Friday 2010-10-22 Dev. update and Discussion

I think some posts regarding the system requirements are borderline fanatic. Why the panic? just try the game when it comes out with your current, modest (one GTX460, not good enough? really?) setup. We already know the system reqs. IMO, more than 1 core preferably, at least 2GB of ram and a 512MB direct x 9/10/11 GPU. Of course there are different groups of gamers here, some upgrade more frequently than others, some buy a brand new Alienware rig as soon as their long awaited game arrives whilst some are chugging along on almost outdated hardware. I guess I'm in between there somewhere, willing to upgrade some parts after evaluating the said games performance on my current hardware setup.

No real point of this post except for me being somewhat perplexed of the hardware upgrade mania that's going around. On the other hand, I'm starting to notice that very special pre-going gold tension/anticipation gaining momentum amongst many of us. I post like 10 il-2 posts/year since '00 so me posting as much as I've been lately means that anticipation must be on a high, oh what a wonderful feeling

I think Oleg said in one of his posts that he was waiting for SOW to be released before he upgraded his home computer. This is fairly good advice if your planning your upgrade cycle around SOW.

Moores law is good news for gamers and works to our advantage! Computers are just going to get more powerful and cheeper over time.

My recent upgraded have been to get other sim up to scratch on my system. Just have to wait and see what we'll need for SOW.

Cheers!
