Thanks for the comm BS.

Something is worring me : till the beginning it appeared that the game ran smoother on Windows Seven. XP is no longer supported (or not so far). Why devs are wasting time DX9 support ? Does it mean that the sequel would run DX9 ? hum... i really don't want a "Tetris" game.

Where i come from this is not how business is made so i guess its a mentality clash between Russia and the rest of the world...
And that is just sad since some of the best programmers come from Russia... :(
They've stated before. Work on the sequel is modelling and maps/missions. The engine is shared between both games (like Il2FB). Engine work will benefit both CoD and BoM and is being worked on by programmers. Modellers who make 3d models cant exactly try their hand and poking around in multiplayer code for example.

Hi the reason is simple. CLOD has writen in the BOX DX9 support. so every official patch for this product must support it, otherwise people who dont have DX10 compatible systems, have very strong grounds for suing 1c and ubisoft.

In my opinion the sequel shouldnt have DX9 support, that would stop that problem.

Are there really that many flight sim fans that have DX9 only GPU's?
Anybody trying to play COD on a DX9 only card needs help, i cant even imagine the way it would look after turning down the settings to get acceptable FPS.

i absolutly agree with you furbs. but you cant change rules in the middle of the game. Also the problem is not so much the GPU you use but rahter the OS you use.

Buy a DX10 or 11 GPU but cripple it with XP? come on...

You have no clue about programming, right? Why should the 3D modellers, or the mission programmers wait until the system core programming or the video engine is ready? He has a completely different work.

You'd be surprised at how many people still cling to xp claiming it is better. Why they want to stick in DX9 era is beyond me but there's plenty who do it seems.

I don't know for sure but I think a lot of people in Russia (their target audience) still run XP, which is why they still support it.

Not to mention this game was suppose to come out years ago, so when they started making it XP support would of been a must.

Keep pluggin away team I have many other games and sims to keep me busy, plus it's summer spend some time outside.
