Classic. You realise there's going to be a worldwide hardware shortage when everyone here rushes to the shops.

Same I suggest to all users really. Its why I still don't tell any specs.
Because I'm waiting myself to get it running very good at least at home .

Oh I see (surprised you didn't say before). For those of us who don't work in a software house it's difficult to picture the scenario. I can appreciate you wouldn't know for sure until you built a full version (with everything in it), and you don't need customers having a go at you in a few months when they find that the system you recommended isn't quite enough, but I would have guessed that with all the PCs used by the team, someone would have a good idea of what spec would be needed.

Same here. If the game play wasn't as good as IL2, all the graphics in the world isn't going to help. And if the game play is as good, or better, then we'll have an improved IL2 regardless of how far they've taken the graphics. Happy days.

I'd look at the water in IL2 when setting it up to run, but once I was flying online, I never really noticed it again. When flying a mission it's nice for things to look good, but you don't have time for pixel peeping.
