Black death track 14413 test...

[RickRuski]

Hi pupaxx,
Your system is much more powerful than mine and it appears from the resolutions that you are running that you probably have a 24" monitor (mine is only 19" with a top of 1440 x 900 running @ 1280 x 960). from what I have read you wont need much AA when running at high resolutions as there won't be much notable difference. lowering the resolution from what I understand will give an improvement in fps at the expense of picture quality. Certainly if I turn AA on ( x2 ) I dont notice any diference in picture but there is a fps hit. The more of us that can share information on settings the better as it will help us all, especially if we can post system information as well. I can't even get "black death track" to run with any smoothness at all on my system (every thing is down at under 12--14fps). I do still have some micro stutters but certainly not enough to stop me enjoying this sim (mainly when down low over land).

Just wish "omgclod" would tell us if he has this sim and is having trouble, maybe we could take some of his frustration away by helping with his set up.

what is the "black death track'?

Hi oddball,

The "Black Death Track" is similar to the track of the same name found in the earlier Il2 series. It is a test to see how well your system will handle the graphic settings.

It can be found once you are into the game: -

Extras\Tracks\select

Once in there select"The Black Death.trk" then "Open".
It will then play as a recorded track

It is a standard that everyone can compare.It is repeatable every time.Hence you can judge the effect of changing settings.

It severely challenges the best of systems.So as long as everyone uses the same settings you can get a good idea of where you stand.
