It is strange that the game functions on my below par laptop with details med-high frame rates averaging about 25fps (spec in sig - optimised by me) over london, anwhere. It looks great and plays well. Sure I can stress it right out with a few cloud layers etc.. but otherwise it goes really well. I have experienced bugs with sound cutting out, sounds cutting each other out, crackling etc... but very infrequently and usually when viewing tracks. I shall have a go online today to see if it happens there. The UI is fairly sparse and uninspiring, much like the last in the series but this I don't mind. I've clocked up 80+ hrs in steam just playing with the Blenheim IV with its touchy motors it is a very satsfying machine to fly. I have briefly looked through the others though not in much depth yet, but I'd say the BF109 is the scariest on take off, followed by the Spit. The flight model in this game seems to be every bit as delicate as DCS-A10c - both give a very good 'feeling' of actually flying an aircraft, just like Grand Prix Legends gives a very good feel for a 3.5L V8 open wheeler screeching round a track. I sympathise with people having problems I bought Silent Hunter 5 from UBIsoft last year now that was truly a waste of money, the dev team was split after 2 patches. Modders have worked magic and saved it, just, but not for me. However, 'waste of money' threads etc.. are antagonistic to your cause. ranting and raving will not help either the devs work or their attitude towards you. proper non-emotive descriptions of bugs/hardware/software env/etc.. is what the devs need. What all you doomsayers need is a bit of patience. Still, freedom of expression and all that (mind you this is an internet forum not the Geneva convention) yes if people want to complain that is their right, let me just say, here's some cheese :-
to go with your whine....
