Why are we worrying about whether or not current high end systems will be able to run this at full spec? Il-2 Sturmovik didn't meet that req at launch, and if anything it really increased the life span. Why are we hoping for something that will look like yesterday's news in 6 months? Wouldn't it be better if it was able to grow, or rather it's true potential be more revealed as our systems improved? Sturmovik looks damn fine for a decade old game. Why would we be hoping for a lesser offering from it's descendant? A lot of this pessimistic out look seems like sour grapes, or rather hoping for sour grapes.
Yeah, they released it before all features could be fully implemented because as they have said money has become a constraint, but also they have said they are very happy with what they are releasing. Would you take a project to the point that you were starving to ensure that there was absolutely no compromise even if you knew that you could sell it as is and be happy with what you put out, and full knowledge that you could improve it with the proceeds?
I have trust in Oleg's decision making because they have made the most comprehensive combat flight simulator in the past (after a decade of lesser attempts by other companies it still reigns supreme), and I fully expect this to be the second coming.
