That's one hell of a 'wessel' !

While there are no official specs, it's been strongly hinted that a machine that runs IL2 strongly should run SOW fairly well. I have supreme faith in Oleg's boys to write tight and smooth code. When I bought The first IL2 (the day of release) It was half the size of CFS2, had twice the features, half the bugs and looked better at higher framerates! (If I'm exaggerating, it's only because the experience was that good). I'm sure that a midrange machine will run it decently, and a top end machine will crank. I'm thinking of waiting for the six core chips to come down myself before I even consider a major overhaul, but I might go for a four core for my existing rig for the interim (more for ROF, and other games than anything).

.....And a chair to sit in and read and drink to boot! Happy, Happy, Mate!

Wow, that sounds like quite a pickle she's in!

LOL, Brando! I thought that looked far too nice for the work of an amateur. I have to ask how much of your career you have worked with half your original compliment of arms? I'm duly impressed with your skill, no matter what number of arms you have. Loverly work.

Yeah, It's odd how men deal with the horror they have had to face. I've talked to a man who as a young company commander is Vietnam lost 54 men in a single mission (one in which they rescued one man). His Father (A career Army officer) asked him one day if he still saw their faces, he replied "every single one" " It'll be okay son" the father replied "you'll make friends with them again, they don't hold it against you, you were all just doing your jobs" The man, now in his sixties, can sleep well knowing this. Everyone has their own method for dealing with it.

What's that bird in the second photo with the G-HELO markings? It looks like a very serious aircraft for civil duties!

BTW, ASAS You're welcome to join us on Wednesday, but we start like 1:00 AM your time, so it's a bit late! (we do get some European insomniacs from time to time though) Tue, Thur. and Sun. (+ the Sat Ubi Zoo session) might be more your speed.

Shit, Toad. Sounds like one of my hard luck stories! The good news is it usually works out in the end.

I'd wait for the new card too, mate. I recently bought a GTX 470, and there is little difference between it and the 4850 it replaced in IL2. I only upgraded because my 4850 croaked from all the abuse I lavished on it. While the 470 is a fine card, IL2 just can't use the extra horsepower. I hope SOW runs well on it. On the plus side ROF looks fantastic with the 470, but I'm now bottlenecking on the processor. It just goes to show you how demanding flight sims are, and how necessary a well balanced machine is.

You rock fruitbat! It was a hell of a lot of work to do those original files by hand, I'm glad you found an easier way. Where can IL2 toolbox be found? It's interesting that this works fine without the QMT_DF.txt file being updated, I guess I did a lot of work for nothing. Everything works well thus far, BTW. Have you noticed any trouble with the weapon loadouts? I had a hell of a time with that.

Impressive!, I'll have to add that one to my bucket list.

Wow, that sure is sweet!

I'm sure it would cause Andy's head to explode......which would absolutely ruin his cardigan sweater.

Dude, you joined the Danger Dogz. You are obviously not sane.

LOL! You can take the lumberjack out of the woods but you can't take the wood out of the lumberjack. I mean er........oh, what the hell, you figure it out.

Tanks for the tip Perf!

sounds like when I'm trying to get my hedge trimmer started in the spring!

I suppose that if we have x-ray vans roving the streets of the United States, then the terrorists have won an early victory (one among many). Time will tell if such measures have an upside.

Good stuff, your phone has a very nice camera!

Does it work? It's Russian! Of course it works! I mean, well the trim wheel sticks a bit, and the brakes are a little mushy, and you have to bang on the instrument panel to get the lights to work, but Hell, you had to do that when it was new.........and you have to pump the flaps up by hand, but did I mention it comes with fuzzy dice?

Poor guy was just upset over being dissed that way by the panel. He just needs a hug, and to be taken care of by the government for the rest of his life, and everything will be OK.

The King is dead, Long live the King!
