Hi guys! I'm another old simmer in my fifties who used to play the whole Falcon series. They were great and got me into simulators (you learned to live with the bugs).
I've been playing IL-2 since the Forgotten Battles and enjoyed that series even more, because it replayed our history. Moreover, reading the memoirs of aces from all sides and all theaters of the WW2 (
Emelianenko, Sakai, Boyington, Clostermann, Stanford-Tuck, Johnson, Wellum, Luukkanen, Wind, Rall and
Lipfert to name a few) and then playing those aerial combats in the sim was simply fascinating.
I'm now trying to learn the CEM whenever I do have time to play the sim. The fighters are easy, but fighting is difficult with temperature effects on. The bombers are a nightmare! Although I've followed the development of the CoD in these forums for years, I haven't contributed much (sorry). I've found the tips in the various threads quite useful. Thank you all, keep them coming!
In my rig the CoD runs very smooth with practically everything maxed (grass off). No stutters to speak of. I've never experienced any CTDs nor blue screens either.
