Well, i have something better than a C64 hehe. I can play FB smoothly at exellent settings, so i hope i can fly KOE without much hickups as well. There don't seem to be any water shader effects or large mountains, which eat up the fps rate. It looks more or less like an fps friendly terrain, but these planes look like fps killers .

IIRC, Aspect did say that the requirements will not be steep. I would guess that if you can run FB smoothly, you will have no problems with KOE.
Hopefully it will be scaleable.

You may be able to get a GF 4 cheap these days. I 'll wait awhile after PCIexpress comes out before I switch

If your power supply will take it then 9800pro's are quite cheap now, as they were top of the line at one time the 9800 will always be a very powerfull card. It'll just lack the bleeding edge bells and whistles. The difference from your GF3 will be amazing. PCI express cards will be very expensive when they come out

The terrain looks better in the later set.
"Screenshots Added 14/06/2003:"Exactly a year(!) ago Aspect *already* had a good looking (IMO) version. Can't wait what the actual release will be like !!! Still, for me the campaing engine will make or break the sim.

So what can we do to eliminate these concerns? Shall we start another poll here titled: Who wants Aspect to give us more KOE feedback?Will this do us any good? Geez, will pondering the possibilites yea or nay make any difference in the scope of things? Anybody got some lottery money they want to use to grease Aspect up with? Money talks.....................and you know the rest of the saying...........

If I did, I'd dump it into Red Baron.
I agree with the posts here that we should relax and see what Aspect comes out with. Q4 would be great and they'd reap the holiday sales but an enduring sim is what I'm hoping for and I don't care WHEN. It's commendable if they don't release until ready, despite the pressure to profit ASAP.
We've got Red Baron looking good enough to hold us indefinitely or until Aspect trumps it. Hopefully they will. That near collision screenshot sure is great. I hope he already fired. Hex

RB3d is so dated looking by todays standards and what could be accomplished it's almost laughable to hear such a statement heard. Glide is dead, as are 256x256 sized textures and software rendered scenes. Embrace the new!

Look, everyone can understand why Aspect do not want to get into posting here in terms of saying what they are putting in, or inviting a wish list etc. But- They could post here saying that they are still "alive and kicking" and making progress:however they will not discuss details.
The absence of anything at all rightly leads to speculation as to whether there will be a sim at all. At the moment , I certainly am not holding my breath.

I'm happy to say I finally got to the point in my life where I realize there is such a thing as "good enough". Sure, there's always new exciting stuff but when one has something that works well enough and is affordable to boot, one can relax and quit chasing the future. Enjoy it when it arrives, but don't lose sleep over it.
Take it from a former type A personality who has never been happier. My Win 98SE T-bird 750 V3 512 K system is doing just fine with the ole Baron, thanks. Doesn't cost me a sou. I just wish I had time to play it more.
PS: That screenshot really is GREAT. I sincerely hope KoE is all that and more. If it is I'll probably upgrade my box with some of the $ I'm saving while we wait to see.
