Certainly time will tell. I don't have a problem with Ubi advertising DX11, as the game engine is capablable of using DX11, its just delayed until Microsoft and Maddox games can work out the problems with the unstable API.

Nonsense. This is before the drainage works were carried out around the North and South Circular. You're probably too young to remember.
The square bit is Brent Cross.

Thx for clearing that up.

I thought that map was based on artificial islands made by the British to confuse German bomber crews and send them flying in the wrong direction or drop the bombs in the middle of that big ring.

Guess i was wrong.

What an utter and complete noncense! Back in 1941 Göring ordered Luftwaffe to bomb England to squares and circles. Humble airmen of the Luftwaffe had to obey and they did their job as good as they could. This video is the evidence of marvellous success and what Allieds tried to hide as war secret later on.

Its an issue with the dev team working with the API, not the API itself which is praised as far better then dx10 which it was based off.

If you buy a game advertising dx11 play on the box legally it has to be dx11 when you play it, adding a feature later entails that the advertising has to say that it will be added later or that conditions apply.

Otherwise its false advertising, irrespective of the product.

It says this:-

New 3D engine – Latest-gen graphics engine with DX10 and DX11 API support. Huge variety of photorealistic ground vehicles, buildings and other environmental elements recreate minute details of 1940s Europe.

and also this:-

Advanced physics – wind, lift, turbulences, rain, fog… Feel the air rush on your wings as you push your aircraft to the limits in epic dogfights. See your fuselage torn to pieces while every single enemy bullets ballistic and damages is calculated.
