What Sim will SOW be?

[Chivas]

I agree that Oleg will have a very hard time optimizing this very highly detailed simulator too allow hundreds of aircraft in the air with playable framerates. BUT I wouldn't expect it to be that hard to simulate hundreds of extra dots in the sky as you would only get close to a couple of hundred at any one time. CPU bubbles?


That said having six hundred aircraft in the air is not totally necessary to feel your flying in the Battle of Britain. I can assure you that seeing a two hundred aircraft in the sky is more than enough. Your only seeing those hundreds of dots for a few minutes as the battle joins then all hell breaks loose for a much longer period of time where your focused on the threats in your immediate area. Then like many pilots have reported your suddenly alone in the sky. Also these huge formations didn't happen every day of the Battle of Britain. Much smaller engagements where just as common.

I'm sure Oleg will do everything in his power to have these huge formations where historically accurate. But there is no harm in being totally pessimistic.
