I understand it may seem rude to some to post a lot of questions, but IMHO it just shows general interest.
IMHO, a topic full of questions is much more considerate than a topic full of questions and argument.

Hopefully we can just move back to the topic. I can't see why people can't just PM members if they feel their post is rude, to save the topic going off at a tangent.

Agree 100% that's why he never answers my questions hehehe.

Oleg, has bouncing tracer been implemented into the game yet? I've watched all the videos from the show in Russia, but I can't see it implemented yet
Did Luthier manage to get all his calculations for it?

Anyway, Oleg i know 3D vision is not going to be in BOB, but are there any plans to have it in the future?

has anyone tried 3D vision in a flightsim and how did it look and feel?

Yes, the makers of TrackIR offered a system back around 2002 (before 3d had its resurgence). A SimHQ review reported that it helped with judging distances at short ranges in Il-2, but that the shutters were somewhat annoying. Some other games didn't work as well.

I don't think it will be released before Christmas. February/March has been suggested as a possible date (I can't remember who said that). So some time after that, I would think.

It was 1C-SoftClub, the russian publisher, who said spring 2011.

cockpit and the outside world more.

ed: after a little googling, it turns out that the absolute natural limit for depth
perception is about 400m, but on a TV screen, the limit is much lower due to
the resolution limiting the size of binocular differences.
100m limit might be closer to the mark.

Good point and something I didn't realize. I imagine low level flying could be pretty interesting...

For that video, glasses will do nothing.

You need to use this technique:

How disappointing. The easily offended PC people have got in first.

If you forget history then you have more chance of a repeat
