Best game I've ever owned. I can no longer get into playing IL2 1946 after COD. Sure there's problems, but it's worth it and the best thing is it will only get better. I remember not being able to play IL2 Sturmovik on my average PC when it was first came out.

Whatcha talkin` bout Willis? IL2 has been dead since 2007 when all the mod hell broke loose. But I do agree with the difficulties long after it hatched. As it turned out, I got a new pc in June 2002 and it was hard to run it on medium at anything more than 1024x768.

My specs :
Intel Quad Q6600@3.1 GHz
Powercolor Ati HD4870 512 MB RAM OCed by 7% (core + memory)
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
4GB RAM GEIL Black Dragon 800Hz
One case cooling 120mm
CPU cooling Zalman 9800Cu
ASUS P5Q Pro mainboard
HDD Samsung F3 1TB 16MB Cache

I take a very good care of what goes on in my disks. Games have their own partition and all the rest has its separate partition. Right now the partition where Steam is located has 84GB free HD space.
Never tried any beta patches, just updated once Steam said so. I have the Ubisoft intro enabled. I stick to the must-have processes in the background
I can`t put a screenshot of my settings, but I remember :
Resolution 1280x768,
Terrain detail medium,
buildings detail low,
buildings amount unlimited,
trees enabled,
roads enabled ,
grass disabled,
SSAO disabled,
AAx4,
models medium,
fullscreen enabled (pseudo fullscreen disabled)
texture detail medium.


Over sea 48-77 FPS, smooth regardless of aircraft numbers.
Over terrain 28-42 FPS also regardless.
Minimum fps I get when looking through revi at biggest cities.
0.2sec stutters from time to time only over terrain.
