We report on the development of a N-body/SPH code for galaxy interactions, with particular emphasis on SN feedback implementations. We show that current methods of SN feedback probably need simulations with > 105 – 106 gas particles per galactic disk to be able to realistically describe galactic fountains and superwinds.
