I just built my new Rig, so I am once again finally back into flight simming (FLYING) CloD, and RoF....after 18 months away from it with an old Rig that couldn't work at all with teh new gen sims.
Re-installed ClOD from Steam, RoF from RoF, on to new Rig.
Set ALL Settings at Maximum level, just to see what happened....and...Both run perfectly smooth...not a hint of a stutter, graphics/visuals astounding, FPS reported by FRAPS as outrageously high.
That's the good news. The Bad news is the totally incomprehensible GUI and Settings and other interface of ClOD with the Player/User/Flyer. I'm spending days reading FAQ's (some old/outdated, etc) and Forum posts/threads trying to get Keys and Axes set, learn the ClOD idiotic interface to set up (and/or eliminate) INFO Screens, etc. Finding out, for example, that it seems you cannot turn acft Icon/ID text on/off mid-game. Also scrambling just now to find out how to get back into Cockpit view after going just Once to 'external view'.
At least I didn't have to deal with all the Major Bugs of ClOD over the past 18 months, which I assume/understand have been fixed.
Right now, I am hunting down the latest info about Hakenkreuz enabling....it seems I'll need to find 3rd party Skins (which are always better than stock 1C skins anyway).
I'm just rambling now. Thanks for listening.
