2. Might be bit Off topic but in other thread noone recognized it or ...
Will the game support 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound?



Thx,

I'm not being facetious, but will you really hear a difference between having 5 speakers and having 7?
Why would you feel such a great need for having that difference as to ask the developer about it? Can you hear a difference?
Surely whatever sound we get will be recorded/synthesised/sampled in some way, in order to recreate an as original sound as possible. I can't possibly imagine this would be done in 7 channel sound, though I might be wrong.

Oleg, if you have recorded 7 channels of sound for each engine, please speak up!

I think his question has more to do with his hardware...if you have spent the money on a 7.1 set-up...you want to use it.

Seeing as how IL2 had multi speaker options I cannot see SoW getting less.

I am not worried about graphics, sound at all. I am more worried about better simulation and physics characteristics.

In my opinion immersion is first simulation and physics than graphics or sound. To me screenshots Oleg shows here are beyond my expectation about graphics, many complain about WIPs graphics. I do not worry about that!

I am interested in the new level of simulation SoW will bring us. Most interesting feature i read at the moment is about clickable cockpits and more complex control of your aircraft. Yes, this is a great advance.

Oleg can you bring us next updates some advances that sow ll allow at level of sim n physics?
