These kinda msgs are actually a bit funny.
This is not 'Angry Birds'. Flight sims are historically known to be the most hardware straining games out there.
And no, this will not run on your iphone either.
I build my gaming rigs specifically for flight sims. Why, because I love them.
For CLOD, Im running a 990x stocked at 3.65ghz, 12GB DDR3 1600 @ CAS 7, Killer Nic (on the mobo), a vertex 3 Sata III SSD, and twin EVGA GTX 590s
With that, and the graphics settings mostly on high.. @ 1920x1080 I can get about 40+ FPS most of the time. And thats on one graphics core.
I havnt seen any improvement setting the affinity mask to 63 yet.. so Im assuming that hasnt been tweaked. Plus I have three more graphics cores waiting for SLI support.
And yes, I built this rig just for the release of this sim. Yeah it was expensive, but new, cheap sandybridge packages should be able to produce pretty good results too.
Bottom line.. these things require power. If you cant feed it, don't complain.
Every new sim pushes hardware.. its supposed to.
The game perfect? No. lots to be done yet.. but Id rather have it out, getting used to the new game... than still be waiting.
I cant believe how bitchy people get. Its not like this is vaporware, or that they don't support their product. They always have and I see this being no different. They work hard and are proud of what they produce, so its only a matter of time till things get ironed out.
The shelf life of this one, Im hoping is going to be another good 10 years. So.. CHILL OUT.
Ive already been very impressed with what Ive seen as improvements over IL2 46. not just the great graphics and lighting but A lot more realism as far as what aircraft CAN do.
(no more attempting to turn and burn in a 109) and so on.
Me. Happy.
