Just tried the new iDeaS... it's wonderful! The improvements are definitely very nice, especially the sound which is now continuous, and the speed improvements can definitely be felt, too.
Multisample didn't work for me for some reason. I have a Nvidia GeForce 6600GT video card with 256MB video RAM, and upon choosing "Multisample" I get an error message "Your video card don't support this pixelformat: bpp:24 alpha:8 z:16 stencil:8 multisample 2x. Check your video card settings or driver". I tried installing a newer version of the NVIDIA driver, but it was no go. I'll try it on my laptop later and see if it'll work there. The 3D graphics still have the thin lines if I don't have FSAA enabled, although forcing FSAA through the driver settings still works nicely.
Other than that, very very nice! Keep up the great work, Lino!
