Thanks all, will give it a try...I cant see where I would have a bottleneck.I Oc'd my cpu to 3.5..thats just a hair above stock 3.3..got plenty of fast ram...and a decent hard drive I believe..if anyone can think of anything else should be doing...that could be creating a bottleneck..let me know please, I'll drop the textures down to high and see how that plays out for a while...thanks again..I agree..the 570 should be enough to run this game with my cpu/ram etc. I mean...heck, what kind of platform was the system originally built on anyway?

I would love to help but i know little about amd cpu's as i have always used intel. I looked at the specs on it and i cant see how it would bottleneck, plenty of cache, six cores..... hmm. try what blackdog was saying first otherwise when i had my Q8200 which i had clocked to 3.15ghz it still bottlenecked my 570. granted you have a better cpu, but use afterburner to check how the gpu usage fluctuates; when i had my bottleneck it would fluctuate between 70-99% like crazy, now with my i-5 it's pretty much a smooth line at 99%. good luck

Blimey mate,can't believe you think the latest patch has made the colour worse!it's superb,I live in the UK and I can assure you the colours are much more authentic now than the 'Telly Tubby' colours that addorned it before.

But hey,all to their own opinion eh?:confused:

yes JRB, each to their own opinion... its gone from "Telly Tubby" to "Telly Tubby" with a tawny veil (sepia) over the whole thing (the darkened trees are better though, as well, the new water/ shoreline treatment and with the brownier water, instead of the bright blue)

Actually, my colours are much worse too, water used to look like water, now it looks like a blue sheet, and all my fields look like they are on lowest and are just brown and greenish smudges.

=(

Thanks,,is AFTERBURNER an application? and if so..where do I find it? My other games..Crysis 2 with dx11...Red Orchestra heros of stalingrad..all play with all setting fully maxed beautifully...somehow I think its the game itself..but always like checking apps and seeing if there is a problem..thanks much

Found Afterburner...so its basically an overclocking feature for gpus...butI really dont want to "manually" adjust my gpu settings etc...does this program have a "self tune" for the various cards that adjusts the settings..core clock/shader/voltage/fan to a reasonable boost that is safe for the gpu? Just dont want to fry it..thanks..looks like a cool app...just always a bit skittish on overclocking where I fiddle with all the settings the my asus mobo has a nice tool that allows one to manually adjust everything..OR as I have done..I simply dial in the increased cpu from 3.3 to 3.5, and it adjusts everything itself..which..I prefer..as Im just not knowledgable to do it all manually.

Wow!
 

I got to admit I just leaved cliffs of dover alone for over 1 year now. I bought a new computer a few days ago and tried the latest patch (from this forum), and WOW I got say this is getting somewhere. The sound is awesome and the graphics and gameplay have improved a lot! Now it feels like it should.
The only thing remains is when you get close to the ground the micro stuttering is appearing. Its like lagging and "time-warping". But after a while it gets better. It seems like the problems start when you get closer to the ground and the graphic-engine struggels to get all that information fast out without stuttering.
Well keep up the good work. I am enjoying dogfights now high in the air :)
