come on i have a I7 950 ....and a 5970 2 gig cart and and 8 gig ram on board .

if that is not good enough than 90 % of the CLOD user cant run this game .

by the way i did reinstall the game complete but it still give me stutters over ground .

What resolution are you using with that 27" monitor?

[Robin2k7]

uhm 1920x1080 ....like my monitor resolution .

is that good ore do i need to turn that down ?

No no I was just thinking of the obvious. If it's native res was 2560x1440 it might be worth trying lower. Plenty of people run at 1920 though.

OK rgr that ....the reason i post this tread in the first place is that i really start worried about the code of this game .

i don't think they can fix these problems unless they really start over again .

and i know i am not a programmer but i think they cant fix it .

its just a feeling but i hope i am wrong !!

I really get baffled to be honest with you all. I have a mid-range PC that's two years old and it runs fine with most settings on medium, building detail on low, aircraft and land shading on high, SSAO off, grass roads and shadows on at my native 1680x1050. And i only have 3GB of RAM.


I'm not saying people with monster rigs shouldn't expect the relevant performance, i just don't know how they don't get it when a lot of people reach acceptable performance with similar or lesser PC specs.

As for my previous post, a lot of the complaints come in the nature of "i can't max it out on my two year old PC" which is just unreasonable to expect. It's these that i was referring to previously.

I don't know, seeing how it runs on my system it does give me a very optimistic attitude that it will be running fine for everyone pretty soon in flight sim terms (within the following 2-6 months i'd say).

I think this is the sim's main problem currently, it's a bit inconsistent so people can't easily draw conclusions.

[Robin2k7]

yes back dog you might be right but i do think i have a high end system but there is more .

we all saw it before in other treads is that weird CPU thing ....it run on 15% max and fore what some reason it does not make use of the processor fore the full capacity .

I'm just as baffled as Blackdog as I can't understand why mine runs so well. I never said my rig was the most powerful I said it runs it well, I can only recommend it. I think I'm seeing a pattern with guys that have top end rigs but are suffering, they all seem to have ATi cards.

I play the game with almost everything set on full/high, I have a CRT monitor so my native resolution is 'only' 1280x1024 (IIRC I'm not currently on it)

I'd say the only bad graphical issues I encounter, are the occasional flashing cloud and odd shadow effects on the ground. Once a week I'll have a brief stutter. All these things never will bother me and are so infrequent that they aren't worth noticing. The great graphics FM and DM far outweigh any of this.

Maybe I'm really lucky with buying the right hardware, or maybe I'm not as hard to please as some?

[Robin2k7]

yes i heard indeed that a G-force cart is doing better jobs than ATI . still i don't want to trow away a 400 euro Video cart only because they might think it perform less in CLOD .

i keep saying it ....sound , graphic (terrain) , stutters over ground really need lots of improvement .
those patches made some changes but not a lot . dont ask me why .

the look in the cockpit is amazing and over water i don't experience any problem .

so fore now to run it smooth i stick to the water (not in it i hope) haha

[Robin2k7]

its so strange sometime i do 60fps and on the same place suddenly it drops to 20 ...i really wounder what is going on hahaha !!
