Thanks Luthier!

You are of course right. My point was that people are complaining about the video, and I was trying to show that the level of detail is much higher than what is shown in the video, as with the Bf-110-picture wich I find absolutely fantastic. If the Dorniers had been shown with the same level of details, I guess much of this critizism had not been posted.
After reading the replies to my post I realise that a lot of people didn't understand my intention, so I guess I have to work on my english.

By the way; the new picture of the Dornier looks stunning too! Never noticed the variant with V-engines before.

S!

SoW looks good even in DX9 and as WIP Can't wait to see it in full DX11 glory!

[Snuff_Pidgeon]

MMMMM V-Engines gorgeous Dohhh!

I just noticed in the new picture of the Dornier you can see the bullet holes from the .303s! That was totally lost in the original low-res video!

Oleg,

I know you are a very busy person, so I will keep it simple. To not answer this question at this time would be understandable for several reasons.

The quality looks fantastic in the video, especially considering that it is DirectX 9.

Can you tell everyone how much time until you receive the next NVIDIA graphics cards for testing with DirectX 11 and with them the next generation PhysX technology derived from PolyMorph Engine?

(You and I both know that they will be the best for Storm of War. )

Would a 6 core processor work fine with SOW. Something like an i7 980?

You obviously will only see shiny rivets and reflection off of raised surfaces when looking at an aircraft from a certain angle.

If I changed the time of day in the track then it'd look even closer to the Bf-110 shot.

This is all basic DX9.

Awesome pic, quick questions are those individual puffs of smoke at points of bullet impact? And the crews, is it me or is this bomber not returing fire (no gun tracking either)
Will crew members slump over when killed?

1. Yesm but should looks later a bit other way.
2. Not working in this aircraft yet. Under tunes.
3. Sould be by different way in different aircraft.

Oleg, will we be allowed to have different types of ammo, eg the usual .303 rounds for the spits and hurris, but also have the option to have de-wilde ammuniton in some guns, and incendiary tracer in others? Because pilots were allowed to customize the load-out in their guns, and it'd be a great feature for SoW!

Thanks for the bigger pic, Luthier! Great detail!

Sooooo.... as long as you're uploading hi-rez pics, it might help if you uploaded an HD version of the video too to stave off any other problems that people are having.
