And fine, it's not exactly a low-end machine, it's a mid-range machine with an old video card.

I'm assuming you're all so eager to ask about my crappy machine because you're going to run BoB on an older weaker setup. To put things in perspective though, the original Il-2 when it was just released coudn't do 60 FPS at max settings even on the most bleeding-edge machine of the day. We are magicians here, but we do need proper equipment for our magic.

I'm sitting in a deck-chair just outside an airfield's OPS room somewhere in England, looking through specs of new computers, waiting for that phone call from Oleg to SCRAMBLE!!!! I know it will be 64bit OS and probably a ATI card but do i go desktop again or laptop? or even tablet???? .. waiting and watching that phone! ... RING!! RING!! .. AK!(tense) .. head pops out "tea's up!" ... PPTTTtttttttttt!!! <~~~

BTW, those He111 and Condor look great!

Srry for going off topic

Dear Pilots,

Would you mind to open a specific topic, say "1940, Invasion of Britain: a dream or a fraud?" ??????? Am I eccentric, or we have a couple of pages of OT's?

This thread is about the screenshots posted last Friday, in case you didn't notice it. I hate so much to crawl pages of nonsense to find an interesting answer by Oleg ....

Admins, hellooooo?

I had a posting up last night making a point of all the off topic postings.

THought it sounded a bit harsh so I took it down.

Like you mentioned.. the topic for this thread is:

Friday 2010-06-25 Dev. update and Discussion Thread

Postings should relate to this, and not become history lessons or other discussion.

History lessons and other discussions that are IL2 or SOW related can be done with new threads on this forums.

I don't think Oleg pays much attention to an update/discussion thread after the first day, because all the previous threads have turned into OT mumbo jumbo after a couple days.

Create your own thread, but don't denigrate the quality of an existing thread with OT postings.

I didn't think it was harsh at all. Like others here, I get annoyed with people who can't stay on-topic and derail threads such as this one.

More fantastic screenshots, many thanks, always look forward to the Friday updates.

Still no official website or release date...and it's 1st July today..2010 is slipping away...

As for the invasion discussions, I think the most important point is that we British really thought that there would be an invasion if we didn't win the Battle Of Britain..there was no Eastern Front and Germany and Russia were allies.

Moving onto propellers, does anyone know facts/figures of how many RAF Spits and Hurris had the constant speed prop in BoB? I'm re-reading books about Bader, Stanford-Tuck, Lacey etc.. looks like most if not all had it?

Aslo it seems many also had a floating carb device to allow negative 'G' without engine starving of fuel fitted during the battle - facts/figures? - and will this be modelled in SoW:BoB or ?
( sorry if it's been discussed before..! )

See you all at Flying Legends on the 10th ??!!??!!

Take some good pictures or video. Then post them.

It is always a big treat to view them.
