It's an established brand name so it could make sense sticking to it. And with any luck it's a sign that Ubi is no longer involved (fingers crossed).

BTW have these two pics shown up before? Don't remember seeing them in an update...

I think they are new.

I'm not too happy about the propeller blur, which is exactly like the bad looking 'radial blur' in Photoshop.

Like this:

IIRC, and Oleg has said so himself (and we have seen it on the shots) that the prop won't look anything like this in the game. Only when you pause the game you will get a situation like this - as if it was taken by a camera.

Which is great, as I hate this kind of unreal propeller look - like many mods have it nowadays.

If I am not mistaking, we should be able to set the shutter speed ourselves and change this option in the game - what happens when we hit pause.

A release in 2011 is NOT OK for me.

SoW is become more and more a neverending story like HALO, Duke Nukem Forever or Stalker. On the one hand, i can understand Oleg. He wants to make the simulation perfect. But on the other hand the wishes of the community are sometimes disgusting (different facial expressions or wind shear in perfection).

Sure Oleg could model some motion captured snails at the runway at last...

I am very disappointed about the promises of Oleg. "SoW will have thousands of players until october 2010..bla bla bla..."

Let's hope so, by goodness!

ASUS Sabertooth mobo
SSD for the OS and Flying software (IL-2, FSX, SOW)
700w Storm PSU (cos i have one in the cupboard)
plus a couple of HDDs for other stuff

If that doesn't run SoW which has been in development for 7+ years(?) then I won't bother buying it.

Obviously an i7 is not going to be a problem - but what would be nice, is to have a better understanding of the game's use of Physx and Tesselation, and whether it matters if we go nvidia or amd (ATI). Obviously both will work, but it could, for example, make good use of features that one card is better at.

Why are you going for a 5870, is that 2nd hand? It seems the new 6xxx series may be better value.

Nope, that's another lost soul with his torch out

I am willing to wait as long as the game is in final state when released. I'm fed up with 'half-done' titles being released every day now for the past few years. So, in a big NO I don't agree with you. If the had the chance to released in 2010 and decided to polish it up more before release - I welcome the decision wholeheartedly.

Oleg confirmed there will be a x64 exe. On a similar note - DCS A-10C is a x64 sim, first ever released. So my bet is that with SoW we will have similar support, for both x32 and x 64.
