Wodin, just like phase 1 of OFF about 10 years ago, WOTR has some great features that set it apart from other sims, but its going to take time and multiple phases to get the polish that WOFF UE has now. We are now spoiled with UE. In time, we will be with WOTR also.

I agree with Wodin and Nowi. We need skins it is an immersion killer. Looking about in 109 14 and seeing everyone else marked # 13 is a bummer. or the same marking on the enemy a/c makes ya think But I already shot him down 2 or 3 times. Another small other thing is in the campaign Convoys of 4 ships with all 4 ships sunk what happen to the misses ? this was from HE 111's ( I think ) at low level. I wonder if they were used at low level ? during that time frame. I am having fun with the game and enjoy the Sounds. On a diffent point , I didnt see any chutes except for my own when I bailed. Are there any ? I think at a de-brief they always asked if a pilot saw chutes. last other things: Since the battle is on a smaller scale then say BoB II couldnt it be scaled down to say a Section scramble of 6 instead of a full 12 a/c sgn ? ( 6 against 12 ? ( 2 to 1 odds ) or even a section of 3 ? ( 3 against 12 e/a = 4 to 1 ) Frame rate: I just turn down the settings, Clouds ect. and it came back up to 15-60.

Exceptions notwithstanding, He-111s would not usually have attached convoys at low level in daylight. The July convoy attacks were generally made by 'Papa' Fink's Do17Zs (at medium level) and Stukas. The Lufwaffe did not have a real anti-shipping capability in 1940. KG26 (He-111s) was probably the closest to that, then (early in the war, one of their birds sank at least one German destroyer in the North Sea on a mining run, from low level with bombs at night). The big He-115 floatplanes were the only ones that could and/or did carry torps in 1940, IIRC. Your 4 out of 4 sunk, they must have been using laser-guided bombs, even Fritz X would not have had that strike rate

Try custom setting, from the WOTR FAQ section 13: For optimum FPS you can see Terrain Quality 6 (custom) then set Custom Terrain settings to 5,2,3 (or 5,2,4) and turn off VSync in your GPU setting and in WOTR Graphics Settings. This will reduce the quality of visuals but give high FPS. You can try lower of course. If you see no shadows then check the shader settings in Graphic options, there are definitely shadows, as you see in cockpit etc, but no upper wing and wires

Hmm, not sure how to relate to "grinds to a halt". Please check my system specs below. I am still evaluating. Flying the 109 - Not sure how big a furball yet, two flight of five or six friendly planes, some friendly bombers and some enemy. I have been running MSI Afterburner to monitor performance. So far neither my GPU or CPU are being used 100%. GPU is 80% range, when running WOTR, multiple Cores are in use and none are being used to 100%
At my resolution 7780x1440 I was getting 30+ FPS out of the box. I have been playing with the Terrain and now get 50FPS or so.
Understanding optimization is still a work in progress.

The problem for me is that I'm flying the 303 campaign which has me flying near London. I've been tweaking things, but I notice at the start of a major engagement near London I'll get a slide show frame rate until some planes die and lessen the strain on the system. Most of the time I'm humming along at 50 to 60 fps, then at the beginning of the shooting, it drops to 8fps. Then it improves as the combat spreads out. I suspect that having large amounts of planes in the air is just not supported at the moment. All the scenery tweaking was minimal, what really helped was the switching the campaign setting from medium aircraft in the skies to light (Heavy is greyed out like the DX11 Graphics option). I feel like more work needs to done to get maximum aircraft in the air and maintain 60 fps. With the dx9 heavy loaded CPU, it just feels like my system is a ship towing an anchor no matter what I do.
I'd like to see the DX11 and optimization take a top priority more than just more flyable aircraft so we can use the heavy option and crank up the scenery to max with 50fps over London and recreate eagle day or the blitz. That's where this sim will really shine and be second to none. Having a blast with the campaign so far though in spite of having to dial everything down.

Yes we recommend Light that's the is the default setting, and as things progress we can enable medium and one day we can enable heavy There's a lot of stuff going on over London, you can also reduce the scenery which will help some too and look a bit less like London. No free lunch of course. Al things add take fps aircraft, AI, scenery, objects, shadows etc etc. Airfields complexity, forestes complexity there's other tihngs to help. Turn off HUD Labels, Z key etc helps too. Try 523 on custom terrain 6
