Again: priority number 1 is to play BoB asap ... small fixes will follow, if necessary.

This depends a lot what is pleasurable for everybody...This being said, do not underestimate the importance of proper recreation: since 1940-50, railways in France have comparatively evaporated when looking at their present day status: I have studied very closely the harbors involved in BoB on the French side: their dedicated railroad network is not even 10% of what it was, and this is quite true of the general network (especially if you include the extensive 1m gauge network).
It is difficult to imagine now how much everyday life (and military transportation) revolved around railways...

So yes I give a damn about some precisions there (and do not start me on airfields!)
Amically,

I think Tree is scared to tell us where he lives.

Oleg,

what about something unstatic for tomorrow's update again?

I hope for some engine sounds soon.

Extensive rail system would be a big plus

Imagine if we cold lay our own rail tracks in FMB

Oleg,

I just read that soon coming Ati 6970 will have 2 GB VRAM.
The Nvidia GTX 580 has 1,5 GB but is a little bit faster.
What will be better for BoB? More VRAM or higher GPU Clock?

I'll get my K 98 and my scope.

Hecke, a good question.

I know this isn't the place for it (there are at least two other threads running on GPUs and System specs) but you might like to see this....

6950 competes with GTX 570/480 and is priced similar.

Gibbo: "They are here though. "
and:
"I can't speak for our competitors but we won't be running out and we shall be aiming to be the most competively price on the 6900 cards. "

Looks like AMD may well keep to their revised release date of 25th December.

Of course we won't know the truth until next Wednesday, 15th. From the leaked and general hype I'm expecting the general performance order of play to be :-
6990 dual
580GTX dual
5990 dual
6970 single
480GTX / 6950 (not sure which) singles
5870 single

<switching to the GPU thread>

i would just ask again that it would be great to see some system specs released - please.

also some shots of project galba!
