Satisfied ?

I put it away for a while though I keep updating her with the latest official patches, checking if it`s flyable over Dover (currently it is not). I have shit hardware so no prob here, gonna build something better at the start of the next year so hopefully ClOD will be running bugfree at that time.

You should´ve added one option:

"I do not try to play anymore and wait till things get sorted out, meanwhile I get into the ME and skinning"
So I put it away, but use it anyhow and have some fun with other aspects of the software...

You're right, don't wanna change it now.

I tried to be as general as I could

I enjoy it, despite it's flaws, because it beats the socks off FSX anyways, exept for ILS and instrument flights, but thats boring anyway after it's learned. I have one A2A plane, P47, but after learning to fly it, it's even more frustrating to not have the ability to shoot with it.

Took CLOD off my machine yesterday and put on Tom Clancy HAWX, which I got free with my joystick. Now I just pretend that I spent the $50 on that cheap thrill instead of CLOD and everything is okay.

If it is easy to implement, maybe the developers could consider putting in texture compression. Most do not have vid cards with 1.5 GB of VRAM. That is atypical for gaming. All my other games run smooth as glass at decent resolutions with just 256 mb VRAM. Yet this game, at 640x480 and all settings toned down to barest of bare, when I run the tiger moth track(which is just one plane over land), I see pauses even though the frame rates, min, max and average are all above 30 fps. Also, I check youtube vids now and again and guys with the best systems and plenty of VRAM with high settings...I see that frame rates are decent, but I also notice only two or three planes in these videos...and I still see the pauses. So, that makes me not want to upgrade at this point in time. I need a lot more positive evidence before buying a new pc for this game, when my current pc suits me fine in every other way except for CLOD. Texture compression might be an interim solution for guys like me who are hesitant to invest in hardware at this point and have no reason to play CLOD otherwise.

I'm afraid to say that 256mb v-ram is nowhere near enough in today's gaming world.
My trusty old Nvidia 6800 GT had 256 mb v-ram, and that was back in 2004 - seven years ago.
You may get away playing a few console ports with such low v-ram, but in all honesty 1gb v-ram is about standard today. 512mb v-ram is about as low as you want to go nowadays.

to many things dont work or are missing.
ill revisit the game in a couple months mabey things will have improved by then.

Good poll (finally), thanks. Lots of work to be done but I'm not as pessimistic as some: Playing and enjoying it, despite the flaws.
