Since we cant ask the secret question, then Oleg how soon do you expect to start working on your next project? And do you think I can run SOW with a Geforce 9800 with 1gb of ram?

Secret question? What would that be?

I can't imagine any question that hasn't been asked.

Instead of asking "when it will be released" can we ask when will Oleg be announcing when it will be released

Would it be possible to enquire politely if some more video footage could be released please . TA.

Trumper - I think you are splitting hairs, but hey it is a variation of the question... when will it be released.

Sure you can ask, as you will in this thread. Obviously, there will be variations of questions regarding release times, etc. The purpose of this thread is to consolidate questions in one place regarding release date and system specs.

Posters can add information that helps others.
Referral links should answer alot of poster questions, which are in this thread.

The purpose of the thread is just to keep the two common questions from continuing to popup all over the forums, which cause off topic discussions.

Dear nearmiss,
aproaching the matter from a different angle.....What are actually system specs of an average computer Oleg is using to test and develop SOW?

Ciao!

Hello,

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the testing was done on Core 2 Duo machines (I don't know any other specs). This is very nebulous and of dubious reliability, so don't quote me.

Cheers,

Um until the release date is posted, and system specs details given then this thread is pretty pointless. In any case details like release dates and system specs are always subject to change depending on software testing, late coding and/or publishers' demands.

All it takes is a little patience. It'll happen when it happens and not before.

Hi Guys,

Been following the updates for a while now and this weeks is simply ridiculous. It's like eye rape.

Maybe you can answer 2 questions for me.

1. Field Of Vision - In IL-2 the max FOV is 90degrees left/right and with the cockpit taking up much of the up down space makes flying in cockpit a real challenge. Even with a Track IR.

Question/request:- Will there/can there be an option to increase max FOV to say 105 - 110deg? To bring the view closer to human FOV. For me having better situational awareness counts so much toward the enjoyment and gameplay.

2. Full cockpit vs Wonderview:- In IL-2 there is either Full cockpit or gunsight and sky. Nothing inbetween. It would be so good if there was a third option.

Question/request:- Will/can there be a player defined option to set the cockpit at 65% (or so) opacity, so pilots can still have more "sky" but also can have the feeling that they are still flying a beautifully rendered fighter plane?

Not too sure what the technical implications of the second request are but I had to ask anyway.

So 15-20 degrees wider max FOV and cockpit opacity settings (as the new wonderview) are my dream requests... Otherwise I am just going to have to bite the bullet and get a monster rig with 2 more 22" widescreens, which will solve my FOV question... But the cockpit opacity settings would be amazing to have... No longer will we have to choose between dynamic gameplay (Wonderview) and immersion (In cockpit)... We could have both.

Please give me feedback guys, I am interested to know your opinions on these questions/requests.

I can understand the apprehensions, especially about System specs.

In my own situation, my 24" 1920x1200 resolution monitor just went out. I have to replace it.

Everywhere I look I see 1920x1080P resolution monitors and the prices are very reasonable. Also, Oleg's updates appear to be 1920x1080 resolution when you drill down on them.

A monitor needs to be big for me to see. I doubt seriously I am the only person with such a problem.

This time I plan to go up on screen size to see better. I plan to go to a 25.5 or 27" monitor with 1920 x 1200 monitor. At least, this way I will be able to lower my screen size to the 1920x1080 to cover many possible resolutions. The prospects of having black borders at the top and bottom to accomodate the 1920 x 1080 really don't suit my interests.

If that is the way of it, so be it. Then of course the price for 1920 x 1200 resolution monitors is $100-200 USD greater than the same monitor in 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Then of course, if Oleg allows you to push the resolutions out high and wide I'll be in good shape.
