That doesn't make a jot of difference to his comments

I am aware of that. However, the RAM limit which any program can use for itself is 2GB.

Oleg has stated on numerous occasions that he and his staff are deliberately working on medium to low end machines. This was a video they recorded elsewhere, so I presume that the rig in question had sufficient RAM, compared to the ones at Igomir 2010. The effects in that footage might not even be maxed out like in the rest of the YT videos shown around here.

Didn't many people here say that it needed a lot more time until hardware could handle IL-2 at full settings?

So I think there is lots of free space for Oleg to fill up with better graphics, more objects and features.

Do you know the settings of these videos ?

No, i don't know the settings of the videos.

But some guys said the settings of the game were pretty maxed out.

Watch the video again you will notice that the oil is moving. Pay attention to the oil behind the HUD and the oil in the top left windshield section. If you pause the video and kind of jump around the sections of the video the effect will be more apparent. You will see that the oil actually becomes more translucent as it moves around covering more surface area of the windshield.
