Hey all, Im a long time lurker here at 1c' IL2 COD forums.
I would just like to thank everyone who has unknowingly helped me over the last few weeks as i have been getting my sim up and running. I have owned the game since day 1 but have only just got a rig that can run this beast (fingers crossed for the performance patch enabling me to hit MAX)...
Some of you might be pleased to know I have it running on almost high settings ON A LAPTOP! With an fps of 40 min (hedge skipping over london) and upto 120FPS on normal flight with a 1920x1080 screan this thing is beautiful... The only sacrifice i had to make was turning shadows off...

no ssao, and for everyday use i set textures to med along with med for ground and buildings detail.
Let me know what you think of my landing.
