What are your specs, what are your in game setting I bet good money that the problem lies there!

... I got win7 professional, Quad-core CPU, NVidia GTX570, 8GB RAM.
My CloD ingame graphics settings are all on medium.
Everything else runs with no problem on high settings, Skyrim, Crysis2 and other games that look graphically more impressive than CloD.

Thanks for your reply anyway

Even though the desastersoft campaigns are good, the overall sim is not!
Instead I`m flying ROF, a much better sim at the moment!

So, after they had talked me into flying again, we went on an escort mission to Ramsgate or so, escorting some 110s to their target. Over Ramsgate flak, exloding bombs on the ground and whatnot caused such a terrible lag that I had screenfreeze after screenfreeze (and I do not have an outdated PC) . It was so bad that continuing was no option anymore.

I dont know, but CloD has completely denatured my passion for WW2 flightsims. I really wonder what is going on in the heads of the guys at 1C Company. How can they expect that their sequel will sell, after such a poor performance and no major improvements more than a year after release of CloD. Only the fanboys will probably jump on the sequel as soon as available but they are not going to be enough to get overall big sales figures I guess.

this is what amazes me most of all about the latest graphics changes, the smoke balls, AA explosions, dust etc etc should be just 2D sprites - the fastet thing to do in graphics! ... yet in this game it's the slowest .. ?? why??? Does each sprite contact Oleg first to see how he's going before printing it to video memory ????

I'm not expert but have done some game development in the past

3. Poor FM's
4. Slow downs, dust particles/smoke and zooming in
5.Stutters (micro)
6. Flickering trees
7. Netcode (as I mainly play offline)
8. No Anti-Aliasing
9. Ridiculously hard to use in-game .avi creator with no manual to explain just how to use it effectively!
10. Just in-case you forgot since I mentioned it- Building pop up, incredible that a game released in 2011 cannot get this sorted when others make it look easy.
11. Loadout can't be changed on some aircraft (and even if you say it can...I can't do it!)
12. Basically no Single player content that is enjoyable due to "2. Crap AI" and the ridiculous response of the enemy when attacked. Either carries on regardless and gets shot up or does amazing impossible rolls until it thinks you aren't following anymore....and repeats until either dead or escapes

Unfortunatally this says everything I want to.

Basically got fed up with broken promises, backward steps and a very, very poor quality product that we were lied to about from the very start to this moment.
Uninstalled at the moment, and in truth not holding out much hope as I won't spend more money to either uprade from a system that plays any other current game just fine or on a dubious promise that fixes might be in a paid sequal.

This is another for me as well. I have to admit, if CLoD was not such a poor attempt, I would have never went looking for another flight sim, since I was never a huge fan of moderen combat airframes...but wow has DCS changed that.

This is another perfectly logical reason as well.

Ditto, was never interested in modern groundpounding/CAS/whatever during my IL-2 days, but then BS v1.0 came out and that was that, no looking back Not saying DCS doesn't have its share of problems though, it sure does, but their FM fidelity and systems modelling is still unsurpassed IMO! Where 1C gets / goes with BoM remains to be seen however, haven't bought CloD so won't feel swindled if BoM's good and I purchase it as a new customer...

Lol, me too. I'm now into KA 50Black Shark. It's great. I was extremely loyal to IL2 but have been more disappointed by the deceit week after week. The abuse people copped, in the last year, on this forum for asking questions about CloD has been disgraceful. The few idiots that felt they needed to contribute to the deceit moved a few people towards other sims.
I will still wait for a better product and hope it is achieved so there is more than 5 people online, in the afternoons, for us Aussies. I still believe it can be achieved.
The Moderators on this forum need to start banning those few who thought, and still think, that abusing people that are upset with the deceit is the way to save CloD. Just because they reach 2000 posts doesn't make them experts on what was happening behind the scenes...... now extremely obvious.
