Look guys,
Clearly there are a lot of points there and I can not say that this is a great programming work and everything is smooth as silk, only the HW is the thing that is ready yet and we have to wait for intel, AMD/ATI and NVidia to develop the proper hardware for our flight-sim.
Despite that, we waited for many years and finaly we got our simulation, with an amazing number of things incorporated based on a lot of input from many of us. I even believe a lot of us are surprised seeing how many things got inside this flight sim...
It is a hard core sim and it is A M A Z I NG!
And we should be happy that 1C is giving us so much support and are online fixing things with such speed. Yes, I am happy to have the game as is (I have two versions), had I waited for all the things to get ready I would probably have been waiting for another year...
It is becoming clear that GPUs with less than 1,5Gb RAM are immediately seeing the limit.
Some people proved that there are quick fixes to lower the immense and somewhat uncessesary load of graphics and luckily, the last patch managed to incorporate all that making the game very much playable.
Still there is no SLI (which should considerably improve things) but people try to fly at res 1600x and have demands both in terms of graphics quality and fps!
Well you can not have it all guys, let's moderate a bit the level of demands...
I can fly this game at 3840x but I fly only at 1280x because I want to keep my fps over 50. And sometimes reading the posts here, I have the feeling I fly the smallest resolution anybody ever tried in this forum! (have two 570GTX on my PC...)
1280x and I see my GPU RAM reaching 1200MB (max is 1280MB) so I know there is no need trying to go for more.
To cut the very long story short: Patience is required, if you want to dogfight online, the buildings have to go!!!!!
We had it in the past, when in trouble dive to the buildings (and pray the other guy is running on a 6800GTS...) I do not think it will ever change so I do not see the reason to complain.
Happy Flying!
