Graphics engine from original IL2 utilised in CloD. So what hope for BoM?

Well, I might recall incorrectly since I haven't played the game recently. You say you don't notice any performance difference by flying on a smaller map? I'm looking forward to see what the sequel brings to the table in terms of performance improvements. One good thing about waiting for the sequel is that it will give me time to save up some dough for a new rig.
