S!

Just sprung to my mind. In IL-2 you can edit the file what the HUD displays(on the right), like Power %, flaps, radiator position etc. Can this be customised in SoW too?

Then beware of people pretending to work for nVidea...they might be SoW thieves!!

S!

Thank you. I edited power % etc. off my screen as I rely on the gauges I only keep overheat there and some others to keep playability. Sounds good SoW will be customisable as I prefer less stuff on screen and eyes more in cockpit to see what is going on

Oleg, with the ground-textures, will they be affected by the weather? It would be a lot for the game to handle, but would be great for dynamic campaigns.

oh, and a few of my mails may be sitting in that inbox, Oleg. Some of them may have more info for you; I can't remember.

Do you mean the changes in rain or in time depending of season of the year with smooth trasition?
No. it is possible to make on a small surface in some shooter or so..
So we wil have one the same looking map for the modelled period.

Later, with other version of the gameplay using this map for other periods of year and war is possible to load other(new, modified) map with changed and corresponding to that season textures, vegetables if is, looking by other way trees, etc.

S!

Used the mail How is ground modelled in SoW? As in many books pilots complain that when a grass field was used a lot it became dusty and during rain got soft and muddy. And are the grass fields smoother than in IL-2?

Oleg, one question, i don't know if it was already answered, will be in SOW a more complex movie player? i mean, we can go back, fast forward, pause, step by step ?
