...the Hun in the sun...

BoB II 2.11?... Dammit, my machine can hardly handle it, that's why I prefer the IL2-1946, but I appreciate the amount of work performed in order to take the sim up to the heights of the current version which is, as we can clearly see in you screenies, quite impressive.

Nice!...

I have a 3 year old machine too...I find the biggest performance killers are the autogen trees. I just dial these back. I'd rather see hundreds of aircraft than hundreds of trees any day!

I flew along the Thames river and when I got near Tower Bridge it became a slide show. Looks ok in screen shots but not so good in real time.

Not sure what could be causing that. Mine is a core 2 duo 3GHz with 2GB RAM and a GForce 9600 with 500MB RAM. I run the landscape at medium settings and the aircraft and weather at high.

When I am low down in London it runs pretty well as seen at time 2:25 to 2:50 here where I fly through Tower Bridge.



(Mind you, I clipped the video before I ploughed into a barge! )

Not osram's fault. He did a fine job figuring out how to pay with autogen.

Agree, not a criticism at all. And the number/type of trees can be user defined so that is great. I think as typical with the myriad of PC setups, each is different and I find for mine keeping particle size to medium, putting horizon to medium and reducing autogen trees lets me run everything else maxed. When I do videos I also use a version of the Multiskins mod which includes all the fighter skins, but not the bombers. I find that implementing the hundreds of bomber skins too slows my machine down about 5 fps in furballs, so I'd rather sacrifice the bomber skins. But that's the beauty of the sim, you can scale it up or back as you wish...thanks to people like Osram!
