Cockpits are beautiful! They should be very immersive.

Mr. Maddox, thank you for partially answering my questions in the previous update thread, when you replied to Zapatista. My original questions were more detailed and I had more of them , but if you can't answer them (yet), I'm happy with a "Can not answer now" reply.

- Is surround gaming (3 screens) being taken into account in development? Flexible FoV? Or will there be an option for users wit 3 screens, to render the view through 3 viewports, like it was done in the racing simulation rFactor?

- Will it be possible to use real DeviceLink cockpit dials in MP? As a way to avoid what could be considered cheating by others, the dials which are destroyed in the game, the real cockpit dials get deactivated through DeviceLink (data output = 0).

- Will we see raindrops on the windscreen, like in the original IL2 demo?

- Will we see rivets on the wing and would they be bump- or normal-mapped?


- (answered) Is the SoW engine ready for future 64Bit development, so it can use more than 2GB and load everything into memory on systems that have the memory? Like load all LoD models and all textures into memory to fill up 8GB?

Thanks!

Did anyone notice that some of the bolt heads are actually embossed? The detail and the care is absolutely incredible. I'm just getting used to being blown away.

Oleg, I just saw these questions posted by JAMF which I think are really interesting:

- Is surround gaming (3 screens) being taken into account in development? Flexible FoV? Or will there be an option for users wit 3 screens, to render the view through 3 viewports, like it was done in the racing simulation rFactor?

- Will it be possible to use real DeviceLink cockpit dials in MP? As a way to avoid what could be considered cheating by others, the dials which are destroyed in the game, the real cockpit dials get deactivated through DeviceLink (data output = 0).

- Will we see rivets on the wing and would they be bump- or normal-mapped?

Holy mother of all cows - those cockpits are truly amazing! The only thing missing to make them 100% realistic is some of my drool on the glass

I also realized that I skimmed some posts by Oleg in this thread for the first time in years without even reading them as it's Friday night and my wife demands attention... I was not long ago that I would have yelled "Quiet woman! One of my gurus have spoken - and I have to read every sentence at least ten times and wrestle all the information I can out of it!"

Have a good weekend Oleg (and the team!)!

My pc on the other hand has curled up into a ball and started crying

Love the look of the city out the window too, looks great
