This made all the difference for me, none of the tweaks worked it was unplayable until I rebooted, I can now at least fly 6 v 6 on medium, but only using an 8800gt so it's probably better than I expected, I like attacking bombers, you can at least kill the gunners although the planes themselves are hard to bring down with the .303's, still I'm having enough fun just reading all the new info in the forums to justify the $49au it cost, it reminds me of the early Il2 days.

Worth supporting just in case they get this right, because if they do it will blow Il2 away.

i have a brand new rig, six gigs of RAM, crossfire and solid state hard drive, but good lord the performance is terrible.

it is clear now that the decision not to show any gameplay over land in the lead up to release was a deliberate act of deception. the thing just locks up. complete slideshow.

on pausing random bits of code appear on the screen. there's horrid black lines running across the horizon. and to re-adjust your graphic settings you have to restart the game.

i just don't get it. i can play rise of flight with all settings maxed out and it runs like a dream. same for Arma 2. it looks to me that there must be a very basic problem with the coding. i fear the engine has fleas.


in short - i am terribly dissapointed. and this is from a paid up member of the oleg fanclub. a fanboi.

it is now clear to me why oleg shot through. he knew the game was nowhere near ready for release and was obviously embarrased.

i hope they work this out and soon. i really do. so wanted this game to be a success but if this does not improve in a hurry it will die.

Well we (I) did ask them many many times to show us 'in game' footage over land, and they avoided it at all costs, Im certain now that the leaked video was a marketing ploy, this game in its current state is simply not fit for purpose, I have not read one report where somebody is satisfied with what they have purchased. In short, a rip off.

Dude, why did you buy it then? I'm patiently waiting, enjoying massive online battles in IL2FB with my mates, eating popcorn drinking beer surfing the forums.

Thank god! After they get rid of the stutters and implement force feedback i'll buy it.
