Uh, yeah. 1C does own the source code, after all.

I know, but they may not choose to work on it...

And that's their decision. Do you have something riding on the success of SoW?

No way SoW will be able to model size 14 shoes anyway!

All the best in your move Oleg, and remember not to leave your file server on the curb when your team is packing up all the office equipment!


Cheers!

that would be the highly edited taster version, right?

Some sort of trees in the pics look very poor, others quite good.

a charmer aren't you lad.

the terrain geometry is what particularly matters, not the textures. that's looking pretty exceptional, and i would imagine we are still being shown the game as-is from someone's average, non-super computer. if you've got the cash, and access to as-yet-not-developed processors and gpus, to drop on something that can play this as high res textures on everything... then you'll be able to complain if the textures are something to worry about.

all it'll need is a change from "low" to "very high" as soon as our computers catch up with it. remember all the bits and bobs built into il2 that you could barely use because it would make your machine weep?

No, of course not. But we've been waiting a long time for a sim of cinematic quality, so it'd be nice if this was achieved (I'm sure it can be too).
I'm not sure what you're problem is mate. You seem to enjot taking everything I say and picking it apart. Just chill out and enjoy these last few months before SoW. A lot can happen to the sim in this time so no fear
