But interesting is the frame rate they are getting.

Well if those pc's were running the game at an "ok" frame rate, I guess that is a huge improvement.So far the game seems to be really optimized to run on average computers.

Nice!!

Very, very promising. I can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy. I think I'll just slap a $150 quad core in my existing rig, it should run this fine. By the time they get the dynamic weather running, I should be able to afford a significant upgrade. I'm not really worried about the FPS at all, I'm sure 1200MB of frame buffer will do it, if it moves at all with 512.

At 11:02 the tail of that bomber is not properly modeled

I almost feel drowned.

Wow the end of that last video makes me feel reassured about how the game will run on my system. Seems that the frame rate choppiness over land is due to an underpowered video card for those settings. thanks for posting it.

Doubt it. That's CPU loading due to all the object updating (buildings mostly).

The more CPU MHz the better here. Luckily there seems to be enough options to dial down to acceptable framerates but don't expect to set a high object visibility range and get 60fps on even a good CPU I'm guessing.

Oh I have no illusions of being able to run this on high settings, but I also can now see that I will be able to run it at least moderately well even if it is at low settings.

damn plebians.

Resolutions make a huge difference - especially with AA, because the higher the res, the higher the AA cost at the same setting, if you go from like 1600x1080->1920x1200 and have 4x AA on its going to probably halve your framerate. Although it depends on many many factors (hardware, software etc), but think of stuff like AF and AA as a multiplier on your resolution.
