Sorry about the crappy quality....must try harder.



i7 930 @ 4 ghz
6 gigs RAM
ATi HD5870
Win-7 64
And i'm a Libra.

CoD settings are as far as I can tell medium all round....(hard to be sure). No idea what the grey box is nor how to get rid of it; i'm open to suggestions.

Believe me when I say this, the low res of the video flatters the true nature. Regardless of whom or what is to blame CoD has been released in a shockingly bad state.

Also, the voices you can hear in the background is the Ricky Gervais podcast....told you i'm new at this. Some more vids on the way.

The boxes had me fooled for some time as well, lol

right click it and you should see 2 options. click on the second choice and it should go away. I forget if you need to hold down the alt key as well. Clicking on the alt key and left clicking the mouse will make that chat box go away as well.

Care to elaborate? The video does indeed look and sound promising.

From what I've seen so far, the game might be playable... IF...

1. Your rig is amazing.
2. You only want to fly around the countryside or ocean by yourself.
3. You want to dogfight 1v1.

Is that reasonably accurate? confused


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

Yep - that's pretty much it so far.

It's enjoyable, it just can't yet cope with many planes doing stuff. 5 vs 5 is ok in fighters.

Quite a good sensation of speed down low compared to IL-2, IMO. The landscape is more "3D-looking" than IL-2, which I think adds to the sensation.


Check out HardBall's Aircraft Viewer. "This is an invaluable asset for all IL-2 aficionados", PC Pilot Magazine, May 2006.

Nice vid mate, not boring at all! i did not notice any real popup issues there which people were getting their knickers in a twist about smile how was it for stuttering, obviously we can see a few in the vid, but were they much worse when actually playing? i loved the sound by the way, very nice!

Cheers

The problem with the World is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

G-50 on high visual settings (i'm 90% sure)

Ground collisions and complex engine are off.

The instruments don't work.

Is that offline FF, it would likely run better online with no AI.

Yes, offline - not been brave enough to put my epilepsy-prone Western hide online just yet. smile

I guess it might help without AI, but no sign of any Server .exe's yet - I just looked...

It because it's blurred it looks OK. Seeing it in the flesh it looks pretty rough (the landscape I mean......cockpits are lovely)

Yeah, in it's current form it's definately a Beta.

As I mentioned the blurriness hides the rough edges. The pop-up is fairly horrific and the tree shadows flicker like crazy. If you fancy some low-level sight-seeing then IL-2 on 'perfect' is the nicer experience. The whole landscape is acid green and the trees are everywhere....there's far too many of them and there's very little variation.

Stuttering isn't too bad once you've got some terrain in memory (or over sea) but it's still there and anything new that comes into view usually causes a stutter. As for the sound it's a mixed bag. If you listen to the Blenheim's engine while at high revs you'll notice the volume going down as the pitch goes up. And vice versa. Weird effect.

Are you finding it as bad as some people have made out?

Thanks for youe time
