Heh, wouldn't hurt. A few links to the forums would be helpful.
Most common complaint for newcomers is "the psychedelic instrument panel" (turn epilepsy filter to OFF). Stutters can be reduced by disabling Desktop Composition in the launcher.exe properties. Frame rates greatly boosted by turning off certain features in the sim's Options/Video menu, and turning other features down. Spitfire/Hurricane mirrors toggled to "OFF" in-game will yield many systems a jaw-dropping 10-15 fps increase, etc etc etc
Probably should have a sticky in each forum: "Before starting CoD for the first time, read this and FREAKING DO WHAT IT SAYS!" Many of us have got CoD running very well (per the many YouTube videos), but a lot of tweaking and head scratching came first for lots of us.
I have to think future patches will address this. Firing up a new sim should give you an "Aha - moment"; not a "WTF! - nightmare". LOL
