Sure the invisible trees is a pain but from Alt they look fine and in fact do a much better job than the handful of trees we have now that Kill FPS dramatically. Go back and read the patch notes. Trees = FPS Killer. I have several times the horse power now and the new trees don't really look at that much better and they Flicker to boot. Talk about nonesense.
Woot... Not that much of a Sim Killer IMO
Again not that much of a difference and at the cost of Performance. COD is a PIG right now.
Better planes... You mean the handful that are flyable? Sure the Models are nicer but not that much different than some of the latest fromt the Mod groups. The people are much better looking but again at what cost to performance?
Great for a shooter and Physics... Any CPU cycle spent on animating a Wheel over terrain is a waste of time. The game is just now becoming playable even on VERY high end rigs.
Like what specifically? The special effects are subtle at best. Heck the dang sound doesn't even work properly. Crappy IL2 sounds to boot.
You're right it is a joke at this stage of the game. I wouldn't even consider it to be a fully funtional a game yet. It's beta with many many things missing. QMB? There is more funtionality in IL2 QMB when it was released in 2001 than COD has here in 2011.
Take a look at DCS A10c. It's a DX9c game that is doing WAY more than IL2 COD which is a DX10 game and runs much nicer and it even has Cockpit shadows and HDR to boot. As I said before if you can have all that eye candy and it performs you have my attention. Right now COD is on my hard drive ready for the next few patches before I will look at it again. It's missing way too much content and it has a long way to go before I would consider it to be Viable. It's and early Beta. Guy salavating over the graphics need to go back and look at SAS and UP3.0 RC before they throw the baby out with the bath water. COD is not all that and a hand bag.

If you can't fly with great performance in your rig, maybe you must donate it to someone who can use a computer, sorry to say.
But I understand you: you are a fanboy of UP. I like the modpack, but I'm not blind and don't tell lies.
The funny part is you talking that IL-2 with mods looks good as CloD and when exposed to the obvious flaws in old IL-2 1946 engine you start with "apples and oranges"... Go do something usefull, please.
By the way, in my rig trees aren't "FPS killers" at all: I fly with forest = medium and all runs OK.
Tired of all this crap. People don't fly CloD and jump here to talk a lot of Bull#@$@.
