Thanks for sharing Mystic.
This really begs three questions (both of which are likely only known by the developers):

1. With the new engine and programming, AND our more current hardware will the FPS in BOB:SOW be similiar with most of the eye candy turned on to that of IL-2? 3Gig CPU and 8800 is generally be the next step for most expecting upgrades this year. I have a AMD64 2.2GHZ and 6800Ultra 512Meg vid ram and 1 G system Ram. How well does it currently run on these two systems?

For example many of us have LOMAC and IL-2. LOMAC FPS are terribly low even with moderate eye candy settings on. This makes it basically unplayable so we never play it anymore. I don't know if it is inefficient programming/rendering or not but low FPS can make/breaks a games longevity. Fortunately IL-2 series had good enough FPS that it has been rewarded with a long lifeline.

2. What CPU and vid card are the developers using (with the eye candy on) how does the avg FPS compare to IL-2?

3. What quarter might it be released?

I really enjoyed Olegs candor (assuming he was the guy at the stick), and with all the questions being tossed I for one would hate to be answering the same questions over, and over, and over.

Thanks again
