No one really knows. Oleg has only mentioned briefly that SOW will use multi cpu's but that's about it. I'd guess the specs will be a little higher than ROF but that's only a guess. Rumor has it that the specs may be posted this spring or summer but take it with a grain of salt.

Hopefully we should know the spec's before Christmas.

But what Christmas?

2011 of course haven't you read about it?

Well as long as we're not getting updates at events etc / trailers and gameplay videos it's rather safe to say the game is more than a year away, it won't just pop up for marketing and get released with in a month.

Note that in the two years since creating Oleg's official thread there have only been a couple of "updates" posted. All of which appear to only be a few rather simplistic images of objects. None of which show any real evolutions of the 3d work.

No videos to see how things work, or don't, or the fluidity, interplay of flight dynamics, weather, illumination, ground movement, ground object details, damage modelling, feel of movement and related details and functionality.

If you look at it on the whole, this appears rather suprising as much as the community which has emerged around IL-2 and participated in hundreds of thousands of speculums and thread postings.

If you want Specificulations...it will require a competent CPU and a robust videocard with some ram thrown labled with a couple G's. Four fans : case, powersupply, cpu, and vid card. You can take the above to the bank.

In addition it will be quite some time before we see any significant notifications from the developers and even longer till a final release.

Yup,I think the next 40% remaining work will be putting everything together in the 3D engine.
Another year of development seems possible.
It might not be a bad thing,because an additional year will bring much more powerful rigs available to us ,allowing a much better experience.

Yeah, got admit its looking more like a 2011 release. Then again in December they were on about a dedicated SOW website, so who knows. I just take everything we hear about updates/news and divide it by 2 then add a pinch of salt and stick a couple of years on it.

SR ARBOLES (TREE),
Purchasing a domain means what ? Precisely ...nothing...it is simply the forking over of a small payment to reserve a preferred URL. It is a prophylactic if you wish to prevent someone else of acquiring that exact domain name.

Now for some REAL information:
I saw Oleg the other day and he spent .25MM Rubles on a large delivery of Ceran Wrap, I nearly shat myself then he told me it was only about $7400 USD. Now that is undisputable proof that the game is complete, has been pressed, distribution network well greased (in a good way of course) and that FINALLY they are mailing out the SOW CD's in shrink wrap this weekend.

Oh happy day !



PeaceS

PS we should toast the event with a partaking of some Courage and a Ploughmans.
