Well I'm loving it

Come on, people... How can you compare this with Crysis? A flagship title with some major backing behind it versus an enthusiast-only niche game like this? Crysis 2 probably cost millions to develop and had some serious resource behind it. You can't compare the two. If you have a problem with Crysis, does the lead designer answer your questions? Will they be adding free models and updates for the next ten years? Probably a big fat NO on either question.

In this day and age where "DLC" is the main watchword for the gaming industry and actually getting something FREE is almost unheard of, Luthier has already said there will be FREE extra planes to fly. Do you get that with Crysis? Quite frankly, if 1C wanted to charge for a major flyables update, then fine by me. And if 1C had pushed the release back to the summer to fix the issues, how much extra whining would there have been? Luthier has already said this morning that they are fixing things, so lay off it and take a breather.

Crysis 2 was made by 250 people and shit loads of money. Secondly, the first Crysis was a hog back then and very few could run it with everything on max.

I just don't get the whining. All i see is a load of damaged hardware egos. Yes there are issues but we all know it.
The whining doesn't do anything good for us or for them. Let Luthier and his team work it out. Report bugs in a normal manor so they can fix them.

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.
