I am not worried about graphics, sound at all. I am more worried about better simulation and physics characteristics.

In my opinion immersion is first simulation and physics than graphics or sound. To me screenshots Oleg shows here are beyond my expectation about graphics, many complain about WIPs graphics. I do not worry about that!

I am interested in the new level of simulation SoW will bring us. Most interesting feature i read at the moment is about clickable cockpits and more complex control of your aircraft. Yes, this is a great advance.

Oleg can you bring us next updates some advances that sow ll allow at level of sim n physics?

Maine, where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.

About the DRM, stayed away from RoF because of it. Now that they
got rid of it I'll buy the boxed Iron Cross that will be released soon.

Because that, in my opinion, is the stealthy attempt to introduce pay-to-play even for offline games and I will most certainly not stuff my hard-earned € down some publisher's throat (not to mention that the marketing department would surely like to bombard me with tailor-made spam mails).

If SoW follows this trend then I have to bear the pain and not purchase it for I absolutely refuse to sign away my own rights as customer and PC admin.

+1. I really am looking forward to SoW, but will not buy it if it has DRM that requires I be online to play. I don't expect it will, but chimed in just to be sure my smallish vote is heard.

Well I will buy it, DRM or not. Oleg deserves sales for this incredible work, independently from my opinion about DRM. I will support him anyway.

It's your 'more bullets' sig that has him confused, he has fallen prey to the common misconception that trigger happy rednecks only live in the states. Truth is we can be found all over the world. (but mostly in the more rural areas)

Ok, I'm going to risk it, and I'll finally start to let myself get excited !

Well, I only play online - I mean, I couldn't care less.

Eventhough I don't like this kind of DRM

In your DP, is it this 109:



Just visited that museum last Saturday in the squad meeting.

EDIT: it now has the engine cowling closed, and some planes around it have changed.

Right, Erkki! I found the picture on http://www.virtualpilots.fi/en/hist/...mersukansi.jpg
Although I live in the Netherlands I speak Finnish. I'm bilingual.
