Yeah!! I would love to work on SoW in that Office!

Wow she's tiny, hope she loves this game I see you got her a joystick..

Thanks for the updates.. I hope she doesn't take offense to that I just mean she barely fits in that chair..

its a place of work yes...making state of the art flight sims for the PC market ....im just saying they might have moved on from XP and 15 inch monitors.

Thanks for the photos Oleg, good to see the team getting stuck into BOB.

I have a question regarding the Mission briefing screen - will you be able to transfer mission information into the cockpit after the briefing, to refer to while you are flying, for example, mission notes to remind you what are the key mission objectives, oblique target photos and what to be careful of (barrage balloons, AA concentrations, etc.)

I loved the photos! Especially the briefings ones!

Much nicer and healthier than where I worked for 7 years.

Well,just a little misunderstanding.
I mean a comparison between their working enviroment.
Just like 2012 VFX team's work is an ace one in movie field,Oleg team's work is an ace one in flight sim field.
They deserve a better studio..
such as,
I can not watch a CRT screen as much time as a LCD one(it is said,CRT does more harmful than LCD?) .If I were their logistics manager,at least,I will change all the CRT monitors for LCD,I think....although it is also said CRT does more good in graphic drawing..

And maybe,
you can make a photo album with photos like these,and add it into SOW's bonus disc with the titile Daily life in our studio.

I expect the development team that made MS Flight Sim X had lots of 30" LCD screens and Quad core systems that ran at 3.? GHz. At see what good that did them in the end.

Remember that we are enthusiasts! We lie and cheat and buy the latest hardware behind our wifes backs just to get those extra few fps from our sims! (well I do at least! Within reason )

"Average gamers" have average systems and XP would be the most common OS out there at the moment and for a long time to come. Hell, if this sim was developed on the system and required the latest hardware the is no way that 90% of the "average gamers" will be able to run the thing without putting the slides down to minimum!

I expect developing the system on average systems will give the developers a reasonable understanding on how the system will run and when they get down to performance tuning.

Also, from my experiance in 3D modeling and image manipulation (very amaturish to say the least) I spend most of my time scratching my head and wondering why the thing on the screen doesn't look the way I want it! Machine performance isn't critical for some jobs!

Cheers!
