AWESOME! Look forward to more videos leaking out.

Found Another One.

Lots of good stuff in this video including formation flying, ship strafing... and bailout with damsel in distress?.. lol wtf. The game seems to run ultra smooth in this video as well.

I see hedges in quite a few places. Not as many as there should be but they probably are quite resource intensive articles. I guess one day soon bump mapping and tesselation will produce lots of very nice hedge lines for us. Until then I'm very happy with what I've seen. Looks very promising indeed.

The RAM restriction of 32-bit Windows is 4GB. Then peripheral devices like graphic card, controllers etc. hog some RAM. That's why you won't get full 4GB available when Windows is launched. On average you get a little over 3 to 3.5GB available in Windows.

I don't get where all people get this idea that a 32-bit windows OS can only use 4Gb of memory. Ever heard of PAE? The limit for 32-bit Windows 2003 Server Datacenter Edition is 128Gb!

Ok but.. that OS is for servers... I don't think many people use that type of OS for gaming.

The circumferences around the bases in this video; I wonder if that might indicate the radar ranges?
Does anyone know how the radar system will work in this sim? Will it be a realistic approach where radar detections are referred to the pilot through the radio by radar operators on the ground indicating to the pilot position, speed, and heading of incoming enemy contacts or recommend and intercept course for the pilot? Or will it be more arcade style with blips on the mini map?
