I'm also not Russian, and I too like Russian Aircraft.  Esp. Sukhuoi-47

That's a very good assumption. However, has it ever crossed your mind that they may have just simply disabled it [shadows] in the main menu for better performance?

Does that also include cloud shadows?

Does this mean that the Mooney goes away?

Nope, I don't think so. It was mentioned in another thread. (Oshkosh Interview)

[Ashton Lawson]

Mooney will stay.

THE ULTRALIGHT IS THE MARINER BLADE!

Actually, it's the Air Creation Buggy 582 SL, which is a tricycle-type, two-seat ultralight with a fiberglass shell suspended beneath a hang glider-type wing.

The sailplane is a DG-808S Competition, which is a lightweight, high-performance sailplane constructed with composite materials.

Possibly that, or the video cards didn't support Shader 2.1 (which is required for this feature)...
