Because that, in my opinion, is the stealthy attempt to introduce pay-to-play even for offline games and I will most certainly not stuff my hard-earned € down some publisher's throat (not to mention that the marketing department would surely like to bombard me with tailor-made spam mails).

If SoW follows this trend then I have to bear the pain and not purchase it for I absolutely refuse to sign away my own rights as customer and PC admin.

Relax, take a deep breath. If Ubi were still the publishers AKA Nov 2006 announcement then I am sure Oleg would have no problem saying so

I have it on good authority that SoW:BoB is to be published by a joint company formed by British Petroleum, the Israeli Defence Force, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is clearly in safer hands there than at Ubi.

I hear that Maddox 1c company bought Volvo!

@ Oleg Maddox.

I have two questions.

1. is it final that on the instruments reflection theres no pilot to see (ghostflyer)?

2. Might be bit Off topic but in other thread noone recognized it or ...
Will the game support 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound?



Thx,

Hecke

I've been flying along the coast from Dover to Bembridge lately. I posted some photos on SimHQ before but I thought it couldn'd do any harm if I posted them here again

I'm not being facetious, but will you really hear a difference between having 5 speakers and having 7?
Why would you feel such a great need for having that difference as to ask the developer about it? Can you hear a difference?
Surely whatever sound we get will be recorded/synthesised/sampled in some way, in order to recreate an as original sound as possible. I can't possibly imagine this would be done in 7 channel sound, though I might be wrong.

Oleg, if you have recorded 7 channels of sound for each engine, please speak up!

I think his question has more to do with his hardware...if you have spent the money on a 7.1 set-up...you want to use it.

Seeing as how IL2 had multi speaker options I cannot see SoW getting less.
