+1 for the trees!

I would also like to see the armoured car or one of the AAA guns fire off a round! Maybe too early for that?

Meanwhile, hey Oleg how about a visual demo of (say)trees rendered first under DX9c, then DX10, then DX11? I'm hoping this is a request that's simple to grant. Of course I'm assuming it's already in the code for SoW_Bob.

We using the code of trees that we bought from third party. Currently there is just couple of trees type. They are in development. That speed up he development we decided to use not our own code in some of the parts. It seems that some parts is cheaper to buy and use than to develope ourselves like in the past... in the past we were developng everything ourselves.

in DX10 and 11 they will looks similar. DX11 will give advantage in other items. Can't them name all at the moment.

Oleg, I have no doubt you and your team will provide an amazing sim that defines the genre.

Please take the time to create something that we can instantly recognise as worthy of the Maddox name.

Would this be SpeedTree? Some pretty impressive stuff can be done with this from what I've seen!

Yes, their basic code and our modifications. We need to make more large distance of view with the high quality using this code.

Hi Oleg, it's good to hear that you're open to using third party tech to avoid reinventing the wheel. Would you consider licensing Euphoria Euphoria technology for dynamic character animation?

I'd like my pilot's head position and orientation in external views to be linked to where I'm looking at in the cockpit. So if I'm using a 6DOF head tracking system, someone looking at me from an external view, eg. my wingman, would see all my movements. Ability to make hand signals would be great too.
