About this level of graphic detail, do you think SOW will be so CPU linked like Il2 or it will benefit of a pair of VGA ( SLI or crossfire?)
Does we need nvidia, or ATI will do the job too? ( we cannot have perfect mode in Il2 with ATI if I remember)
Can you comment about it , Oleg?
Because upgrade will be a necessity for all of us I think.

ATI will run IL2 1946 just fine in perfect mode my HD 3870 has no problem. You just can't use water 3,4 only 2, looks just as good as NV 3,4.

Understood.
Well, all this years and I never bought a ATI card because I thought they cannot do perfect mode...
I hate to admit but I´m a moron.
So, I will start to look for one of those Radeon 5970 babies.
The drivers are stable too?

[AdMan]

well I don't think this:


is too far off from this:


wouldn't be too hard to do a little reshaping to give it more of a classical Oak shape.

These trees actually strike me as Oak trees if you were to prune them and keep them in an Orchard.

Good pics, thanks.

[Blakduk]

Nice pics- very interesting amount of detail in the ground objects for a flight sim. I makes me wonder what this new engine will be capable of in future.
I notice in the picture of the gunner position the broken glass in turret- is this a randomly generated break pattern or a pre-rendered texture?
I can't wait to see this damage modelling in action- i've become very used to the one in IL2 through years of being shot down .

[Chivas]

The reason the trees don't look like Oak trees, as they are probably Ash trees, also native to England. Although it could pass for an Oak if your too far away to notice the shape of the leaves. I'm sure there will be more than one type of tree modeled so there is no point throwing a noose over a limb yet.

Let's not forget the plane tree




The plane tree has nature's finest 'cameo'...in my opinion:

Not a moron, just didn't know. Nothing against that. I don't know how stable the new cats are as I'm still using 9.3 and have no need to install any newer one. Heard its a mixed bag so far. I'd wait until we get closer to the release date and save yourself some money unless you are without a decent usable card at the moment.
