S!
Caspar, I understand the spirit of consistency in the cockpits. But even in the stock game there is so much difference between them. Take Tempest which is a true work of art and then for example Bf109 or Mig-3 or IL-2. They are old and it shows, in fact they have not changed since beginning. So a souping up would do fine don't you think..and of course done within the IL-2 parameters.
As of games being sloppily programmed and using more resources and all that is a trend. Why bother optimizing when people can buy relatively cheap new hardware? And it is not very cost effective for a company to invest too much time in this kind of stuff. Oleg might be one of the few doing so, but he is in the toughest of all genres IMO: flight sims.
Realistically thinking you can not cater for everyone. An average computer today is above the minimum specs of IL-2. The very small minority might be in the low end just at the edge of running it. Again the superduper computers some enthusiasts have do not make IL-2 any better than it is..so seeing your point in this
Thanks for the replies TD, very much appreciated
