The graphics are almost photo quality and if some very talented individual can create worthy gun and engine sound mods, we are golden for the next five to 10 years.

You should overclock your cpu,mate of mine has a i7 930 also and he got it to 4.1

Turn off all 'allow application to decide' settings, and turn off AA in the game.
Mine's an i7 860 @ 2.8ghz, 6 gig ram and a 5770, so not 'uber'. I now get 20-25fps on Very High graphic settings, once I'm off the ground and away from all the grass!

My brother has a Core2 Duo E6850 @ 3.5ghz, 4 gig ram and a 4670, and gets 15fps over the sea on medium settings. Not good, but playable (just). His processor is only running at 30% capacity with the game running.
Give it a bit of time and a few patches and we'll all be raving about it.

The OP is correct, the game is absolutely Glorious.

So how do i Turn off all 'allow application to decide' settings,do i put it on override,or enhance?

I have to agree with you there. But also have to say that I've experienced easily the best dogfights of my virtual pilot career with CloD. When the core is fantastic, I trust that more content will come soon and for me it's just icing to the cake that already tastes delicious.

It already looks gorgeous, flies great, the dogfights are intense and mastering full real requires real skills. Now just finetune the performance, add a bit of more content, high quality community sound mod and it'll be epic!

Would have been interesting to see the bug tracker and the QA meetings when they handed out the golden copy. :-P

Right click on CCC icon and go through each of the 3D settings there is the easiest.
I'm at work now and can't remember exactly how many there are.

I don't remember seeing override or enhance when accessed this way, but you may have a different version.
Mine's the latest version downloaded from steam last week.
:)

Yes it is. I was very disappointed during the first week but now I am really enjoying it.

She's a diamond in the rough.

I'd agree if the radio commands would actually work. And the radio audio wasn't totally FUBAR'ed on my system. And if the loadout screen would actually work as intended. And if the quick mission generator would be totally overhauled. And the kill markings worked. And if the campaigns weren't such an utter disappointment. And if the autopilot would actually allow using the bombsights. And if dropping a bomb on a fuel storage container wouldn't level half a city. And if the sim had a decent weather system that didn't look like Il2 10 years ago. And if the tracks would actually work without freezing the sim. Or playing back wrong. And if it supported force feedback. And if it offered a least a handful of naval vessels. And had more options for grafics and realism settings. And actually had a decent documentation for every aircraft. And performance would improve to the point where I could actually enjoy the sim on my core i5 4GHZ system with 8 GB RAM and a GTX 470.

Oh, then it would be totally glorious.

Right now, it's merely nice. At least for me.

and TrackIR almost completely useless right now, glorious indeed

I have TrackIR 5 and have had no issues since the very first start up.

It definitely is buggy,I have it too and it 'pop's almost constantly when Im just trying to aim straight ahead, I press F12 to reset and has no effect, it doesn't seem to wanna let me look all the way behind me too, it just stops turning. It worked fine out of the box with DCS A10 and other sims, here it just doesn't seem to work well at all
