I run some of the most demanding games on the market without a hitch, and then, this game comes out and my hardware has become completely obsolete all of a sudden?

'Makes me sad, really.

I'll wait for the patch, yet I keep in mind what Fs-Phat told me. I'm not really keeping my hopes up on this one...
Some posters here think that the game is demanding because of its complexity: I might argue that "no texture's compression", "no preloaded damage models" (!!!) and many more issues here are a matter of alpha stage software.

The release? probably they ran out of budget, or somebody fled away with the cash...

I understand what you mean there, Manu. I hope you're right.

I mean... I wouln't die if I could not play this game, life goes on and there are lots of other decent sims on the market. I just liked the idea of having a HD cockpit and a "better" flight model to fly with, even if it meant fewer planes. Don't get me wrong, Il-46 is good-looking, sounds great (especially with mods like UPack) and is fun to fly with and I can still have lots of fun with it. With the DCS series too (I just love the excessively complex cockpit/avionics/armament systems, and it's a real treasure trove for an aerospace eng. student like me).

But, you know... I just liked the idea of having something one notch higher, just for the eye candy, fantastic lighting and knowing where each switch is and what it exactly does.
