Thanks, MP.

Proabbly it is possible only in single historical miossions or campaigh that merged from such single missions. We did such thing in original Il-2 where each mission was with exact time, weather of that day and situations.

Well I hope Oleg does not have rivers that flow over a hill and not through it Could just be an optical illusion though

[Antoninus]

There are lot of rivers that fly over hills in FSX, but usually not in handmade high detail scenery. Thats the drawback of having a global scenery. FSX creates the landscape from mesh, landclass and vector data such as roads or rivers. If the coordinates don't match well enough you get stuff like that.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 no longer support sound card hardware acceleration for DirectSound3D but do support hardware acceleration with OpenAL.

I wanted to know the same thing And is there going to be 64 bit Suport (64 bit .exe) so the game can make use of more than 2GB of System Memory etc. under a 64 bit OS?

Im building a new Rig and selling the components of my old one so i was hoping for an awnser to this so i know if i should hang on to my Soundblaster X-Fi or sell it also.

Oleg posted in the past few days stating that 3gb would be minimum (I think), maybe even moved up to 4gb. That will definitely means that 64bit is OK, maybe almost a must.
