Right now I am not using CEM, and look forward to getting into it eventually as well. I am mainly an offline flyer, don't know if I will get into the online thing or not - sounds like with this sim online is the way to go.

On my system the graphics look very good. I have tried both medium and high texture quality settings, and really don't see much of a performance difference between the two, so I am running it on the high setting.
I do get some stuttering when in the clouds, and if I am directly behind a plane I destroy and there is an explosion in front of me - other than that, it is very smooth and I am running around the mid to upper 40's fps wise.

I have to travel for work this week, but look forward to delving deeper into this sim when the weekend gets here. So far I am finally having a lot of fun with it.

not to burst your bubble, but; off-line play is broken for realism. CEM actually doesn't do anything, and guns do not shoot realistically. on-line play is much more better, as all those aforementioned work. gyro effects, ballistics. offline no.

Load-outs do not work in Single player.
I really hope some comes along and make single player work, and get single player realism working.
