Friday 2010-10-29 Dev. update and Discussion

I'm liking that engine stall in the Hurricane, negative g cut out? The way the prop looks, idleing and then racing. Great.

Bummer about the implications for RAM, being a 32 bit user I suppose I'll have to sell a kid or two.

i7, 2GB and 460 is "such an inferior system"? A quad core and a good VGA? I don't think so, it's not even the "mainstream" system!

I'm glad 1C made a sim that runs beautifull in this kind of hardware, a VERY GOOD system, by the way! Just add more ram to be used by the massive map, etc.

Great software uses the resources, bad ones blame the same resources as "inferior". And I respect a company who makes compromises with look, performance and middle end systems: they are the best in the business!

Look at RoF visuals and performance and compare with this "beta" of SoW: another world!

Well, I agree with the point that an i5 with 2 gig and a nv460 is hardly a crappy rig.

On the other hand, I find that RoF visuals are not all that much lower, and the performance (i.e. fps) is much better... and that's on my E8400 + 2 gigs + 2X4850 with almost all the RoF eye candy on max.

Now these vids are a nice way to start the day.

So I guess my new system should handle BoB nicely:

i7 960
nvidia GTX 480
6GB RAM

Maybe since this event isn't over till the 6th there may be more cam vids floating around the internet.

HA! Ain't even gonna be able to run EAW on low settings with that one! Check this shirt out:


AMD Athlon II X3 425 2.70 GHz
Club3D ATi Radeon HD4670
4GB RAM
Coffeemaker
Parasol
Binoculars
....Bear!

Agreed. We're learning more about what went wrong. I think someone who was responsible to provide Oleg's team with computers is not flight-sim cognizant. It's not his fault.

Slightly OT (but not), that same entity apparently had no concept of head-tracking software. This is all pure speculation, of course.

Meanwhile, from the videos being posted, I believe the wait for SoW_BoB is well worth the wait. Congats to the Maddox team.

I don't think this is the best place to hand out TrackIR clips

[Flyby]

I see what you mean.
