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!

Yes. Not totally as you wish, but you may change from some various, that defined historically in orders to pilots + some additional variants.
Probably by this way.

Hi Oleg. Is there any possibility that you could allow head movement to be controlled by a joystick axis so that those who use Cachya or Freetrack or FaceAPI could use 6DOF head tracking without using the NaturalPoint interface?

Sounds great. Will we be able to change the load-out in each gun or just as a set? For example, could I just have tracer rounds in one gun?

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.
