Non Friday 2010-04-15 Development Update :)

[philip.ed]

Is the parachute affected by weather? Can it be shot at, and can the pilot get hit (but not the parachute) and start to bleed?
Also, if we played as Douglas Bader, would the bail-out sequence be a lot longer ?

In tools - no. In a sim - probably will be affected.
We plan to open chute with separate button (as option probably).

Maybe with only 1 button?
I mean you can press, for example, "a" key... well, if you press "a" when the pilot is in plane, then jump out, and if you press the same key later, when the pilot is in air, then open chute. Two actions with only 1 key, better to use with hotas/joystick .

Thank you for updates, keep good working (and forgive me for my bad english...).

This is a flight sim, not a parachute sim so that should be definately left out of the agenda and put that time on FM and DM.

Oleg, aside from parachute concerns, did you say SoW was coded for 64bit? I've been searching, but apparently not using the correct search words. can you please clarify?
thanks,

Of course you have a slight fps hit, which increases on lower systems, but compared to Il-2 the amount of planes you can have is in another world. If BoB is your thing, then it knocks Il-2 for six, even a modded Il-2

So philip.ed, how much did that 16 core 6.6GHz, 5Gb Cache rig with the 64Gb memory and nVidia 97000GTX (dual) cost you?

Big risk is that with so many options enabled, including billowing-silk simulation and the mutli-horde cross country escape chase there'll only be about 5 people able to afford the rig to run it. SoW servers could be pretty empty while they all pile back into Warclouds :-0

Seriously, when are we going to get the flipping game and why delay it with this peripheral nonsense?
