Running it on an IMAC with a Windows partition. Half a gig video card means pretty low settings--FPS around 15 over land, but I'm trying to massage more out of it.

One surprise--that there aren't more player generated missions and campaigns available, after a year. I really liked some of the old IL-2 campaigns--Battle of Britain, defending Henderson, the Norwegian campaign. Realize we have a limited map, but Rhubarbs, night interceptions? Wish I was experten enough to make them myself.

Going through my learning curve.

One glitch--the blue text for autopilot, gear, flaps, pitch, etc was there, has disappeared. Anybody know why? Is that text covered by a control option I might have hit by mistake?

Thanks for the help. S^ to all. Great to be back.

Hi Jungmann, so it does run on iMacs with a 512MB video card!
Some time ago I posted a query for a friend who has a similar setup but wasn't sure whether it would run on his machine, I'll pass him the info then, thanks. I take it you have the latest version of the patch, how bad are the graphics settings?
