IMHO:
I saw both your threads and found out that you are kind of misleading people. Also, if your whole product is based on 32bit well sir blame bad planning, not ED. if you are Still on Planning phase and need that info, THEN I understand.
I'm sorry if a lot of people are being a bit rude (including me) but I gather that we cant seem to understand why you ask those questions nor the WAY that you do.
Hell I still have MSDOS running on a freaking old PC, and a still working COMMODORE 64 (pun intended).
I know what you are asking and really I don't like the idea of ED not throwing you, a developer for their thing, a bone. And in all case, trust them, if they are making that move... somethings behind it.
@topic, the way I can help you is:
-Check the trend indicated at VALVEs own hardware survey, there is a lot of information there and the most important I think is the 64 bit and OS trend, since there's a lot of non gaming pcs on it and wouldnt give you any clue with all those intel based gpus.
- Know your market, Welcome to ED and the simulator world. Not everyone here has the best pc nor the best or latest OS, and yet everyone has fairly good PC that is the minimum required to play this. It's been a while since 64 became the norm for all us simmers since we all know, think or believe that 64 will help improve performance and give us some of our precious FPS.
Bottom line: The few that are still holding on the waiting wagon, will make the jump once they are needed to do so. sooner or later, There is no argue in that. I know because I'm one of those that bought a whole new PC to be able to play this.
