with the newer gfx cards we can use 3 or more monitors at the same time, without using a matrox 3H2go. for ex using one big widescreen in the middle, and a smaller 19' or 17' on either side to improve peripheral view (this is an economical way for many of us to add more lcd monitors since many of us now have upgraded to bigger widescreens and still have some older smaller lcd's around, or can buy them on the cheap)

but BoB would need to be able to support that, for ex central 27' monitor = 60 FoV, with a 19' in landscape mode on either side adding 30 FoV for each of those , producing a total of 120 FoV over the 3 monitors side by side.

this is already possible in some current games released in the last 2 years, i hope you allow us this function in BoB as well.

maybe. I put such things in secondary importance, becasue of not so wide distribution.

Regarding the release of the game, I think Oleg couldn't have been more clear.
He NEEDS the game to be out the soonest possible, so he can get back a portion of his investment.

When it comes to huge companies time may not be crucial, but in a small company like 1C:Maddox, every delay costs a lot to the owner. Both in terms of money and personal time with family/friends/etc. I don't think that Oleg can sleep well knowing that game is not in the market yet.

That's why I think we should all give him some rest and wait, knowing that Oleg ABOVE ALL wants the game released soonest possible.

And when it is released, I wish him a nice trip to mountains

To all of the people who keep saying that Birds of Prey looks so great, I know I am not an artist but I think the picture on the right is closer to real life than the exaggerated colors of BoP.

Have faith in Oleg. I can tell from the alpha shots that this sim will be stunning when it is complete, so have patience. Thank you Oleg.

Probably somewhere in between, but you are right - the saturation, but especially the contrast is much too high. When you have a blinding noon sun above but can barely see anything inside your cockpit, somethings definitely not right.

@ OM:
You can take pictures of a Black Shark in Russia

Just don't play sharkbait!

Maybe you can share some shots you made after your vacation

Also vigneting is the things that shouldn't be. I understand as photographer that some time vigneting makes the pic looking better and sometime using vigneting myself on the photos, but all the time... "simulating" fringe region of eyes - it shouldn't be done because just of this...

I can't post myself here the link to my photo website to show undewater and other shots. It would look like advertizement.

However I plan to post there with evaluation of EOS 7D (Canon again gave me new camera for the personal test) some shots from our office nearest time.
