This is my first day on these forums. I've been interested in SoW since I came across screen shots of the game several months ago. Sorry to be off subject but I was wondering if anyone could give me some direction as to how I might prepare for the game. I played Fighter Ace for about 10 years and I'm sure SoW will be much different.
Cheers

Hello, Khan and welcome to All Aircraft Simulations.
First, please allow me to show you our favorite simulation at this website, made by the same team - 1C: Maddox Games - who is developing the soon to be released Storm of War series. We love IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 with over 400 flyable aircraft, ships, ground attack, and dozens of maps covering many World War Two battle regions. The modding community for it is HUGE!
He is a screen capture of my flying in IL-2, created by the same team which will bring us Storm of War:

... and if you are in an area that allows YouTube on the InterNet, then this is a great example of the image quality of IL-2. (Highly recommend watching it.):

For enjoying great Storm of War image and performance of that simulation, owners will need a computer with a DirectX 11 graphics card in order to give it justice.
Whatever graphics card that you have now which was made at least in the last few years will run IL-2 nicely.
Mike, so what I recommend is that you start with IL-2. In a month or two, Storm of War will be released, but as huge as IL-2 is with many thousands of fans, (maybe more than a million?), I feel that it would be a shame to never try it, as beautiful as it is.
For about 10 USA Dollars, you can be having the fun that we do! That's less expensive than a night on the town and IL-2 will last!
Send a Private Message to me and I will give you the links for the information to get you started.
