Yes it's a high end PC. But then the game is just out, not yet fully optimised, and I'm running it set to Very High settings. The fact is that a game like this is very very demanding and while the dev team would like it to work on lower PCs too, the reality is that not only is an accurate flight sim very demanding, but we want this sim to be great still in 5 or 10 years time, when my PC will be obsolete.

If we wanted this game to run smoothly at max settings on slower PCs, they'd have had to make sacrifices in graphics or flight/damage modelling etc, and I'd rather they didn't. Hopefully people with lower spec'd machines will be able to reduce certain settings, tweak a bit, and with a couple of patches have a great sim that will be ready to get even better when they next upgrade theiur PC.

And you are only getting 30 fps? And performance is OK?

Yes, as I said the game isn't fully optimised yet, and I haven't tweaked the settings at all.

Trying running Crysis 2 with that rig and tell me if performance is, duh, ok.

Crysis has nothing to do with it, it's so far from comparable I don't know where to start. Let's try a fairer comparison - how does this compare with another flight sim that has the detail and complexity of this one - no wait, there isn't one is there. And there won't be one next year will there.
