Not at all. It's just about prioritisation (which would need to be done anyway because the sim is so future proofed). I have the most important things on as maximum, i.e. aircraft detail, damage effects, visual effects, buildings amount, shadows, and of course this is not including the FM, DM and other vastly improved things.

To say you're better off installing IL2 is just being overly pessimistic, and ignorant of the good things on offer.

Sorry, I most be swad by my English friend who is giving me the frame by frame account of how buggy and poor preforming the game really is. I guess maybe my point should be that the game should not have been released in this state and stop trying to dress up a turd...In its current state anyways.

Well, on my mediocre rig I just got 40 fps+ consistently in a squadron attack mission against 9 stukas who were bombing a coastal target. In fact it only dropped below that when I came in to land.

I am quite happy that this is playable, even at this early stage of release.

My rig is a quad core2 Q6600 (2.4GH) with 4MB system RAM, using a 64bit windows 7 OS, so not cutting edge anymore to say the least.

I hope not 4MB of RAM...LOL.

DCS A-10c was released as a beta and I just think Maddox's should have done the same. I know that doesn't change the state of the game but it at least tells the customer that this game is not near finished.

How much euros did people pay for this product? Is it more then $49.99?

That would be an idea for next time perhaps. Pre-order and with it you get a beta copy of the sim.

That said, it seems many people with low to medium systems are achieving their desired FPS with a whole lot of customization. A-10C had large differences in frame rates between the beta's and final release, so once this product gets optimized it should really move. From the video's i've seen, the sensation of flight is unlike anything I've seen in a sim, the atmosphere is also great. I actually want to freeflight where most combat sims I need to ack ack something.

Once the global release is complete, I think we'll see some expedited progress. As long as support continues, I will be happy. I don't mind buying something now to shelve it for a little while, or to help bug squash improving the return on my investment.

$50...people with 2+ years in Area 51 over on Fighter Ops forums have spent more than that. That project is going on 6 years now as well. (no ill will toward FO by the way, just saying).

As long as the support from the dev team is there, then I'll be cool and hand them may $50. Hope one thing on the list is a 64bit .exe

Oops, yeah.

4GB!

I must add that I have tweaked the sim using custom ini settings, so as Defender says, once the devs have optimised some more, I reckon this sim will really move well at high settings.

Its worth getting in beta form if you prefer high realism settings. The new CEM with independent heat management is a lot tougher as is precision gunnery.

I accept that some peeps will not be too impressed straight out of the box, especially the less computer savvy or arcade level players. Everyone has a right to an opinion - I have a low end system and don't regret buying.

Well i dont regret it, just its sad, i have middle range system, and even above water with low res and no clouds still very low fps/ very hard to control the plane in 10-15 frames per sec,is this why i bought brand new game?why they wrote in recommended specs complete b...s...?
