Question: Will each hit make its own sound? Will a glass hit make a "glass sound" and will aluminum sound different then steel? Example...will a hit that penetrates an aluminum skin and then hits the armored back-plate make the appropriate sounds?

Thanks you very much

I agree.
We now hear a sound I have wanted for a long time: many pilots talked of their guns sounding like canvas (cloth) ripping. We can hear it now!
(Maybe it was present in FB, but if so was only heard by those with good sound systems).

lol but oleg had a meeting with nvidia monday gone, so at least at first there driver/card combo could be the best

I agree with you on one thing : If you build a rig mainly for SOW and don't care too much about power consumption, nVidia would probably be the way to go for initial release...

I am not in a debate nVidia/ATI ...They both have good and bad in each of them...But nVIDIA should find a way to be more eco-friendly...

Salute !

NP maybe is not the final solution, but it will do until we got the fusion under control.

Now, I really hate Ati for the sole reason, whenever they come up with a new driver, it may increase fps for some games, but same time produces new problems, problems which have been thought to be already solved with the previous driver.
Nvidias are like V8 engines, loud, consume a lot, generate a lot of heat, but reliable.
Atis are like boosted up mini displacement engines, cheaper at the gas station, but the require a shitload of maintenance.
(and once you got it back from the garage, you'll have to deal with new issues...)
nv ftw.

So we need a good nVIDIA/ATI Hybrid !

SAlute !

The lights in houses: Agreed that the blackout would mean they are not used much.

BUT if light can pass through the windows from inside, then surely burning buildings will look more real too, with flames seen through windows (or lights could be used together with flames)!!!

I love the comparison, I just upgraded to a GTX 470 (after my ATI 4850 croaked), and it really reminds me of my '69 Chevelle SS396: It's noisy, runs hot, but goes like hell! I was amazed at the amount of hot air the thing blows out when running a game. (still not so much as the politicians this season)

Winter is at our door...Your 470 will keep your feet and twins warm and comfy !

Enjoy your new rig ! Hope it will play SOW smoothly

SAlute!

Oleg, I might be a hopeless fanboi, but this video brings it to a whole new level. Good luck at the show, and happy bug hunting! I hope all your bugs are easily squashed! I'm chomping at the bit for the final release.
