Ok, you're not having a dig, it's your honest opinion - no problem. But... what are you talking about? Are you talking about graphics on screenshots that are not at maximum settings? Whatever you're referring to, the graphics haven't been limited by the resources of the development team, they'll be limited by the capabilites of today's PCs. There's so much processing involved in a decent combat sim that the PCs will struggle. I think the graphics (when at the best settings) will be great, but when they hit the limit it will be due to PC power, not development resources.

Will have to wait for proper hd ingame vids on max settings to decide.
Its 2011,i know flight/gameplay will be great,just hoping gfx are up to scratch
to add to the immersion.just saying that if the dev team had a bigger budget/resources it could be the best looking combat/flight sim out there.
I know how much processing is involved but with quad core overclocked
processors and sli theres no excuse for poor fps/screen tearing etc.
anywho heres hoping for the best combat sim ever.

I'm sure they will be. But you won't be able to fairly compare graphics from a combat sim with those of a basic flight sim for example.

just saying that if the dev team had a bigger budget/resources it could be the best looking combat/flight sim out there.

I expect this will be the best looking combat sim out there as it is.

I think you'll find that limits are due to the PCs we own, not due to the size or budget of the development team. Some of us may have OC'd i7s and SLi, but the game also has to run on lower spec'ed machines too, which puts a limit on what can be included. If you read through all the update threads you'll see where Oleg has given examples of limitations imposed by PC power, such as 3D craters.

anywho heres hoping for the best combat sim ever.

Indeed. I have no doubts it will be.

Its noticeable in the screenies there are almost no walls/fences/hedges.
I can imagine adding them would be quite a lot of work.
Or would it just add too much more load to the graphics system?
What do you think?

Oleg awnsered that question himselfe a while back. Adding fences for ex. everywhere they should be would add an unreasenble amount of workload for the pc with with very little return in overall experiance (lets face it, when are u gonna see them). Im sure mission buliders can add them arround airfields and such (guessing) for example.

Just skimmed through the major PC magazine websites and ALL believe this is just another title in the IL-2 series with an updated 3D engine... Well done Ubi...

Squad mates not up to date had the same idea ... yet another expansion of the old Il2 Sturmovik.

A lot of people thought the same.But you cant complain in the forum,otherwise you are a silly whiner.People need to understand how much this sudden name change will affect the game sales.

Never has our community been so united as in our dislike of the game title. Just about everyone was happy with the idea of "from the makers of IL2".

Fortunately, of all the things that could disappoint us, the name is something I care the least about. I appreciate it could effect sales, and less may come to join us, but what can you do.
