Default good luck!

Hi Tuckie,
I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in your test results since IL2 can only benefit from higher core speeds and not multiple cores (sort of). I mention the flak and the parachutes because, like your examples of the (lots of) sub-munition cluster bombs, and smoking cities, these effects are an immersion factor in some cases. For instance, I found that I had to turn down the flak from naval vessels to far less than what I've seen shown in documentary films just to have decent frame rates. It was almost to the point where flak gave one a pass as he nosed over in a dive on a ship, or made a torpedo run. Not very immersive imo. Naval flak from a combat naval fleet was heavier than could be represented. This low-performance feature took away from the suspension of disbelief. Again, imo. So, with multiple cores handling some of the crap running in the background perhaps one core at 3.3ghz (as you use) might be able to resore a bit of what's lacking in those scenarios. hmmm...
