Had been his personal lucky charm, originaly from India where it had been used for some 2000+ years in this purpose.

The roundel we have now is after war when the Allies said a hakaristi can not be left on planes so thus the change.

Now, let's let the dead horse finally rotten away

It's sad that those nazi pigs have screwed up that historical symbol.

For those who do not know how to distinguish swastikas: The nazi swastika is tilted. The Finnish hakaristi stands upright and it's blue, accept on the armored vehicles. There it's black.

I`ve tried 3d first with B17-the mighty eight and found the experience marvelous.
Having said that you will find that that title was most definitely not made for 3d-vision!
So all this talking if SoW:BoB would include 3d-vision is meaningless.
The program sends all video-information, including depth, to the graphics-driver, which then produces the output to the screen.
If the graphics-driver is programmed to deliver a 3d-picture he will do it with any game that gives depth-information to it.
With the b17 ptogramm i used a nvidia card with 3d-glasses connected to this card, a solution for which driver developement was cancelled sorrily.
I still have those, now useless, shutter glasses around here somewhere, though no nvidia card anymore.

it doesnt matter what game, all you need is a small script that displays two game views at the same time, one 5 (or if you want better depth perception, 10) cm to the LEFT of the other. If the game has a 3d world, it will turn out 3d.

its actually really easy.

Grazie Oleg Maddox bel video di azzione.
Tank you Oleg Maddox good action video immersive and the music is for big big action.
i loock fiat g 50 seem to be very agile now i seend the the sound of machine guns TRRRRRRRRRR and i the terrain is fantastic good good also the reflection.
but i loock strange dammage to airplane the flames yes is good the airplane not have the damage flames exit from a...
The flame comes out of a hole from a crack i noot loock this.
airplane lost when the pieces after being hit does a white smoke.
ok ok little defect but the GAME IS GOOD VERY GOOD.
I'd like to see the reaction of the airplane if you turn off the engine in flight or if you damage the engine. I'd like to see the aireplane who is touched by another plane and see if you damage an airplane slamming floor plan with another airplane.

No, it doesn't play the video at all.

Just a small point about the use of swastikas..

As a symbol it's only completley banned in Germany and Russia.(with a few religious exceptions)

The problem arises because all computer games (regardless of age rating) are classified as 'Toys' for children and many countries will not allow swastikas in them because of that reason.

If it's in a film then that is classed as Art and is allowed.

Seems to have escaped the attention of a lot of you guys when Oleg has been writing words to the effect of:

"Please you ask for too much", "You say that I promise [x] in next update but I didn't", "I need 25 hours of sleep now", etc, etc etc...

He has made it very clear that he is super-busy at the moment. He has a young kid on top of that, the implications of which any parent would understand...

Of course the spoilt teenagers in here cannot be brought to understand any of this, it is obvious now, they're just totally hopeless. They don't really care about anything but themselves, sign of their age and the times.

Of course the developers are provoked to reply when the tactic is "Hey, I'll pull stupid criticism out of my arse and then come with an inane suggestion about how to fix it". This trolling has been going on for quite a while now and is ruining the interaction with the development team.

Sorry, did he ask people to stop asking questions somewhere?

He has made it very clear that he is super-busy at the moment. He has a young kid on top of that, the implications of which any parent would understand...

Again, he hasn't told or asked anybody to stop asking questions has he? He's merely letting us know how he is so we have a reason for his absence, not that he needs to tell us anything, he does after all have the ability to decide for himself much as you seem to think otherwise.

Of course the spoilt teenagers in here cannot be brought to understand any of this, it is obvious now, they're just totally hopeless. They don't really care about anything but themselves, sign of their age and the times.

Did you want your underwear in red or yellow now that they need to go on the outside for your role as Oleg's protector?

What on earth was stupid or critical about asking Oleg's motivation and reasoning behind his choice of the Battle of Britain?

I know where you're coming from, although as mentioned by others some of your criticism isn’t well directed (IMO). These threads become mammoth, and it’s a wonder how Oleg has the time to wade through them. A lot of the questions put are made without much thought (eg, as you say, some questions almost suggest that the development team are beginners, which won’t have been the poster’s intention, and could have been avoided with some thought). Fortunately we are all being given a chance to ask questions, and unfortunately that inevitably leads to a lot of ill-advised posts. The fact is, it is probably easier for Oleg to ignore posts (like this one) than it is for us all to argue over which post is necessary. Like I say, I know your point, but you have now made several posts on the subject (with responses from others and now me) which are as much OT and in the way of the real discussion as the posts you’re complaining about.

It’s just not practical to moderate all the posts, so just ignore the ones you don’t like and don’t worry.

Can't you see the video? - It is not a vid for 3D glasses, it is a cross-eye video. Cross your eyes and you'll have a 3D image in the middle.
