post #27 is from a guy who is telling his first impressions

1. Нет плавности перехода из меню в меню , стандартный виндоус указатель мышки смотрется совсем чужеродно..
2. При падении самолёта происходят сильные тормоза. Выглядит плохо!
3. Постоянно фризит
4. Даже в меню при просмотре самолётов видно как постепенно появляются тектсуры на самолёте\пилоте
5. Графика вся на средних. ФПС над землёй при внешнем виде 45-50(камера направлена на землю), в кабине 35-45. Некомфортно.
При загрузке миссии несколько сек. фпс = 5-8
Над Лондоном.... ну вы поняли...
6. Звук иловский. Правда у меня нет отдельной звуковухи и нормальной аппаратуры !
7. Кабина и вода класс!

and some quick of my broken translation:

1) The transition when navigating from one menu to another is not smooth, standard windows cursor.
2) When you crash the plane, some big stutters occurs, that doesn't look good.
3) Lot's of freezings.
4) When browsing the aircraft section, the textures appears and loads slowly on the aircraft and on the pilots.
5) With graphics settings "MEDIUM", FPS when flying over land is about 45-50, inside the cockpit 35-45. Not so comfortable.
When the mission is loading, the fps is 5-8 and over London, you probably understand ...
6) The sound is just from il-2. i don't have some decent external speaker system.
7) Cockpit and water are great!

dead link.

[highness]

sorry i have corrected the link above!

The translation is pretty garbled. What are they talking about Track Ir and Freetrack? Any Bilingualists care to inform us?

The link was dead for me too but I was able to just go to the main forum page and browse to the thread.

Sounds like it aint gonna be perfect out of the box.

6 gigs minimum to get any smoothness? Interface errors..of course its just the bad stuff we're hearing..

they are already started talking about the first bugs

I am now officially glad I went nuts and got 12GB of RAM for my new rig. Can't wait to fly in Cliffs of Dover. Too bad about the sounds (although I can't say I didn't expect it). I maintain that Jane's WWII Fighters from 1998 had superior sounds to even the newest version of IL-2 and it sounds like Cliffs of Dover is saddled with the same stuff. Oh well, lets hope that a) the big release patch I read about somewhere gives sounds that are adequate or b) The devs enable the user to define a location of alternate sound samples (i.e. let external sound mods a la Jafa or Tiger33 be supported by the game). The visuals I have seen from CoD so far look excellent and I'm not worried about performance with my rig.

Cheers,

Just read that up

[Fafnir_6]

Yeah, I just read that too. I must say there was a sigh of relief when he talked about new sounds being recorded for CoD. I won't be completely at ease until I have heard the side-by sides.

Cheers,
